Not too long after David arrives, Roland, Alison and Dave McCullough make their way into the docking bay. "Ah, so you are early. I like that, have you met Miss Keller yet?" Roland then indicates the person sitting over on the crate. "I guess not. Well you have a long trip ahead of you. We'll wait here until the others arrive." Not long after he finishes that sentence, Geoff, the security officer arrives. Followed later by Dobar and Selise. Eventually, after Roland gets impatient, looking at his watch numerous times, Varn arrives with thirty seconds to spare.
"Well, now that you are all here. I wish you good fortune and please, try to bring the scientists home safely." With that, he gives a few final instructions to Dave and Alison, then leaves. Mr. McCullough then quickly gets everyone aboard and strapped in. "Remember, there's no gravity on this bucket, so when you get up, make sure you hold on to something." Once everyone is aboard and strapped in the gallery, Dave addresses all of you. At the same time, you can feel the ship begin to lift off.
"Alright, there are ten rooms on this ship, so there is plenty for each of us with one left over. We can use that one to bring the scientists back in, as well as store any extra equipment we may find. Once we enter hyperspace, feel free to find your way to your rooms. I'll be floating around here somewhere if you need help." Not too long after he finishes, you can feel the pull of acceleration as a bright yellow light flashes outside the ship. Through the one port window, you can see the stars and then the yawning gateway of the jumpgate. Within moments, you are in the swirling reds and blacks of hyperspace.
