"No problem." He said drinking some blood from each of them.
6 eff in Blood Drain split 3/3/3 to drink from them.
---------------------
"Good work everyone... Set a course for... well anywhere uncharted likely to contain uninhabited planets." He said.
10 in VO.

Drinking blood from each of the trio, Travis learned of their respective abilities, although he didn't get much in terms of new powers.
Naruko was a former Celestial Warrior of the god Suzaku, and wielded the power of formidable, superhuman strength and resilience. Naturally, the vampire god was WAY stronger and tougher, so that was basically a drop in an ocean for him.
Elliot was a superhumanly skilled martial artist who had downright learned "Anime-style Martial Arts", along with ki, special attacks and the like, but also a relatively new magic user of a different, more personal form of magic: namely, the user would learn a single spell, use it several times, gain a new one related to the first, use them several times, gain a new one related to the second and a bit to the first, and so on, slowly developing their particular, personal form of magical progression. Sometimes such a user could develop different spells depending on events or out of necessity in their life.
In her case, she had originally been able to transform into a girl, able to change proportions, color, length and style of hair, and even clothes and basic accessories. She later got a spell to turn into a 'Superheroine' girl, which caused her to look like a cheerleader - she'd called it 'Cheerleadra', and gain various powers such as flight, even more superhuman abilities, rapid healing and cold resistance among others. More recently, she had gained a spell allowing her to see and analyze magic.
Now, again, those were all things Travis was already quite capable of... although he did gain a new spell of his own. (OOC: Gain 20w to be used on any new magical action/modifier to reflect that. Typically it should have some sort of connection to the kind of person he is, but let's face it, he can do almost anything, so I'd say whatever you feel like taking could work.)
Finally, Bonnie was just a normal human with a good head on her shoulders, a solid skill at aiming, shooting and riding, and experience at working on a ranch.
"Yes, sir", Bright said as the ship quickly took off and left the Earth's atmosphere quickly, leaving it and the moon quickly behind... before making a Grav Jump out of the known systems!

He then knocked them all onto the couch, and well...
50 sup-eff in PM split 34/33/33 vs the three beings.
-----------------------
"Excellent work... I'll be examining the rest of the ship, call for me if something happens." He ordered heading to the storage area to check on the grunting cat that was his quarter master.

Not quite surprisingly... his massage basically K.O'd both Elliot and Bonnie right there and then. Nuriko was... technically still conscious. In practice, she was a babbling, disoriented, dishevelled mess in his hands.
He found Neco-Arc struggling to move crates of supplies around while several of the marines were giving her a hand (or rather taking care of most of the crate-moving themselves, which was probably for the best).

He gave them time to recover as he relaxed in between them.
----------------------
"Bubbles, how is it going? We have everything we need?" He asked her.

It took a while - less so for Nuriko - but soon enough, both she and Elliot were awake and aware. If they waited for Bonnie to come to, it took a good hour of rest before she opened her eyes.
"Un, un, un!" she let out, vigorously nodding so hard Travis couldn't help but wonder if her head would come off. Which he interpreted as 'we're doing perfectly fine though we could use more snacks for hunger fits between meals'.
(OOC: I know she doesn't normally speak per se, but it would be highly impractical not to have her be able to for the rest of the crew, even if Travis can understand her unique "speech pattern" with his abilities. Thoughts?)

"Understood." He said. "I'll work on installing a couple dispensers next time we arrive home." He said. "For now, we can make due with these." He said producing a bunch of candy bars.
6 sup-eff in Mastery of Matter to create a bunch of candy bars for the crew to snack on between meals when needed.
--------------------
He waited with Nuriko's feet in his lap slowly rubbing them.
4 sup-eff in PM on her.

"Un-un-un!" she let out with enthusiasm, which Travis understood as her offering her full support in the plan, and her gratitude over his temporary measure. Or something along those lines. She proceeded to quickly gather and pick up the candy bars to bring them over to the supplies shelves.
"Oooohhh, that feels... amazing...♥" Nuriko let out in bliss.
A while later, Bonnie finally blinked awake.

"Welcome to the family." He said kissing each of them.
----------------------
He carefully proceed to his room just to lie down and wait until they touched down a planet or ran into an enemy ship or something.

"Y-Yeah... thanks", Bonnie stammered cutely.
"Yep", Naruko said a bit more eagerly, kissing him back.
About an hour passed, at which point Polnareff knocked at the door of his room. "Monsieur Howlet? You will probably want to see this. We've... sort of encountered a ship."

He cuddled with them a bit more before summoning Gillian to provide them lodgings and clothes.
At which point he went to find Xenobia locating the cloned exorcist in a black shin-length pleated dress, white thin jacket, and matching black pumps-
-----------------------
He nodded and proceeded to the bridge. "Status report."

-heating up water for some hot cocoa.
"Hm? Oh, hey", she said a bit absent-mindedly.
"We have encountered an unidentified ship of colossal size, sir", Bright said. "They do not respond to hails, haven't attempted to scan us nor reacted to our scans."
Looking over to the front window, he could see a gigantic, sinister shadow drifting slowly through space, illuminated here and there by various breaches in its hull, some of which seemed to be on fire, others seemingly leaking energy. Its impulse engines were active, but moving slowly, clearly in no hurry whatsoever.
"Whoever they are, they're operating without radiation shielding and an unstable core, multiple sections of the ship lack life support. You'd have to be completely insane to travel inside that thing for any extended period", Forge said, frowning.
...A Space Hulk.

"Hey hon... Something upsetting you?" He asked wrapping his arms around the shorter woman.
--------------------------
"Time to harvest some resources." He smirked.
120 stones in Starborn to stealing as many resources from the Space Hulk as I can. 10 stones in control to not flood my own ship with relatively useless junk.

"Ah... not really... nothing major. Not sleeping too well lately", she said, kissing him affectionately. "How are you doing?"
Using his powers, he gained a lot of Helium-3 and nuclear rods aplenty to power his ship's impulse and grav drives. He got tons of rare and valuable metals, including a large quantity of Necrodermis. He recovered a LOT of food and drinkable water, and a bunch of weapons and ammo... Ork weapons and ammo.

"Fine... Just a bit bored." He said ruffling her hair.
-----------------
"Okay... I think that's about all we need for now." He said. "Move along."
