Ash nodded. At Croft, at Cheshana...at everyone.
"All right. Vurk, stay in communication with Cheshana to get this docking done. However you two want to do it is fine. Croft, lets find this relic so we can all get on the ship that actually still works. Then we can find out what a Drazi was doing on an old abandoned Markab ship."
She heads off the bridge towards the crew quarters to resume the quest. Room by room if need be.

Easy, no. But possible. Sarhat answers to the markab and opens comm again. Vurk, full stop and hope that the currents don't smash us together. Lucky we are not very far from the gate. Beacon is still strong. Waiting for the Fortune to come to stop he turns again to Cheshana. I am not sure this ship can survive the trip back to civilisation. I suggest we take the Fortune once those two find the artefact and leave this ship for the hyperspace.
Once Vurk has stopped the Fortune, Sarhat will try to dock the two ships together.
[sblock=OOC]Dammit! I keep writing Greed when talking about the ship
. Lets see how long it takes until I start referring the real Greed as the Fortune in AE [/sblock]

Before Croft and Ash leave the bridge, Cheshana hands them his Abbai-made datapad.
"Here," he says, bringing up some diagrams. "This have map of ship, here where we think talisman is. And here is picture of it so you know when see.".
Whilst the two telepaths search the ship, Sarhat, Vurk and Cheshana begint he delicate procedure of docking. Under Sarhat's guidance, Vurk brings the Fortune to a full stop. Then it is a matter for first spinning the Lashaiaj at exactly the same speed counter to the rotating sections, so that these are held stable relative to the Fortune. Difficult, but not too hard since the ship is mostly fly-by-wire and the Markab computer calculates the necessary adjustments. Kirth keeps an eye on the damaged maneuvre drive but the tiny bursts of thruster fire place little strain on the system.
Finally the piloting team are rewarded with a gentle "Clung!" as the two ships touch together. Vurk magnetises the landing gear on the Fortune and extends the docking collar.
Whilst this is going on, Ash and Croft find the talisman that they are looking for. Finally, it would seem, the mission is over.
Cheshana looks across to Sarhat. "You get your people onto your ship. I stay here until all across to make sure we not lose position," he says with a small smile.

I know what you mean, and they're similarly named ships as well, let alone the whole "rescue in hyperspace" scenario!

Sarhat glances at Cheshana curiously but shrugs of the suspicion. Opening communications he tells the plan to others. Ashley, Croft if you have found the artefact, head back to Fortune. Same for you Kirth, we don't need you here anymore. I'll be there soon. He opens the straps keeping him in the helm and pushes out. Keep the ships steady, I'll signal you when I have the Fortune. He tells Cheshana. He looks at the children and sighs. He didn't really know how to deal with this. Alright. Follow me. We go to our ship.
"Ash here. We have the talisman." She gives Croft a nod.
"We're heading for the airlock now."
She makes good on her report, turning around and heading for the other end of the ship. As she does she remarks to Croft,
"I thought our last mission, where we got pinned down by assassins on a docking platform, was the craziest one ever. Guess the mountain has a new king. Lets get outta here before anything else happens."

Cheshana touches Sarhat's arm as he passes, gently asking him to wait. He meets Sarhat's eyes.
"Captain Sarhat," he says with difficulty. "I think you guess my intentions. Everyone I ever know or love is dead. Your people have way, you call "going to the sea of stars". This I...." he trails off. "When time comes, Captain, I ask you do as I wish. All data need by the humans is on datapad. I give to Mr. Warren, he like it for his solitaire." Cheshana gives a small, sad smile. "I hope humans not suffer same fate as my people. Good luck."
