Tell us about your MC’s bravest moment.

Kira: some call it indoctrinated some call it brave. Joining the Alliance Military forces with fourteen.
So young you are not pulled into service but educated into technology & mechanics of ships, strategy, tactics, knowledge of how weapons are build, what military doctrines are and schooled how to defuse the dangerous situations non violently. Still the Alliance Pre Education (closest translation short A.P.E.) program isn't without challenges and challengers, the skills are helpful everywhere in space, but joining the military that early even with its leave clause doesn't sits right with everyone.

Arkham: running away from home and deciding to take her life in her own hands.

Ashlei: can AIs be brave?
Should AIs be brave? Do we even want brave AIs?

Does your MC have a particular scent they love or hate due to their past?

hate
Kira: burning metal, blood, burning flesh, Space vakuum without much gravity. Hot iron especially because it's in all of the above.

Arkham: streets, big city, snow, the shower gel her mother used.

Ashlei: can't smell in the traditional sense (ha). She scans for Things. Things that endanger the mission or her crew. CO² overflow, less O², gasses, etc.

Love
Kira: signifikant others, her own scent when working out. She always finds new scents to like or dislike.

Arkham: not really, their are okay ones like food or her apartment, her shower gel but nothing she loves so far.

Ash: see above, enough O² some space anomalies but according to Kira most of them smell like rotten meat. Relaxed Crew members.

Your MC has 2 1/2 days of spare time, time to...

Kira on mission: Train more diverse. Paperwork. Being on call.
Kira not on mission: Splat on the couch, pretend the universe doesn't exist. Grab snacks, watch something, yell at the screen or cry depending on what she is watching.
2 1/2 days are not enough time in Spaces jobs to make plans.

Arkham o.m. crawl into any not highly frequented crawlspace and watch her NIN-Dramas.
Arkham n.o.m similar to Kira probably ordering something really unhealthy she will regret because of her health issues & watching more Dramas or maybe something pornographic & laugh about "the story" or a documentary. You can't watch the same stuff all the time it makes your brain smooth...

Ashlei: no spare time for the ships A.I. that said she can run instances of her self that can participate in spare time activity while her main system stays online & working.

What would be the most unappreciated social event a character of yours could be invited to?

Kira: Colony development plans.
The colony, she lives in, when not on mission, regularly meets & discusses everything, most of the times she prefers to read the exert. Votes can be send in via message. And since she is often times in space, when they happen, it's just easier for her to read through it, state her points written down & off it goes. She likes the neighbors she has & they have a good relationship but meeting over 35.000 people in basically a home owner association is taxing.

Arkham: Everything involving "the Brass" a lot of Alliance Admirals aren't aware of her condition. The Alliance is huge & the Unions Fleet even larger so her "incorrectly dressed state" would need a lot of explanation, at least in her mind.

Ashlei: has no preference or non preferences in that regard.

Did your MC ever have a melody/tune stuck in their head?

Kira: Yes

Arkham: Yes

Ashlei: not really since she can end a process if she wants to.

Extra Author: Kawehi - (Not another lame) fight song. Mostly the looped parts and I see her walking down the street remixing and looping stuff in her grey dress. Basically it's my visualizing inner eye replaying the video...

I shared this some weeks ago but I believe not in a prompt game.

MC POV: Write about three realistic goals you would like to achieve in your lifetime.

Kira: "I don't have any plans beyond my service time or this mission. Not anymore. The goal was to get the ice queen to retire & move her, together with Anika to my biological family's home I inherited. The house is way to big for me & a possible partner alone, it was planed for 5 gens after all & with my parents being polyarmor. Now with Anika M.I.A. or K.I.A. I don't know if 'mum' & I can reconcile without her I don't even know how to tell her, if Admiral Hackett-Anderson hasn't already. This whole mission has become such a swex."

Arkham: "The plan was to go back, live my life & wait for the next mission. Not sure I can to be honest. I never needed other people in between but this time's different. You know what they say about plans? They aren't worth a swex."

Ashlei: Bringing my crew safe home, clearing this mission."

MC POV: What area of your life do you tend to enjoy in excess instead of moderation?

Kira spoke quietly after reading the question: "Well not really anything, maybe Somwhar food. It looks a bit strange but it's really good."
Arkham snickered teasingly: "Come on, tell them of your habit of drinking over a liter of unrefined EQil daily."
Kira kept her face straight as she answered: "It's more efficient that way. How about we talk about your speed addiction? That visible anticipation, your eyes narrowing, you skin shivering, this smile, if you feel the seats responds, which is actually kinda cute."
Arkham felt exposed, perplexed, flattered that Kira learned her bodies language so fast. Her heart raced as fast as her mind to find an good remark: "Ain't..."
"Ain't?" Kira repeated: "Ain't what?"
Arkham didn't answer as she felt a wave of emotions.
Kira smirked she enjoyed this little battles with her FC way to much.

Where do your MCs fall, on a scale of timid to recklessly brave?

Is that a scale slider I don't know

Their bravery depends entirely on circumstances.

Kira is the acting captain, reckless behavior is not a favorite trait of the brass, that said saving others needs a good amount of self esteem & skill as much as to dare to do so.
So it completely depends on the situation at stakes.

Arkham as the Flight Commander is bound to bring home the ship & the crew safely, but has a very hot head approach to problems that can be fixed with a intelligent moves at the right time & she is very passionate about her principles. That said she also wouldn't risk the ship or the crew without reason & consent.

About Ashlei, AIs are not programmed to show or even have compassion. They are ment to counter risky maneuvers without an clear advantages outcome. Ideally protecting, their crews, from endangerment.
