After Earth - Episode II - Beyond Colonial Space.

Cnosos decides to spend the remiaining of his time in creating a body for chatty. He keeps certain that the schems don't imply weaponry, however.
The works on the engines seemed to have paid off, and slowly but constantly, the greed was beeing transformed from a pile of junk to a first tech ship. All thanks to him. Or that he thought.

Damon continues to spend his time studying the Syrran files, in between cryo, sleeping, eating and working out. In truth, there was little else to occupy his time. Sure, he would give Cnosos a hand when the engineer needed it, and cards with Pierce and Solly...but the simple truth was that space travel was extremely boring.

Still, they had secured some parts from the Syrrans, which was a good thing. And they had finally gotten rid of all that vanadium steel at Jap 1. So overall, this was a profitable trip. And that alone made Damon happy.

At some point in the journey, Solly wanders over to Pierce to check on his injury.

"Pierce, my friend," he says. "How'd you like to make medical history?"
 

Gaetanna spent most of her time reading up on the Syrran culture while playfully trying to pronounce Syrran words without slipping inter her french accent. Then, when boredom struck, she often resorted to pulling out her card computer and began reading one of the many books or vids she bought and uploaded while at port.

As the ship neared Jap 1, she decided to look up information on the base. Hopefully she would have time to explore the port and briefly mingle within the port's social network once they got there.
 

Pierce looks at Solly, then at his itching arm, then back at Solly, "You scare me sometimes, Doc." His face is impassive and serious. "What're you bandying?"
 



Mel's routine is similar to Damon's, though she doesn't go in for cryosleep much. She plays a good game of cards, and haunts engineering while Cnosos is messing with the engines, but doesn't take much interest in the robot body. The rest of the time she spends doing reading and filling out forms on her computer pad, and drawing sketches of the Syrran and unidentified ship on another pad. The sketches in particular take her hours, and aren't really all that good, though she's clearly working hard.

It's a hobby.

Anytime she's not in her cabin or the galley, she's most likely on the bridge, checking instruments or just gazing out into the infinite abyss of hyperspace.
 

After reading some information on Jap 1, Gaetanna signed and placed her data pad on top of the galley's table. She then turned on the intercom. "How long are we going to stay in port once we arrive? Are we just going to unload, try to secure another shipment then leave or what?"
 

"Most likely." replies dryly Cnosos. You hear something metallic making a deaf 'Thumb' and the man cursing in unknown languages. "Must get some order down here, someone cares to give me a hand?"
