"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.[sblock=OOC]I know what you mean, and they're similarly named ships as well, let alone the whole "rescue in hyperspace" scenario![/sblock]</blockquote>
