Shards of Memory- Prologue: Fractured Union Part II

"Oh, it's easy. Just sit in the helm, and you will become aware of the ship as the helm attunes itself to your brain patterns, siphoning off arcane power as it flows within you." Alyria instructs with the air of a professor.

[SBLOCK]“Okay, that is easy,” Zaeryn replies, as he sits in helm, feeling a little vulnerable as the helm starts to drain his power for the first time.[/SBLOCK]

"Yes, it is deceptively easy to learn, but tricky to master," Alyria replies with a wink.

*As Zaeryn sits down in the helm, he suddenly gains an awareness of the entire ship, as if it was his body, seeing Wildspace spreading out all around him like a soft inky cloak as he soars through the stars at millions of kilometres per hour. At the same time, he feels the arcane energies spreading through his fleshy body and into his wooden exterior, not drained away at all but ever-present, though transferring itself the moment it appears.*

[SBLOCK]“Now what Lyri? I don’t want to do something stupid and throw someone overboard!”[/SBLOCK]

Zaeryn:
[SBLOCK]
"Just keep on sailing through the stars at the current trajectory" Alyria urges, shooing the girl who had been previously sitting on the helm out of the room for the moment, "That's it--good! And if you want to try some fancy manoeuvres, just imagine as if you were performing them with your new wooden body, and it should work."

(OOC: Hey, I finally bridged the Morrus--Darkness gap! There's not another one of those until Joshua Dyal--Thanee)

[SBLOCK]*Not trying anything too fancy to start with, Zaeryn begins to slowly move the ship left and then right bringing it back to it’s original trajectory.*

“I assume this is the helms' natural speed, as it definitely seems a little fast for tactical maneouvres.”[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Zaeryn:
[SBLOCK]
"Yes, that is correct. At tactical speed, you would barely be able to manage 300 kilometres an hour, though you could perform fancier manoeuvres--I wouldn't suggest anything too spectacular though, as there's only so much that the Spiral Nimbus can manage."

[SBLOCK]“At this speed I wouldn’t want to try anything too sudden, I imagine I might tear the ship apart...so what can I safely try at this speed?”

OOC: That’s my entire goal in your games...to get your post count to the top...yep that’s it...no other motive what-so-ever. [/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Zaeryn:
[SBLOCK]
"Err, just straight, actually--I assumed if you wanted to try something interesting, you'd slow to tactical speed...Actually, I'm fairly sure there's a safeguard in the helm that prevents you from doing otherwise," she winks.

(OOC: Wow, how very 'selfless' of you All these hours spent posting just to help my postcount)

[SBLOCK]“Ah, that makes more sense, so at this speed I can only make simple course corrections I guess,” Zaeryn says, as he tries slowing the ship to tactical speed and attempts to perform a loop.

OOC: Yes that’s me selfless, absolutely nothing in it for me. [/SBLOCK]
