A mix of fear and nervous excitement radiates from the Ensorrians.The command section of the Markab liner is in the non-rotating core. Access is via the transport tube system, and you feel the pseudo-gravity fade away to nothing as the tube reaches your destination. Since the Fortune has no artificial gravity (highly primitive in the eyes of Sarhat and Croft), you are used to the sensation, if not necessarily comfortable with it. Only Sarhat moves with grace and ease as you pull yourselves along the hand-holds to the bridge.The heavy-duty hatchway to the bridge hangs open, rocking ever so slightly under the action of the rotating section and its counterweight. Inside is a strange sight, and Cheshana makes a shocked sound. The Ensorrians give off a pulse of terror.Monitor lights indicate that the ship's systems are still functional, and seem to be within safe parameters - there are no blaring warnings or the like. But in the centre of the bridge somebody has assembled bones, skulls and wiring into a macabre sculpture, a memento mori composed of dead Markab. The bones are scraped clean, bound together by parts of the ship and stacked in the centre of the bridge. [sblock=OOC]Untrained Pilot check, Take 10 = 11 for Kirth performing a "Return to Base" maneuvre (DC 10).Computer Use 18+9+2 for Kirth to access central core.Finally found a good resolution picture of the Kar'Ti (from Confessions and Lamentations). The Lashaiaj is simialr design, but the inner part is smaller than the outer prongs. The bridge is where all the lights are at the middle front.[/sblock]<img src="http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/babylon5/images/6/6a/Kar%27ti-01.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /></blockquote>
