Uhm here's my first fic in like 8 years, I hope it isn't to bad.

Fandom : sander sides ,

Pairings: intrulogical, background royality hint of anxciet

Words: idk fahm

He felt the familiar tug of Thomas summoning them, he sighed in annoyance at being disturbed.

He popped up just like any other day he was summoned only this time everyone was staring at him. "Why are you all looking at me as though my head has turned into Barneys armpit?"

"Uh....Nice outfit logan" Virgil managed through his suprise at logan not being in his normal tie and black polo.

Looking around the room at everyone staring at him, Logan realised he hadn't changed into his work clothes. No instead he was wearing large spiked combat boots, torn black skinny jeans, with a sleeveless punk rocker style Jean vest. Even his hair was a vibrant blue instead of the normal brown.

"Uhm...Logan? How come your dressed like that?" Patton had asked curiously.

being pulled from his thoughts by Patton's question logan turned to look at the fatherly side,

"Well it is not my usual attire, I am comfortable like this. I merely forgot to change before popping up. If you would all continue with the discussion you were having prior I would be grateful."

"I agree, let's get back on topic."

Logan was thankful for their host for helping in getting everyone's eyes off of him.

For the next hour or so they discussed whether or not Thomas should do one thing or the other, He didn't pay much attention. He was too focused on a strange feeling (heh feeling) that someone was in his room.

As soon as Thomas had his issue resolved Logan was the first to say goodbye, of course with a reminder to drink water and be healthy, but he was out of there quickly.

When he got back to his room he didn't immediately see anyone there, curious as to why he felt like someone had been. Looking around his room he noted how all the books were in place, his bed was still neatly made, his closet doors were slightly open as he had left them. Taking a moment to double check inside his closet, he felt like someone had their eyes on him. As he walked out of his closet he noticed a small paper and box on his desk.

Making his way over he examined the note with a strange curiosity.

To Lo,

I have a proposition for you, if you would like more info, check the kitchen ; )

From, someone.

As curious as Logan was about the note, he loved a good puzzle after all, he looked inside the little box. Inside there was a small space pin that had 'viva la pluto' written on a small ribbon. To say he was shocked was an understatement, he was baffled as to who would have given him something so nice and who would have gone through the trouble of learning about his disdain for Pluto no longer being a planet. 'It is a planet, stupid people.' he thought as he placed the pin on his vest. Making his way down to the kitchen he noticed Patton making dinner with Roman and Virgil not around, possibly in their rooms.

"Hello Patton, I wanted to apologize for my appearance today with Thomas, I nearly forgot to change, I will make sure it doesn't happen again."

Turning around and smiling brightly at Logan, Patton just gave him a shrugging wave. " It's alright Logan, I think we were all just surprised to see you...all punked out." "I understand the confusion Pat, I tend to only allow myself to dress this comfortably when there is nothing that will need my sudden appearance."

He Gave Patton a small smile while looking around the room, he noticed a small deep blue note on the counter, "hey pat, who's the note for?"

Patton turned and followed Logan's gaze- " oh that? Im not sure who it's from but it's got your name on it." Logan walked over and picked up the note, choosing to pocket it for the moment. "Well I am going to go reorganize my books, I shall see you at dinner Patton." He finished saying as he walked into the shared living room. Pausing for just a moment to read the note.

To my Star

I know you like to read so check your favourite book to find the next clue

From someone cool.

As he made his way back up to his room he couldn't stop himself from theorizing who the notes were from, it wouldn't have been Patton as he was with Roman, and Roman well, to be honest he didn't think Roman would do something this simple..

As he entered his room, he almost immediately noticed ' the murder of Agitha Christy ' sitting on his bed- not on the shelf. Sitting down on his bed picking up the book, he fondly remembered the first time he read the book, it was such a nice memory. When he opened the book he saw the note, gently taking it out and setting the book back on his bed, he read the note.

To My Sun,

I know this has been short but here is your final clue, meet me where you'd least expect me, yet exactly where someone like me would be.

Love your admirer.

'My Admirer?' he thought to himself as he got up to return his book to its place. Thinking logically he slowly went through the list of who it could be, Patton and Roman were quickly ruled out seeing as they were together. Only for a moment did he think it'd be Virgil, but realizing that Virgil currently likes Deciet, it wouldn't be him. Pacing back and forth in his room for a good 20 minutes he decides to try looking around the 'basement.'

No it wasn't really a basement more like where deciet and Remus chose to have their rooms.

Walking down the hallway that leads toward the 'dark sides' as Roman puts it, login again felt like he was being watched.

Making his was down to the common area for the 'dark' sides logan looked around seeing neither deciet or Remus. After a few moments of looking he sighed and thought out loud to himself. "who would send these notes, especially to me?' after all he was the 'nerd' he was logic. Although he didn't enjoy the nerd aesthetic as much as his punk one, he just couldn't get his thoughts to a conclusive answer about why someone would admire him.

Lost in his thoughts he didn't notice Remus come up from who knows where to stand right infront of him.

"HIYA Logan, whatcha doing down here?"

Be started into reality, login recomposed himself before answering, "I was looking for the author of some notes that I've been left, I am merley looking everywhere." He replied maybe. Little quickly, he had hoped Remus didn't pick up on it.

"Oh well, that sounds fun can I help you??"

Remus asked while bouncing on his feet, seemingly excited about being able to help someone. For a few moments logan questioned why Remus would want to help him, however he couldn't bring himself to a logical conclusion as to why he shouldn't let him help. He sat down on the couch that was behind him, and held the note out to Remus. "This is the last note I received however I do not know who the author is, and such I figured I just look around in places I wouldn't normally go." He finished with a huff, looking up towards Remus. He was reading the Note and doing his weird thinking face, Logan took this time to really get a look at Remus, he wasnt in his normal Dukey attire, he was wearing something more akin to how logan was dressed. Biker boots, ripped cutoff shorts, a black sleeveless t-shirt that read 'could be gayer' across the chest and a fully studded and patch covered Jacket. Logan laughed a little to himself about the similarities between his and remus's styles.

"Well, do you have an idea as to where I should look Re?"

Almost as if he had forgotten Logan was there Remus blinked then bounced right back into energy town. "I DO!!" He shouted and grabbed logan by the wrist. "I know this seems kinda crazy but just follow me!" Remus bounced forward dragging logan along with him. Ignoring the nice feeling of having someone else hold you, Logan followed after Remus, hoping it wasn't to far.

"Okay I'm gonna need you to close your eyes and trust me." Remus asked as he stopped in front of a door Logan didn't recognize. "May I ask why Remus, I do not wish to be the subject of your pranks."

Remus looked around quickly trying to come up with an excuse, not being able to think of a good one, he replied simply. "it's a surprise! But also because we have to cut through a part of my imagination. And I don't want you to be er.. grossed out?" Remus finished quietly, being considerate of the others feelings was a bit strange to Logan, seeing as Remus rarely did it, however he was more curious as to who the author of the notes was. He made the decision to trust Remus, and of he was honest with himself, he was hoping Remus was the author, seeing as he liked Remus for quite a while now.

"Alright Remus, I trust you to keep me safe, we can go when you are ready." Logan adjusted his glasses to look at Remus, who had been staring at logan with a wide grin plastered on, but slowly it wavered as he processed what logan had said. "You...you actually trust me enough to enter my imagination?" He asked, looking down rubbing his hands awkwardly together.

"Well yes, you may not have the nicest or cleanest thoughts and ideas, but you are a part of Thomas, and to be honest with you Remus, there are times when I prefer deciet and yours company more than the others. You are unpredictable and can be a bit much however, I have no reason to not trust you. You have never directly hurt me, or the others - well minus roman." Hoping that He didn't pick up on the emotions behind his words, Logan let out a small breath he didn't realize he was holding as Remus bounced in excitement. "Okay, let's go!"

Grabbing Logan's hand instead of wrist this time, Remus pulled logan into his imagination as soon as the other's eyes were closed.

Logan now with his eyes closed and his hand in remus' , he hoped Remus knew where he was going, but then again, He tended to know a lot of weird things, so he let himself get pulled along what sounded like a dirt path. Every so often he would hear humming from Remus as the walked. It had only been 10 minutes of walking but to Login it felt like longer, what with his eyes being closed and all that.

"Okay stay right there with your eyes closed." Remus had asked him calmly, with what seemed like nervousness in his voice if only a little.

"I.. uh okay" Logan replied trying to show as little confusion as possible. He could hear Remus walk towards and open something but, without the visuals he couldn't identify it, so he waited patiently playing with the various spikes on his wristband.

Remus slowly walked back over to Logan, a bouquet of wilted flowers in his hands (he tried for days to make living flowers but couldnt)

He gently tapped logan on the shoulder, "okay you can open your eyes now" he said with such gentleness that the other had not heard before, slowly opening his eyes and looking at his surroundings, he couldn't help but to be shocked. Up in the night sky there were thousands of glowing stars with a large shining moon bathing both men in a nice calm light.

As Logan looked around he noticed the partially alive trees and bushes that surrounded the clearing they were in. Remus had a wonderful imagination,sure, there were random creatures wandering around and random dirty jokes personified everywhere but it was wonderful in its own way. He wondered why so few were willing to see it.

Finally looking over at Remus, Logan noticed how he was already looking at him, with a goofy grin on his face holding what seemed to be withered flowers. "I know you are a hesitant person sometimes and that you like to do things in the most logical order. However demented or disturbing to the other my ideas and thoughts are, you help them to understand me better. Which I can't thank you enough for. So Logan Sanders...would you like to...go kill people together? LikeBoyfriendsShould? On a regular bases?"

It took a moment for logan to process all of what Remus had been saying, and if his thinking was right Remus was the author of the notes, and he was asking him out in a very Remus way...

For once Logan didn't have the words to respond, the side he has had feelings for, for a while is asking him out and to be his boyfriend. Before his logical thinking could stop him he stepped forward grabbing Remus by his jacket collar pulling him into a kiss.

Taking the kiss as a yes, Remus slid his hands around Logan's waist, kissing him back with passion in an attempt to communicate how happy he is. When they pull apart logan looks at him with a sparkle in his eyes that was usually reserved for learning. However right here right now, with Remus, in his imagination logan couldn't be happier, even with all his grossness or disturbing thoughts, Remus was the one for him.

"Thank you, and to verbally express my feelings, I accept your offer to be in a romantic relationship, Darling."

"Haha I figured from the kiss but thank you, to hear you say it makes my heart explode into a million pieces hahah." Leaning his head on Logan's shoulder the two sit and talk until dinner, to which they both go to, sharing glances and holding hands, much to everyone else's confusion. they lived punkily ever after.

I hope y'all like it, let me know if you do

Sorry for any errors in grammer or spelling, it isn't my strong suit

Premiere Nebula Modern AU Headcanons

(AKA how I think these future girls would act in 2019.)

Omega:

—Cartoon fangirl. Since her theme color is rainbow and she’s an artist, her faves would probably be the crazy colorful ones like She-Ra, Steven Universe, and MLP.

—Sells her art on the convention and Maker Faire circuit.

—Likes listening to indie music.

—Isn’t big on superheroes, but Stelle bought her a Thor jacket once for a gift exchange/secret Santa (kind of as a joke about her lightning powers), and she still wears it around a lot.

—Likes investigating urban legends, but isn’t quite as daring as the YouTubers who regularly go into abandoned buildings. (She may not be as easily scared as she was before the altering, but she’s still got anxiety, so like me, she’d be much too freaked out about getting caught.)

Valka:

—Watches true crime documentaries and claims she’s doing it for intel about how villains think. (Which is true, but she also wants to see if her case ever comes up, if people ever suspect one of the country’s major leaders of being the Manufacturer.)

—Likes tabletop games, especially if they’re strategy-based.

—Wears silly workout shirts, mainly because she thinks an athletic sun elemental wearing a “sun’s out guns out” shirt is the funniest thing ever. The other Nebula members understand that anything that gets their leader out of her trauma for a little bit is good, but still find it hard to take her seriously if she’s wearing one during briefing.

—Uses the “sparks joy”/“does not spark joy” meme incessantly, because her last name is Sparks and she secretly has a terrible sense of humor. Will instinctively say “this does not spark joy” in a tired voice whenever she’s disappointed.

—Because her younger sister Io loves anime, and because she has black hair and blue fire, she has been roped into cosplaying Dabi several times, often while Io cosplays as Todoroki. She was annoyed at first about this but realizes that this is probably the one time people get excited about seeing her use her powers. (“She did the thing! She did the thing!”) Plus, she actually doesn’t mind playing a villain once in a while.

—Definitely watches “mind game” anime like The Promised Neverland and Death Note.

Io:

—Was an unbearable hipster in her early teens.

—Probably owns at least three Jurassic Park T-shirts.

—Shitposter of the group.

—Was the one who got Valka hooked on true crime shows.

—Is currently the one trying to peer pressure Omega into exploring abandoned buildings.

—Likes YouTube amusement park documentaries, even though she’s only been to a few in her life because of the Manufacturer’s terrible parenting.

Xue:

—Definitely likes fairy-kei and Lolita fashion, and often looks at street fashion blogs for inspiration.

—Has successful managed to choreograph her ice magic to match Elsa’s in Let It Go. Is currently working on the other Frozen scenes in hopes of someday mastering the entire movie.

—Probably dresses up as Elsa for little kids, because she’s that good of a person. The kids love seeing an Elsa who actually has ice powers!

—Goes on advice blogs a lot and tries to help as many people as she can on them.

—Once got a “my shield doesn’t fit in my workout bag” novelty exercise shirt from Valka, and only wears it to be nice. (Needless to say, the Nebula gift exchange was a bust.)

Xing:

—That one YouTuber who exclusively does metal covers of non-metal songs.

—Secretly has an Instagram poetry account, where she writes under a pen name to preserve her “street cred.” (“It’s one thing to write your own songs—online poetry is not rock ‘n roll.”)

—Absolutely had an emo phase.

—Attempts to make a Nebula meme account along with Io. (Valka nixes the idea.)

—Overly aggressive Guardians of the Galaxy fan. (“If you try to tell me the Avengers are better one more time, Stelle, I will fight you.”)

Koto:

—Gets roped into joining the robotics team, and actually really likes it.

—Once ordered an absolutely massive mint chocolate shake (like the kind you see on food blogs), and regrets it immediately.

—Regularly gets in Internet fights with people who hate mint chocolate.

—Will talk your ear off about the similarities between Stormtroopers and military clones, and how the implications behind the fictional one tie into the treatment of the other, very real party.

—Likes Captain Marvel (because she reminds her of her girlfriend Stelle) and has a couple Captain Marvel T-shirts.

—Since Io likes anime in the modern AU, she would immediately see the resemblance between Koto and a gender-flipped Deku (green hair, freckles) and remark on it in battle. Once she watches the anime, she finds it’s pretty cool that they look alike. (And that the dark skin/green hair combo also makes her resemble Sailor Pluto.)

Stelle:

—Had (and probably still has) a DDR phase

—Really likes Captain America, because Winter Soldier was on TV when she was in the hospital, and she admired how he never gave up on Bucky in spite of his brainwashing. For a while, she wished she had someone like that in her life, until the Nebula members basically say “Koto’s right there, you idiot.”

—Would probably be the one to spam their page with mental health and trauma memes.

—Likes YA fantasy a lot, even the silly ones.

—Projects a lot onto fictional characters. (Particularly Bucky because of the whole “brainwashed assassin” situation, Captain Marvel because of the “fighting for the wrong side” situation, and Rapunzel because of the “kidnapped since infancy” situation.)

Kaine:

—Probably reads trashy romance novels.

—Absolutely mains Widowmaker. (I don’t even play Overwatch, and I know this. Sniper-type IRL, kinda goth, definitely a Widow main.)

—Teaches Stelle to play Widowmaker after she realizes how close their backstories are, and bonds with her over video games.

—Follows Gothic Lolita blogs, just like how Xue follows classic/sweet Lolita blogs.

—Likes horror movies, but doesn’t scare easily.

Phea:

—Has a beauty/social justice blog that isn’t really popular.

—Most of her popularity comes from her makeup videos, where she attempts increasingly weird and complex stage makeup designs. She’s the one who does Valka’s cosplay makeup for the Dabi costume.

—Is a big advocate for body positivity, and calls out every scam-endorsing celebrity she sees on Twitter.

—Is the type to bullet-journal every day out and make it as aesthetic as possible.

—Has mermaid-print everything.

Note

7, 26, and 31 for Roo?

compiling some character askmeme asks into one post to reduce dash clutter. this first one refers to this meme. the answers are under a cut for length (there are asks from other people below the cut).

7. How do they feel at night, in silence, all alone?

Roo has trouble sleeping owing to significant insomnia-type issues. sometimes she takes something to put herself out. other times she doesn’t. those times, she has to do something in order to keep her mind occupied. taking tech apart and putting it back together again, or just taking it apart. drinking. working out. watching crappy movies. pacing. making food and not eating it. she does a lot of ‘not eating it’. sometimes shooting the shit with anyone else who happens to be up at the same godawful hour (she’ll talk any kinda crap at those times, as long as it’s shallow and surface level). anything to avoid looking inwards basically. she occupies this strange space where she prefers her own company and is a fairly solitary sort, but has a chronic need for external stimulation in order to distract herself from herself and avoid anything approaching introspection. she’s restless and leaves a lot of projects unfinished. the mess come morning is probably the cause of several irritated notes left on the Tempest crew dorm noticeboard.

26. How do they cope with sorrow

short answer: she doesn’t. an enneagram 7, Roo is essentially in flight from herself - consequently she ends up in flight from any pain she’s supposedly-experiencing and doesn’t identify her feelings or process things in a healthy way. instead she numbly seeks sensations, which is a bad feedback loop. she tries to avoid both responsibility and emotions. I guess that makes her an escapist?

31. Tell me about their aesthetic

mm.. a lil bit punky, a lil bit grungy, ‘Omega chic’. wears a lot of black. some images and posts that sorta ‘spoke’ Roo’s aesthetic to me are collected in my Andromeda inspo tag. sarah manning, lisbeth salander and jessica jones were definitely influences. she’d look at home in any cyberpunk-esque ‘illegal underground’ type settings, or in the Belt in the Expanse.

kestrelsansjesses said: questions 1 and 2 for your Ryder :)

universepepperland said: 8 12 19 for Roo! :O

noctmore said: 8, 12, 13, and 14.

These other asks refer to this meme.

1. The basics! Whats their full name, gender, and sexuality? Describe their general appearance and/or include a picture. Is there anything you canon beyond what the game allows?

Ruairidh Ryder, “Roo” for short. She’s nb afab, bi/whatever (since I’m apparently incapable of creating anything else). This is her current appearance. she shares hazel eyes and a matching tattoo with her twin brother (it was her idea, they were very drunk) - his is on the other side of his neck though. her hair is naturally dark - the silver/gray is a genemod. the scarring is from a barfight she doesn’t remember. the game CC doesn’t allow for her unhealthy pallor, long nose, the dark circles under her eyes or her general overly-lean and wiry appearance/frame.

2. Can’t always wear Initiative whites and blues, Whats their dress style like? Do they prefer casual wear, or being in armor? Is it the same as it was in the Milky Way? How, if applicable, has it changed since arriving in Helius?

dress style is pretty much covered up there under 31 I think. prefers casual wear (the tank and the jacket) due to her tendency to wish to do as she pleases. her preferences in armor tend towards techy, experimental, custom/modded pieces (some illegal and obtained via underhanded means). its not uncommon to find her wearing armor pieces from different sets cobbled together to suit her preferences. not much has changed since arriving in Heleus - except that outside of the uniformed rigidity of the Alliance, she has more room and ability to do.. whatever the fuck she wants.

8. Its all in the family. Explain their relationship with Alec, Ellen, and their sibling. If you changed anyone’s names or added a different sibling in your canon, explain why.

Roo and her mother were (are) pretty estranged - if you ask Roo, she was something of a workaholic. Roo loves her twin brother, but doesn’t know how to relate to him or how to connect with him. on some level she feels like she should be responsible for him, but knows she’s like the most irresponsible person ever. they don’t communicate as often as she knows they should. when they do talk, she feels like she’s reading from cue-cards, playing out a script of how a sister should act towards her brother. with her brother she does a lot of sorta “saying the thing she’s probably expected??? by the world??? to say??? in this situation???” she feels like a bad sibling. she ignores that feeling most of the time though.

Roo and her father’s relationship was strained and sometimes tumultuous, especially when she was a teenager. Alec was away on duty a lot. after he dies, she’s pretty mad at him for leaving again, for dragging her and her brother and humanity’s recruits along to Andromeda and pooping on the family name with his AI bullshit back in the MW in the first place, for Andromeda being a bust, for what he did with her mom, for all his lies and secrets ever, for burdening her with all this responsibility and shit that she never wanted to even be a million light years away from, for landing her in a shitheap crazytown situation and kicking the bucket. thanks dad.

when the twins were really young, though, Alec shared his love of new frontiers and exploring by taking the little Ryders on trips to wild places.. they grew up on bedside stories about his adventures in the Sierra Nevadas, through the Charon Relay, in the First Contact War. she remembers that stuff fondly.

12. Explain the way they feel about their squadmates, both initially and over the course of the story.

oof, quite the question. mmm here are some unstructured brief ‘snapshots’ from different points, in a rough note format, of my thoughts on the relationships between them and Roo (these arent descriptions of their relationships in their totality, mind) -

Liam - his easy manner and early-on ‘normalness’ relative to all the crazy shit happening around her like Alec’s death, the new galaxy being a bust, being made the Pathfinder were.. not quite a reassurance or a stabilizing/grounding force, she’s was too guarded and disconnected from her feelings for that, but definitely they were a helpful dose of normality; the beer was a good call on his part; they had an impulsive Moment when they were both raw and reeling; later on, they clash some over the way he speaks to Vetra at points, over their shared recklessness/impulsiveness and mutual hypocrisies, over his (in her eyes) idealism/naivete, and over their differing ideas (values really) about crime and drugs in Andromeda. (I love Liam though)

Vetra - from the very outset Roo taps the turian as 1) someone who can hook her up with things she and the Pathfinder crew need - ‘now here is someone established who knows people, the market, and can source what I ask for’ - as a jack of all trades procurer and 2) someone from ‘her’ side of the track. Roo’s plenty experienced in accessing that sort of stuff for herself, but Vetra’s been moving in Andromeda for over a year before Roo arrives. shes established. a lot of their first interactions center around and began from this. naturally, because of this and her keen observational skills, Vetra is the first person on the Tempest to recognize the full extent of Roo’s problems. a friendship develops out of this early association and out of the chequered backgrounds they have in common - they’re quite similar people in that regard. later on, Vetra becomes Roo’s closest and most valued friend. Roo comes to rely on Vetra’s calm manner and resourcefulness, and appreciates her dry sense of humor. I think Vetra is probably the only one from the Tempest crew Roo genuinely and completely trusts, and probably Roo’s first real friend ever (prior to the game all of her ‘friendships’ had been loose-bonding, shallow surface-level associations). Roo dotes on Sid.

Cora - Roo really struggles with Cora. Cora is disciplined, successful and a good soldier. that’s everything Roo should be, but isn’t. Cora was close to Alec and trusted him and his vision - Roo wasn’t and didn’t. Roo struggles with some jealousy and feeling like Cora was sort of like the ideal daughter Alec wanted but didn’t end up with. she resents their close relationship/mentorship. she resents that Cora initially struggles with her own feelings of jealousy/resentment over not being made Pathfinder - Roo feels like, I sure af didn’t want any of this, this isn’t my fault or choice. she’d much rather Cora was the Pathfinder and then she could just go and do her own thing elsewhere with no responsibility. it’s a shame and kind of ironic because in a way they’re both lost biotic outcast outsider kids that don’t fit in and have troubles with parental figures. Roo thinks all the asari stuff is really stupid and doesn’t have any time or patience for any kind of philosophy shit. she also struggles with the feeling that she’s trying to grieve and come to terms with her father’s death and sort out her messed up feelings and thoughts on the whole thing, meanwhile Cora (in Roo’s eyes) makes Alec’s death all about herself for a while. Cora’s workaholic tendencies and focus on order don’t gel well with Roo’s lazyness and scattered approach to life. they have a love of hydroponics as some common ground.

Jaal - ah Jaal. Jaal and Roo struggle for a long time to find a bare modicum of trust and common ground for a working comrade-relationship.. they both lack close ties and have no real sense of purpose and come from famous families and have issues relating to this, but they’re super opposites as people. Jaal is so loud, emotional, heart-on-his-sleeve, talk-about-our-feelings, effusive. it unnerves Roo and makes her feel intensely uncomfortable, he’s far too open, she’s intensely private about personal things and not at all introspective or prone to considering her feelings or discussing feelings in the least. she finds it really strange and alien (pun not intended). it’s far too much for her, almost overwhelming. also she can’t comprehend his spirituality or the emphasis on family. I think she found dealing with Jaal easier when he was still cagey, guarded and withdrawn (shortly after joining the crew). meanwhile, Jaal finds Roo inauthentic and disconnected, both from herself and her inner world and others (and it’s true), and unable to take anything seriously. to an angara she’s so closed off that she seems almost broken and possibly duplicitous (because what are you hiding? from us? from yourself?). she doesn’t let people in and also has a tendency to lie. it’s a bad combo for trying to engage with angara. Roo is Kadara personified; Jaal hates Kadara and what it represents.

Peebee - its not entirely plain sailing for Peebee and Roo, they have a couple fights, but they have more in common than they do that’s different, and they have more in common than Roo and the rest of the squad, Vetra notwithstanding. they’re both lone wolfy, external-stimulation-seeking, casual approach to things, keep people at arms’ length, reckless/impulsive, lacking in social graces because they dont care, tell lies, a chronic need to be in search of fun and adventure, etc. some contrasts - Roo is quieter, less completely-irreverent, less energetic & impish & cheerful, more secure, less interested in the academic. Roo also doesn’t experience the same growth Peebs does (her teamwork arc). still, they get on reasonably well. for a time they even engage in a casual fwb setup, it ended amicably. as far as friendships go, Roo appreciates that Peebs knows how to have fun and that they can kill time together doing whatever, while not going too far beyond the ‘surface’ level or pushing Roo to talk about herself, her feelings, or anything personal. Peebs Gets It.

Drack - I’d venture to say that after Vetra Drack is the squadmate Roo is closest to. she starts out chafing under the “kid” stuff, thinking its condescending. they eventually reach an understanding, Roo realizes its affectionate in nature, gains +1 father/grandpa figure (which I think is something she sorely needs [see stuff about Alec above]). drack came to Andromeda because his clan came, she came because her family came, they both came to see new stuff and find new stuff to shoot. they have a love of a good fight in common, which naturally goes a long way to cement a friendship. Drack is also surprisingly insightful when it comes to Roo’s feelings - I think he identifies them much better and a lot quicker than she does, if she even does at all. she appreciates how cool and laidback Drack is and thinks he’s hilarious, a real riot. Chosen Family trope applies. she’s also super interested in his cybernetics. he cooks for her quite a lot I think - Roo’s idea of cooking is boiling water for instant meals. I think at one point Vetra expresses a wish that Drack raised her. I don’t think Roo’s feelings about him are much different.

13. Explain the way they feel about the rest of the Tempest crew?

Gil - they’re pretty fast friends. which is great for them both, because until then Gil only had Jill and Roo had no friendships with actual depth or substance (or only had Vetra, time-point depending). they settle into an easy friendship quite early on as they share a mutual understanding (neither of them want to discuss their pasts or their personal lives), similar interests (both a dab hand with tech and with cards), similar values (adaptability over sentimentality) and some unifying traits - both are sort of purposeless kids, they both impulsively do risky things without thinking them through. I think they recognize the kindred spiritness in each other. Roo loves Gil’s sense of humor. they drink and play poker together a lot. Roo hates Jill and thinks she’s weird and creepy and abusive and invasive. Roo wishes she could relate/connect to her brother the way she relates and connects to Gil.

Suvi - Roo likes Suvi fine enough I think, even enjoys her company somewhat. she’s smart and nice, helpful and useful, non-judgemental, and doesn’t push Roo’s boundaries about emotions or privacy etc. they do have verrry little in common. Roo appreciates her brilliance but Suvi’s religious views just don’t compute; Roo disagrees pretty strongly with her views on religion+science (Roo doesn’t believe in anything except herself really and sees nothing divine or intelligent about the way things are; nothing is mystical, everything is ‘flat’). but it’s not really a problem between them. Roo has no real interest in or head for philosophical discussions or that type of debates, however conversely she’s often looking for distraction, so there’s that. I think they sometimes sit up during the night cycle and watch the stars go by together on the bridge. sometimes in companionable quiet, and sometimes Suvi tells her all sorts of things she doesn’t know about space and science. Roo is happy to listen.

Lexi - Roo values her skill, approves of her objectivity and appreciates her aloofness. on the flipside, she finds the medical attention and questions invasive, unwanted and unwelcome. she does know Lexi is just doing her job and also trying to look out for her as a crewmate, but Roo doesn’t want to hear any advice, concerns or judgements about her lifestyle or habits. she routinely skips her medical exams, ignores her medical advice and lies to her about what she’s been doing (and not doing). I think they run into each other drinking in the bar more than they would like. I think Roo frustrates and stresses Lexi out a lot.

Kallo - they’re friendlyish. he’s sharp, he’s witty. sometimes they talk about random crap. I think he sometimes gives her a lowkey headache though and she wishes he’d loosen up. she struggles to relate to him somewhat because of his unique memory setup and his personal feelings about / being mired in the past. she’s not sentimental and takes risks, believes in adapting on the fly. they eventually become something close to friends once they reach an understanding. reckon they enjoy shit-talking the rest of the crew together, lol.

SAM - the technological advances, increases to her abilities and implications on a cybernetic/transhumanism front excite her, but mostly Roo tries really hard not to think about SAM and their connection. she misses being alone in her own head and hates & resents the impact on her privacy / general invasiveness of the setup. she blames her father for this though, not SAM. it’s not SAM’s fault.

14. How about Nexus leadership and the people on the Nexus in general?

briefly:

she thinks Kesh is cool

Addison is irrelevant to her

likes Tiran

“fuck Tann” (even though they’re both wildly out of their comfort zones and have been thrown off the deep end into something they’re not prepared for)

she feels disconnected to the people on the Nexus in general. yknow, she’s disconnected from most things. tbh she doesnt really care about most of them. she knows she doesn’t want to be responsible for their safety or survival. she knows she would have rather gotten to Andromeda and vanished into the crowd. the Nexus is a faceless mass she struggles to conceive of in any personal or meaningful way. she feels more at home on Kadara. the people in Kadara Port are more like her. Kadara Port is her favorite place.

19. How do they feel being in command of the Tempest? Whats their favorite part of the ship? Least favorite?

being in command of the Tempest is a mixed bag, at once freeing and caging. on one hand she’s psyched to have control of such an amazing hightech ship, lets get this baby dirty and fly away, lets go do crazy shit, go where she wants, do what she wants, see what she wants, the only person she’s beholden to is herself. fuck the rules and regimentation of the Alliance and everyone else, this is freedom now, and in a wild lawless place too. on the other, shes beholden to Nexus leadership and all these random people, she has a huge responsibility and burden that she DID NOT DID NOT want, and this was supposed to be her father’s ship and her father’s command. she’s not a hero or a reliable person and just wants to fuck off and do her own thing. I think she let Alec drag her to Andromeda so she could still be in the same galaxy and timepoint as her father and brother at least, and because ‘fuck it’/she lacks direction and drive/she had no ties in the MW/the things she likes are probably all the same no matter what galaxy you’re in/recklessly seeing new stuff/other ill-advised half-baked not-thought-out reasons - I think she was hiding from her father and brother that she planned on quitting the “Pathfinder team” once they arrived in Andromeda, kept up the lie so she could at least have passage and get there, yknow. on arrival she was gonna leave the Pathfinding whatever to her father and his team and fuck off to the Nexus underbelly to keep on pleasing herself and doing her own thing and generally being the same Roo she always was, just in a different galaxy. yeah that went well.

her favorite part of the ship was the tech lab. I suppose it still is, it’s just that she she doesn’t go there as much as she used to. with her interest in tech and need to keep herself/her mind busy, the tech lab was for a time a sanctuary where she hid out to avoid unwanted social contact and took tech apart and put it back together, modded things, experimented. unfortunately for Roo, Jaal opted to take up residence there when he joined the crew. that was a source of some frustration/irritation on her part for a while, and even a bit of tension between them over the use and sharing of the space. she ends up going there a lot less due to the aforementioned discomfort with Jaal’s expressive/effusiveness. she’d spend more time in the bio lab (she likes hydroponics) if it weren’t for Cora/her struggles with Cora. she likes the bridge when it’s unattended/autopiloted in the night cycle and the ship is travelling through space - she sits with a cup of coffee and her legs dangling over the ‘edge’, and watches space go by. I think she spends the most time in Vetra’s room, either alone or in companionable silence with Vetra as they each do their own thing, like their own datapads/terminals or respective tinkering projects, etc. she’s comfortable around Vetra and the space is out the way, with no thoroughfare.

her least favorite part of the ship, ironically, is the Pathfinder’s Quarters. this space isn’t hers. it was not meant for her. it’s her father’s. and she hates that - what it means she’s lost, what it means she’s responsible for, what it means she was never meant to be doing.
