Bixx was slowly getting his gear unpacked; the small satchel he had brought with him on the bed as he lay out his meager clothing to clear away one piece of luggage.

"I have arrived on the Hyperion -A safely; a shuttle ride rather than transporter as they always give Bixx the 'Willies' so I tend not to use it as extensively as I might. She has her opinions and I am having to learn day to day how to be accepted and allow her to absorb my personality. SHe is a strong willed girl; even among her kind, and I sometimes wonder about this partnership? Still we do get along for the most part and i am always welcoming of her knowledge at times and she seems to like what she gets from me." He chuckled. "Though my hobby of the study of insects does give her pause and I swear I hear her complaining about how; and I quote 'How icky' the work I do with them." He was pulling out a very soft set of Pajamas. "When did i get Silk Pajamas?" He asked aloud. "Really Bixx, silk..." He shook his head. "The day I buy frilly I am changing her to another host as I will have lost it."

The satchel was empty and the sound of it being set aside could be heard.

"I am not the first scientist in Bixx's past hosts; of course she was female and I am sure the frilly silk things were so fun for her, but being it is me and Koska was a Oceanographer who studied Sea life on other planets as I am a Geochemistry specialty it would be interesting. The impressions of fish to minerals and particles might seem laughable to Bixx, or I could imagine it as such." He reach to the night stand for the warm tea. Still we are here on the Intrepid II class; more science stuff than most science ships her size. I look forward to breaking in the new toys in the science labs. It should be a fun career posting."

He took a drink.

"Well the duffel and Trunk are not going to unpack themselves and I have a needle point project that is screaming my name."
