Description
"You've got this now." Julia glanced over at Avarris. "The platters are marked by name." She stared out into the hall as the Helmsman moved away and towards the far corner.
She stepped through the door and made her way to the juke box. She selected a gentle melodic tune from the selection as pressed play.
"Interesting decor you have incorporated into the mess hall." Silvarious glanced over at the cook. He indicated to the Juke box. "That, I can understand. It's mood setting." He paused and looked back to the mechanical robot standing against the wall. "This. I have never seen anything like it."
"Mind stimulation." Julia smiled. "It awakens the mind."
He stood silent for several moments, looking between her and the Robot.
"Interesting. I can see the point you're making in that." He paused and looked back. "So what is it?" He grinned. "My mind is stimulated now."
She laughed lightly. "Then it worked." She placed a hand on the upper plate of the Robot. "When I was a child. Every rotation we would receive some very old transmissions. We later determined they were entertainment videos. Only scattered pieces." She pointed to the Robot. "An old Earth entertainment series referred to as Lost in Space. This Robot was one of the central characters. I never forgot it. I had your Engineer assemble this for me."
"Lost in space." He chuckled with a shack of his head as he glanced towards the bay windows and the streaking stars about them. "That kind of fits us."
"A strange little family surviving what may come their way." Julia nodded slowly. "This strange little crew is bonded in a way that is unique. Like a family."
Silvarious turned and stared back at the Robot in thoughtful silence for several moments.
"Never saw us in that way before."
"Now your mind has something new to consider." She tilted her head with a smile as she turned and headed back towards the kitchen.
Silvarious stood silent for several moments, watching as the cook slipped through the door. He then turned his attention back to the Robot.
"That's one strange woman." He whispered softly to himself, but found that he could not dismiss her words.
