It takes little for Rasheed to compose himself however. "Nothing, nothing. Just a little something from home." Quickly checking over his instruments, he reports, "We should be at our destination in a couple of days. There are no more stops between here and the next jumpgate. Just an hour's flight after we enter the system."Alison nods as Selise speaks. "I see, well I just wanted to make sure you were alright. You're the one they wanted to hold this group together, I can't have you losing it on me. I'll leave you alone though." With that, Alison makes her way back down the corridor to the galley, where our rescuers are playing Texas Hold'em.After a few rounds of the game, Becky joins in as well. Things are going fine for a while, until it is noticed that Varn seems to be winning more than his share of games, especially since this is a Human game. Dave speaks up eventually. "I don't know about you guys, but I hope this isn't a simple rescue mission. I could use a little practice roughing up some people, know what I mean?" He pats Dobar on the shoulder. "Sure would beat hanging out in this bucket all the time. I bet there is more to this operation too. I even..." Dave McCullough stops his rant with a look from Alison. Giving her an 'I'm sorry' look, her turns back to playing cards with the group. If no one objects or has anything specific they would like to do or ask of Alison, Dave, or Rasheed, I am going to fast forward to the jump into the Levana system. I'll edit this post if that is the case.The days pass by uneventfully. Card playing being what it is, you feel you have played every game that exists and you were sure some were just made up to pass the boredom. You also know just about everything you want to know about your companions' collectibe history. Rasheed has always been a pilot, Dave's a GROPOS gone private and Alison is an ex-diplomatic attache. The others you know just about as well. The intercom chimes and Rasheed comes on. "We're ready to jump in." Alison asks each of you to join her in your makeshift briefing room, the galley."In approximately an hour, we will be arriving at Levana Four Beta. It is a desert world with no indiginous sentient species that we are aware of. However, we are in League space, so it is possible they may have an outpost down here. Note that I said possible. The Descari have a strong presence in the system, but for the most part, have left this one alone. They maintain a presence here on a small moon orbiting Levana Five, as a matter of fact, those guns are probably trained on this ship right now. Since we are not Raiders or anything, they will not fire. Hopefully.""Now this planet does have an atmosphere, but not enough to sustain life, so we will be needing to wear masks. There are a few in storage on board that I will hand out as we exit the ship. Also, just in case, there are a few weapons on board for self defense. If you brought your own, that's fine too. I'm hoping that we will not need them, but I'd rather have one and not need it than the other way around. We will be landing just outside the scientists base camp. I suggest you do whatever you need to do to prepare, we will be landing shortly. Any questions?"</blockquote>
