She notes that he's also doing a little investigating from the look of his busy fingers, powering down her omni-tool for the moment. "Have you found anything interesting yet?" She can't be sure what she's found until she combines all her data together and runs some comparisons.

"But I agree that it would be nice to at least have a map of this place."

He pauses, briefly, then moves a little closer, tabbing through his communicator until he can pop up the map he's been making. It's a skeleton - just lines indicating halls and walkways, with red and purple dots scattered around it. "Here. Uh, at least, 's wwhat I'vve got so far. Havven't really been lookin' too closely, but I'm not gettin' fuckin' lost here if I can help it."

"That's probably wise enough. Have you found yourself an occupation here yet?"

He realizes he's forgotten to answer her question, and reluctantly he rolls up his sleeve to show SEC right there with his numbers. "Got fuckin' branded wwith security, so yeah, I guess I havve." He sounds displeased, but not to the point where he'd want to shirk any kind of job.

He scowls. "It wwas just a real pain in the aft an' I don't wwanna repeat it." He hooks his fangs over his lower lip, a safer version of worrying at his lip considering the sharpness of his teeth, and adds, "But I don't wwanna just be a fuckin' wwaste of space, an' if this is howw wwe're doin' things, so fuckin' be it."

"At least this time there's the possibility of getting along better with the people you have to work with, maybe? Everyone on the crew seems willing to adapt and work together, which is more than I can say for most people who've been in this situation in the past encounters I've read about at home."

He shrugs, finally. "The rest are okay, I guess."

"Do you mean Megamind? He's -- started making a dwelling in Engineering, but I think it might be good for him to have some space to himself." They could all probably use a little more privacy than their 'private quarters' -- who knew who was watching them there. It made her feel fortunate that she didn't have to strip naked.

Eridan raises an eyebrow and gives her a skeptical look. "Wwho the flipperin' fuck is Megamind? An' howw the hell is he makin' a hivve dowwn in engineerin'? Isn't that against some kind'a rule?"

But apparently she'd -- earned the privilege or something like that.
