Aboard the Trailblazer, in the year 2271....
Two men in black uniforms were practicing their hand-to-hand combat near the center of the ship, a relatively short walk away from the engine room on one side and the ship's physician on the other. Both of them are of above average height, but one is truly immense; over six and a half feet.
The large one has slightly wavy black hair, with lightly tanned skin and green eyes. Despite his size, he carried himself with an easy, lithe grace, and moved deceptively quick.
His opponent was getting the worst of it. Half a foot shorter than the other, the blonde man with the slicked back blonde hair was getting thoroughly trounced, but his expression was fixed to no more than a slight grimace. His cold blue eyes surveyed the enemy, and then he saw an opportunity, darting forward—
THWUMP!
The black-haired man stepped back, and rubbed his jaw gingerly. "Dammit, Calvin, you didn't have to hit so HARD."
"Better from me than from a REAL enemy, Jon," replied the blonde, cracking his arms slightly.
A slender, willowy young woman with pale skin and large, delicate green eyes was watching them. Her luminous golden hair was tied back in a loose ponytail, and Jennivere bit her lip slightly, unsure of whether to offer assistance or not.

In the office nearby, the ship's physician was busy finishing a transmission to his wife. His thin silver spectacles were starting to slide off the bridge of his nose, and he pushed them back up with a dark hand, then brushed back a lock of prematurely graying hair.
Well, not much else has been happening lately. Calvin's being an ass about Ake, but it's not too much of a problem. She doesn't like him either. More than I can say about her opinion of the nurse, but she's behaving, since Jenni really doesn't feel comfortable with that sort of attention.
That's pretty much it for recent ship's gossip, Maggie my darling.
love, Eduardo

Was asleep in his room, dozing lightly.

A tall, rangy black woman was pacing the ship. A black jumpsuit with a small red badge over the left breast identified her as being Captain Tanake Ozulu. Small, gold stud earrings caught the light as she moved, and her head was nearly shaved. Eyes nearly as dark as the voids between stars flit about as she walked. A metallic blue raygun hung at her left hip.
