The cadets of Space Station Buenos Aires are all minding their own business, you have training in two hours, but until then you are free to do as you please.

Dray sat in her room reading a book, awaiting a call from her sister, Sam Draybeck. Her com console beeped and she moved over to it and answered the call. She and her sister talked about people they liked, her training, and the family. Eventually she hung up the call and went out to the common area to mingle with her fellow cadets.

Drakan had just recently broken the record time for solving a Rubik's Cube, though it went unnoticed. He then proceeded to greet and lightly socialize with his classmates. He finally looks out the window, staring into the void down below...

Torray Decides quickly to memorize the position of all the bathrooms on board, suffering motion sickness is not something she thought she would have to do on the SSBA. Still, it doesn't stop her from trying to explore her new home.

After meeting up with the fellow cadets and having somewhat curtly introduced himself, Dacre finds what looks like the most comfortable lounger in the common area and claims it. He stares out the station for awhile, absentmindedly fiddling with his very expensive and flashy wristwatch that was his early birthday present. Eventually he drifts off into a light sleep.

  Azure was staring out the window, head against the rim, staring out into space. He was sure this window gave him the view of his home world. He wondered how it was doing. He still found it weird to be around other species, but he also found it exciting. Though, he did find it hard to communicate, unless the species could sense the release of pheromones or understand the forms of sign and body language he had learned. At least he could understand them...

Isaac stares quietly at the new cadets from a dark corner. “Unbelievable”, he whispers to himself. None of the cadets were doing anything. I mean nothing. Some were just staring into the usual eternal abyss that was present a mere 1.23 millimeters away from killing everyone in the room that required any gases for sustained life. Not that anything worth life was going on, anyway. All anyone was doing was either pointless chatter, intense starring (directed at many different things), and releasing stress pheromones do to the biological marooning that they were undertaking. One did solve a Rubik Cube in 18.725 seconds. Not impressive, however, as Isaac did the same exact motion, followed by every known solution requiring exactly 20 steps in the time it took him to blink. At least that is what he would tell him if he started to brag about it. He didn’t seem like the type, though. Isaac then realized that just starring at the cadets was the exact thing he was internally complaining about, so he turned and decided to see if the Common Area’s video communications could show cable TV.

The defining sound of heavy steps could have told almost anyone that robotic droid had entered the room, or at least what appeared to be a robotic droid anyway. The unusual looking thing nearly strutted to the center of the room. Chubby looked around to see if anyone had taken notice. He frowned. They hadn’t.

A young man in an old cloak and jeans stared solemnly out one of the windows. A rather excellent physical specimen - for a human - slept in one of the loungers. He was indeed asleep as was indicated by the slight snores escaping his mouth at regular intervals. A very strange, and naked, humanoid looked out of another window unceremoniously. What appeared to be an actual AI Android was leaving the room while nearly knocking over a tall slender woman attempting to enter. He made a mental note to find the android later. So much to be learned.

Chubby looked around the room one more time. time to liven things up a bit. Too dead around here.

He activated the stereo components built into his robotics and began to blast some ancient music he had found in one of the many archives he had visited over the years. Coolio’s version of Fantastic Voyage blared through the room.

“Wazzup! Chubby in Da House!”

He was not overly impressed with the responses.

  Azure turned to the weird looking contraption that suddenly blared some sound... "What a weird sound," Azure thought. From the apparent rhythm, he could tell it was some form of music, though not one he was familiar ith, and didn't sound as nice as the usual harp play he was so familiar with.

   When it spoke up, Azure smiled, realizing it was actually a sentient thing, not just some gadget. He continued to smile, waving his hand over at thing animatron that called itself Chubby

Isaac cringed as so called 'music' started blasting from a large, metallic machine in the middle of the room. Revolted by the bombardment of his hearing processors, he turned tuned out the music with his own collection he 'borrowed' from some cadets a year ago.

Dacre woke up suddenly, to the blaring sound of Coolio. Looking around the room he notices several new cadets have joined him, only adding to the peculiar crowd of beings around him. Nothing much had seemed to happen since he fell asleep. Slightly quirked by the music, he gets up and walks over to the droid that appeared to be the source.

"Hey - excuse me? Mind turning it down a bit man?"

Chubby looked around unamused. The naked one was waving at him. The Android had looked his direction with those non-feeling eyes in what could only be construed as a look of disgust. Ass he thought to himself. The snoring one had been startled awake. ok. That was amusing. and have come over just to complain about the music. Complain! Of all damn things.

“Hmmmmpfff.” Chubby retorted. *sings/raps “If you can't take the heat, get yo' ass out the kitchen
 We on a mission.”

Stares blankly at Dacrewith his one robotic eye.

"Yeah, ok, whatever. Thanks."

Unamused, Dacre heads back to his chair and lies down, awake, thinking to himself. He heard training would begin in two hours...how long had it been? The anticipation was starting to annoy him.

AN announcement comes over the intercom. "cadets, make your way to the simulators, training will begin in ten minutes".

Chubby turns down the music. Time to get going.

"C'mon Ladies, Gents, and... other thingies. Time to see what ya got."

He walks quickly towards one of the doors, passing Dray in the process.

"Nice ass for a human there Sweet Cheeks." He stopped and looked around.

"Anyone know where the simulators are located?"
