After Earth - Episode II - Beyond Colonial Space.

Solly looks about him approvingly as he climbs aboard the Greed. He says nothing as he stows his kit-bag, gives a brief look-over the facilities and straps himself in for take-off, all the while whistling a jaunty tune (Lillibulero).

Damon examines the star maps and sighs. "Looks like we're in for a long haul on this one," he says quietly. "We'll definitely be using the cryo-units."
 

"You know meatbag, I have been reviewing your ship's systems. They are unoptimised and inefficient. Why haven't you done anything about it?"
"That's because I've been busy with other things. I'll check things up once we've take off. If you prefere, you could point out the things you think need optimization. I could get you into Dorb, so you can fly along, and bother the other meatbags, and let me finish the preflight checks. " the man says, still calibrating the engines, as he does so.
 

Pierce drops his dufflebag in front of his cryobed and leaves the room without pomp or circumstance. He moves throughout the Greed, refamiliarizing himself with the layout and the quickest way to the weapons. One might think he was checking the walls for pin-holes, anything that might explode open in a vacuum and force his brain to be sucked out of his head. He makes it to the bridge and pushes past Solly and Gaetanna like they weren't even there.
 

Gaetanna sat down in one of the seats and began to mess around with the ship's sensors*. "I can't believe this! It looks like my grandpa told the attendant to wait until the ship took off!"



* OOC: Taking a 10 w/ Computer Use +3.
 

"Yes, I'll do that." Cnosos states, and opens the comlink "I must take a moment away from the engines, preflight check must wait 15 minutes, please stand by." After that, the greek takes a few tools. He calls for Dorb to get close, and plugs him into the computer. Opening the driod's pannel, he takes a moment to configurate it. "That should do. Can you hear me droid? The sensors should be working right by now"

Computer use +9
Craft (electronic) +10
Knowledge (technology) +10
Repair +11

Take 20 in any roll neccesary.
 

Mel mutters something cursey under her breath and puts the preflight on hold so Cnosos can do his thing. "Damnit..."

She glances back and spies Gaetanna fiddling with instruments. "What do you think you're doing there?"
 

Gaetanna smiled. "Just checking what what comm-channel this ship's sensors uses for output so that I won't have to wait for my legs to start working to know what's going on if I'm sudently taken out of cryo-sleep." This of course, was a half truth.

The inertial dampeners did their best to fight the shock of breaking the gravity of the base but inside it still felt like your teeth would shatter if you'd let them clatter together. Then suddenly nothing... The gravity just gave up its grip and you were on your way.

Soon Mel can switch the ship to autopilot as everything seems to be in order. It'll be almost a day again until you reach the jumpgate that lies on the outer edge of the system. There's good time for the new crewmembers to get used to the ship.

The droid waits patiently until the ship is on its way and then starts his chatter up again. "I do have few minor suggestions actually if you don't mind." The screen infront Cnosos flares with dozen or so schematics of different parts of the engine systems, and also a scheme for a crude droid chassis.
 

Solly finally opens his eyes after keeping them tight shut during take-off, and pries his hands from the arm rests.

"I don't seem to ever get used to that part," he mutters. "Is there anything like coffee on this ship, Damon?" he asks. "And then, I 'spose I'd better have a look at the cryo-berths. I'm sure Cnosos has done a sterling job of maintaining them, but I think I'm supposed to do a preparatory scan, or something like that." He shrugs, and flashes a sheepish grin.
