I made an OC for the Orville , she's a collection of about 40,000 organisms or so that exist in a democracy operating as one person

Seeing more Orville people pop up I started making a list. It's small and humble like my peepee, but I'd love to change that.
💜💜
Let me know if I missed anyone. :)

Being scatterbrained, as well as /actually enjoying/ her work, Tall will often forget to take breaks and miss shift ends.

To prevent lack of food/sleep, she sets multiple timers and will reward herself with recordings of liminal spaces if she made it to a mandatory lunch break.

At his words her smile widened - barely noticeable to most, yet certainly to him.

"I am better with you too, Xas-" She began in a musing tone, leaning into his embrace.
"I speak 8 languages, write 13 and extrapolated many more, but I struggle expressing my thoughts... But...
You enrich me, Xas."

Xeno Artificial Sentience (XAS) @kaylonxas.bsky.social · Aug 22

"Sufficiently," he answered her simply. "Much better now that I'm here with you. Being with you makes me feel safe.
How have you been today?"
Opening his arms, XAS pulled Tal into an embrace.

Tᴀʟsᴇᴀ Dᴇᴠᴀɴ @talsea.bsky.social · Aug 21

Wit the hint of a smirk her gaze met his.

"Hello too, too.
How have you been holding up today?"

Tᴀʟsᴇᴀ Dᴇᴠᴀɴ @talsea.bsky.social · Aug 22

Tal raised one eyebrow with her gaze loosely following a fer of the bubbles.

"I suppose the effect is the same as when observing fish or lava lamps.
The slow movement has the observer calm down.
We instinctively know that bubbles will not do anything erratic, so we let our guard down...."

Admiral Fletcher @admiralfletcher.bsky.social · Aug 22

"Excellent," Willow smiled, watching the bubbles float around whimsically. "There is something almost magical about bubbles. They seem to melt stress and worries away."

Tᴀʟsᴇᴀ Dᴇᴠᴀɴ @talsea.bsky.social · Aug 21

"Here are the requested bubbles." @admiralfletcher.bsky.social

I believe many - perhaps even unconsciously - chose to see him as nothing more than an accident; a technological fluke, as to not face the though that we were technically experimenting on a living, sentient person..."

We expected to work with inert hardware, and for the longest time most assumed that that would be and stay the case.

Xas's awakening was a... Shocking experience to many of the staff;

The Epsilon staff seeing him more as a test subject and less as a person of course is a more complex subject matter, but it certainly did not help that upon retrieval of him and his downed ship, we deemed him dead.

As for your question regarding Xas:
No. he has never caused and/or instigated any type of incident.
As a matter of fact, he has become one of my most reliable and trusted peers.

It would not be my first time working as attaché for one of my XOs.
On that note, you will have my list of requested positions by shift end as well."

With a little stretch of her neck she leaned back in her chair, her hand once more reaching for her mug.

"Thank you.

As Willow began to muse about getting new Staff for the Valiant Tal leaned a little forward, raising one hand as if she had something to interject.

"...If it is of any help, I will gladly take anything office- and bureaucracy related off your shoulders.

Different levels of emphasis people put on rank and hierarchy was not new to her, but especially the casual approach proved to feel... Alien... To Tal.
The last time she had been asked to use someone's first name was during her time with the Sargun almost seven years ago...

With an acknowledging nod Tal took note of The Admiral's; /Willow's/ request.

"Alright. Willow it is-"
She calmly responded - It was admittedly a thing she would have to get used to again.

Admiral Fletcher @admiralfletcher.bsky.social · Aug 19

Noticing Talsea’s hint of a smile, Willow gave her a soft smile in return. “I believe you, no worries. You vouching for him is enough for me.”

Xeno Artificial Sentience (XAS) @kaylonxas.bsky.social · Aug 20

XAS hums in appreciation as his sensors detect the physical contact and the warmth. There are times when he really enjoys Tal being taller than he is, and this is one of them.
Gently he wraps his arms around her.
"Hello to you too."

|| I can personally attest to that.
I used to love writing for her but it's been some pretty damaging interactions, NGL.
