Could she be your muse?

7 years ago.
Earth Orbit. Military Cruiser "Jesus". March 4, 3998.
A deathly silence would have filled the captain's bridge if only the ship itself hadn't been breaking it. When the superiors, in the form of a stern captain, "stood over their shoulders," all personnel performed their duties without uttering a single word. The captain also silently and attentively observed the work of his subordinates. He was a sturdy old man with an aquiline nose that spoke of his severity and wisdom. Despite the age revealed by the gray hair visible beneath his cap, this man had retained an unwavering spirit and the energy of a child.
One of the lieutenants approached him.
- Captain Ackerman, a shuttle from Earth has just landed on board the "Jesus".
The old man was surprised. – Usually, such information is reported via intercom; why is it different this time?
- The fact is, sir, that this is an unplanned reinforcement of the crew. The reinforcements were approved by the Government of Earth and the fleet admiral.
- Is that so? I wish to see a brief dossier on the new arrivals.
- Yes, of course. - the lieutenant handed over a tablet with a graphical interface – two officers, a mechanic, a doctor, four privates, a special agent.
- Now, let's see.
"Lizard, White. Lieutenant, 19 years old, originally from Italy. Raised in a wealthy and influential family—the commander-in-chief of the Italian army and an American actress. His father was killed by one of the terrorist groups because he was a major obstacle to them. Lizard is friendly, sociable, and eloquent; possesses good intuition, incomparable charm, and a sense of duty, guilt, and justice."
"Commander Revan. 22 years old. Nothing known about his family. Until the tragic events that occurred four years ago, he studied to be a historian. The 'tragedy' broke and changed him. Currently has no friends or attachments to anything; tries to keep people at a distance. Always restrained, rarely loses self-control, capable of executing any order without suffering from own conscience. In ordinary times, can be absent-minded and clumsy."
- What young officers these days. – the captain commented.
"Evans, Dave. Mechanic, 43 years old. Married, has two sons. Spent a lot of time in his father's garage as a child, where he later worked part-time doing repairs. Despite having no higher education, he is a natural mechanic."
"Doctor Werewolf Carter. 20 years old. Born in London, later moved to Paris, where she lived, studied, and worked. Despite a rather difficult temperament, she is a selfless and benevolent person."
"Private Walker"...
Military Cruiser "Jesus". Hangar. March 4, 3998.
The crew of the last shuttle was met by a short midshipman with a funny expression on his face, accompanied by several soldiers. - Welcome aboard the "Jesus", gentlemen! - the friendly greeting and smile of the host were reflected accordingly in the mood of the arrivals. – but let's leave the introductions for later; I think you are tired after the flight and would like to go to your cabins as soon as possible and get some good rest, right? – The midshipman addressed his soldiers – Private Blau will lead the new soldiers to the living quarters; Private Frey will show the doctor and mechanic the staff living quarters, and I will personally accompany the officers to the officer's cabins.
After a couple of dozen minutes, both officers were at the doors of their cabins, having thoroughly enjoyed a short tour of the ship along the way.
- How do you like it? – the shorter one decided to start the conversation first – I've never been on space ships before, have you? My name is Lizard, by the way. – he extended his hand for a handshake.
Lizard was of medium height, had blond hair, blue eyes, and snow-white, straight teeth. His appearance suggested that he spent a considerable amount of time on his looks, as he looked "excellent."
His silent companion returned the handshake and introduced himself: "I am Revan," he said.
The blond laughed – very modest! – however, seeing that his interlocutor did not appreciate the joke, he returned to his question – so have you been in space before, or on other planets?
- Yes, I have.
Realizing that Revan was unlikely to be in the mood for a heartfelt conversation, Lizard decided to leave him. Both guys went to their cabins and began unpacking their belongings.
The talkative officer had several bags that had been brought by porters a few minutes ago. Among these things were various trinkets, a portable computer, a photograph of his father, and decorative items. Surroundings create the mood – so believed the owner of these things.
The second one, on the other hand, had only a few personal belongings with him.
A couple of hours later.
Revan was awakened by a voice coming from the speaker built into one of the walls of his cabin. The captain wished to see him.
Dressing in a snow-white officer's uniform, he left his cabin and looked at the clock on his handheld computer. "Plenty of time. I'll visit Doctor Carter on the way." Finding the required cabin, he unsuccessfully tried to call the doctor via intercom. Apparently, she had already settled into her new workplace.
- Are you looking for Doctor Carter?
Revan turned his head and saw a girl of about sixteen behind him. He turned around and introduced himself.
- Nice to meet you. My name is Jessica, or just Jess - the girl smiled shyly, while the young officer looked into her dark eyes, completely forgetting the purpose of his visit. This Asian girl evoked memories of the past that weighed so heavily on him and from which he tried to rid himself – You were looking for Doctor Carter, right?
- Correct.
He was right; the doctor was in the medical bay, likely settling into her new workplace. However, he did not waste any more time and headed to the captain's bridge, where he found the captain.
- Captain.
- Ah, Commander, glad to see you! How are you feeling?
- According to my own observations, my health is stable. At the time of my departure from Earth, doctors gave me exactly the same diagnosis.
- Yes, that's excellent... Revan, what do you know about the state of Asylum?
- Quite little; some rebels, or something like that.
- Asylum is a colonized planet in the Sirius system. A separate state, as such, emerged as a result of a successful rebellion twenty years ago. This is the only case where colonists managed to seize control over a planet. As you understand, Earth cannot allow colonies to gain independence, and this state negatively affects the mood of residents in other colonies—meaning, if others succeeded, then why shouldn't they try, roughly speaking. Now we are more ready than ever to take this planet back. Currently, global combat operations are already underway there. Reinforcements are gathering from all sectors. The "Jesus" will make a hyperjump to the Sirius system in two days. You will lead a company of soldiers and land on the planet. White Lizard will be your deputy.

Asylum. Metropolis. Bar. February 20, 3998.
The bar was very crowded and noisy, as is usually the case in such places. Most of the goods offered by the bartender were illegal throughout the known part of space, but not here. This is a great place for smugglers, bandits, drug dealers, and any other criminals – and there were plenty of all of them here. One could lose their life over any trifle, even if someone didn't like your face.
Regulars sat at the card table; they talked, laughed, drank, stuffed themselves with food, discussed the latest news, and naturally, played. A short fat man rose from the table and started an argument.
- You cheated! - the player declared loudly, staring at his opponent.
- Better not lose what's left of your dignity; you lost.
- I wouldn't have lost if it weren't for... I saw it, damn it! You're a cheat, let everyone know!
The fat man's nose met the winner's fist, and he collapsed to the floor, looking at his assailant with fear.
- Well, if you have nothing to pay with...
The losing card player was stripped naked and thrown out of the bar.
- Medgerson, why didn't you just kill him? – asked the bartender
- This guy held back 200 credits, even though for him they were pennies. I have no desire to soil my hands with filth.
- Here – the bartender handed his interlocutor a glass of bluish liquid – on me.
In the evening, two soldiers in power armor burst into the bar. A silence and tension instantly hung over the bar. The unexpected guests approached the bartender and, after asking a couple of questions, headed to the table where Medgerson was sitting.
Medgerson? - one of them asked, addressing him.
- No, I'm afraid you have me confused with someone else.
The soldier tried to hit him with an electric staff, but Medgerson reacted sooner and, swinging his heavy shotgun from behind his back, fired at point-blank range into the helmet, and immediately overturned the table onto the second soldier, blocking his view. He ran out into the street, where a squad of police and military were already waiting for him. He had no chance; he surrendered. One of the policemen approached him, and the last thing he saw was an electric baton hitting him on the head. His vision darkened...
Asylum Stratosphere. March 9, 3998.
Two dozen transports, carrying 4 hundred soldiers from aboard the "Jesus", gradually descended toward the ground while under fire from enemy air defenses. After disembarking from the transport, a soldier had not a moment's respite; he was obliged to grab his weapon and run to the front line.
When they entered the troposphere, the shelling became more frequent and intense. Artillery guns were added to the air defense systems. Incoming shells blew up transports along with their crews or forced them to lose altitude sharply.
A laser beam grazed the transport in which Lizard was located, and it began to spin in the air. In a normal situation, the crew would be obliged to take jetpacks and jump out, but everything happened very quickly – he crashed into a mountain ridge.
When Lizard woke up, he immediately unbuckled and climbed out as quickly as possible through the shattered front part of the ship. He took a heavy hit; his head ached and he felt dizzy. As soon as he got out, he vomited. But he had nothing to complain about – everyone else was dead. Spending a little over five minutes getting himself together, he looked around. It turned out that the mountain they crashed into had a cave inside. It was lit by light emanating from the burning transport. The communicator and RC were broken; he had no contact with his own. Examining every corner, he realized that the only passage was a hole in the ground. How deep was it? With such lighting, one couldn't say for sure, so he took a boulder and threw it down. The boulder splashed in water. "At least fifteen meters," he thought. Given the characteristic splash, one could say with certainty that the water level was at least half a meter. "I don't know what I'll do there, in the dark, without light, but there is no other way." He jumped into the hole "pencil-style" and plunged into the water. He was lucky and didn't break his legs; the water level turned out to be deep enough, even too deep. At first he thought he was drowning, but self-control returned to him, and he surfaced and stood up. The cave gave off a faint greenish glow produced by strange plants previously unknown to Lizard.
He found another passage which, like the hole, was the only exit here. The passage led somewhere down and straight, along the mountains. Lizard walked for a long time through the tunnel and stopped for a second upon hearing an echoing hiss. He turned around and noticed a vile creature. It looked like an Earth spider but was much larger and more disgusting. A three-foot body moved tremblingly on 8 legs. Lizard felt his legs give way, but he regained his composure in time and drew the knife from its sheath; when the "spider" lunged at him, he slashed the creature with the knife and dodged to the side. "Well, that turned out not to be so difficult." The officer wandered through the caves for hours, repeatedly encountering arachnid monsters until he emerged into a gorge. Walking a bit further, he found himself in a valley, and ahead of him, across a chasm, he saw an enemy fortified base—apparently, headquarters. He lay on the ground so as not to be noticed. A couple of meters away from himself, he noticed something like a climbing rope, and looking down the chasm, discovered a small ledge in the rock and, looking closer, saw a person lying in a sniper position. Lizard lay motionless. This continued for another half hour until he heard the shot of a sniper rifle. Who the sniper killed, or if he killed anyone at all, he did not know, but this man clearly intended to get out of here as quickly as possible. He dropped the rifle into the chasm and instantly climbed up the rope and looked with surprise at Lizard lying on the ground. He was about to shoot him, but saw the epaulettes of an Earth army officer, so he simply pointed the gun in his direction.
- Who are you? – he asked.
Lizard remained silent.
- Kid, I can shoot you right now; you'd better answer. – The officer stated his name and rank. – and what the hell are you doing here?
- We were landing on the planet and came under massive shelling. My transport crashed into a mountain ridge. There was a cave, and I...
- You're lying. The front line is very far from here.
- I wandered through caves for a long time, then emerged into a gorge.
- Really? Did you encounter anything in the caves?
- Yes. There were some arachnid creatures.
- Alright kid, I believe you. Just so you know – those were only hatchlings.
A shiver ran through Lizard as he tried to imagine the adult specimens. - Hey, where are you going? – he stopped the departing man.
- I'm going to get out of here as quickly as possible, and I advise you to follow my example – after a short silence, he added – if you want to reach your own, head northeast.

Could she be your muse?!

no, she isn't.
I'd rather get involved with someone like that)

I dreamt of clouds shaped like a bone dragon. The sky was bright blue, and these clouds were gray, black, and white... They formed a dragon, or rather, half of it) It was very large.

He wanted to eat you.

No. There was some woman there looking for something and explaining the color of what she was looking for. And I pointed to the dragon and said that the color was the same, a mix of black and gray.

1. Beautifully drawn
2. And this is me.

Ah, I still have Aribeth with me... I wish there was a girl like that in real life. She's almost perfect! Smart, beautiful, kind, polite, brave, sweet, and so much more... she's like an angel :o

Interesting sequence!

Oh, and the outlet was found under the table.
Well, then everything is fine; you can sleep, read, listen to music, browse the internet, send SMS messages, be kind, and do many other things at the same time.

an interesting sequence))

I wrote it in the order the words came to mind))

I also played a bit of guitar, reminiscing about the old days, and I think I came up with a riff or something, I don't know... but it seems familiar to me))

I finally recorded it on my computer. Heh.

A very beautiful girl.

I even started sketching it) but again with a black pen, not a pencil, so I'm not editing anything, so everything is terribly crooked. And the train is shaking.

damn, I have clumsy hands. My left hand fits freely into a Pringles chips box, but my right hand doesn't.

the right one doesn't fit through.

I have an idea why the right one doesn't fit through.

changed his nickname to an English name, but uses Leslie Nielsen as his avatar. Where's the consistency?

Added 3 minutes later
Here, KOsha is great, yes. Revan is also trying to be consistent, he even changed his nickname to match his avatar.

Added 34 seconds later
In this case, it's not difficult for me either. I can use people, elves, mages... and anyone who can be called Arandor.

That's right, we need to bet on Leslie for the avatar, but not on Nilson...

and you place the white lizard.
