OC post!
Avanti Kadam. Space pirate. Rebel. War hero. Savior. Traitor. Leader. She's been called a lot of things in the 34 years she has been a captain of various spacefaring warships. Someone once suggested she retire and no one ever found his body.
Originally from a Gundam AU game, but can be fitted into any setting in which battleships fire broadsides at each other, whether in space or on terrestrial oceans.

Kadam's ship, the Osiris, on which you are a crew member or possibly passenger, drifts along through the depths of space after an intense battle. The ship was more or less intact and repairs were proceeding at an acceptable rate, which gave Kadam some time with her thoughts. She stared out of the window of the officer's lounge at the stars while holding a mug of coffee which she would occasionally sip from.
She glanced over when she noticed you. "Quite the battle, wouldn't you say?"

Space battle. Things were exploding, people were dying, the numbers were against you. Yet through it all, orders continued to come down from command in a...well, not exactly a calm voice, but at voice that definitely didn't sound like it was panicking. It was a bit comforting to know that at least someone in this whole mess knew what was going on.
Your radio crackles to life with a direct transmission. "How do you feel about insane plans that might win this now or might backfire horribly?"

Kadam is from Old Money, and feels perfectly at home making small talk with the ridiculously wealthy. Her towering height, sharp uniform, and eye-patch makes her stand out from the crowd like a falcon surrounded by pigeons. At the moment she is in the middle of a small crowd of rich socialites and is sharing a story from her colorful career with them all. Apparently a story about an encounter with a band of space pirates. She finished the story up with, "So then their second in command hijacked his ship and turned tail and ran, leaving the pirate captain stranded in space in a disabled interceptor, swearing a blue streak."
There was some polite laughter, after which Kadam excused herself to get her drink refilled. Were you part of the group listening to the story? Curious about how much of it was true? Perhaps you're not used to fancy parties and want advice on which fork to use when. Maybe you just want to make small talk.
-Bonus-
Ever played a game of chicken?
Ever played a game of chicken with ten thousand ton battleships tearing eye-searing trails of light across the depths of space?

Her momentary good cheer was replaced with a frown as he pulled out his cigarettes. "Please don't smoke those in my lounge."
