Shards of Memory- Prologue: Fractured Union Part II

Zaeryn:

"Yes, that's right." Alyria replies, nodding emphatically to punctuate her affirmation.

*As Zaeryn tries to spin in a loop, he manages to do so, though the Spiral Nimbus is not nimble enough, at least with Zaeryn steering it, to make one with a radius smaller than about three kilometres. Although the loop is an exciting flip for Zaeryn, as he feels himself an avatar of the ship, the others are unaffected by the change in orientation due to the subjective gravity of the ship itself.*

[SBLOCK]“Wheeee, that’s fun! I wonder what else I can do,” Zaeryn says, as he begins to steeply dive the ship prior to sliding it into a fast turn to the right descending in a spiral pattern through several revolutions, before straightening the ship up again.

OOC: I’ll assume that’s supposed to be Alyria in the first sentence.[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Zaeryn:
[SBLOCK]
*The spiral has a slightly tighter radius than the flip, but it remains more or less the same--unlike last time, where Zaeryn was fully absorbed in the exhiliration of his first manoeuvre, this time he senses that he is being aided by the sleek curves of his wooden exterior body and the crewmen manipulating the sails and fins in tandem with his desired movement.*

(OOC: Heh, yep--context clues + colour win out over what I actually wrote every time )

[SBLOCK]“I hope a sudden stop doesn’t cause too many problems,” Zaeryn says, grinning at the feel of being the ship.

*Next Zaeryn tries stopping the ship as fast as possible and then returning to maximum tactical speed, while testing the limits of the ships’ tactical capabilities under his piloting.*[/SBLOCK]

Zaeryn:
[SBLOCK]
"Nope--no trouble at all," Alyria replies, smiling brightly at seeing another's joy in feeling Spelljamming firsthand.

*Zaeryn manages to stop the ship completely in only a few seconds, accelerating up to maximum tactical speed in a similar time frame.*

"It only stops and starts so easily because your maximum tactical speed is so low," Alyria explains with a laugh, "It takes me almost twelve seconds to come to a complete stop."

[SBLOCK]*Not disappointed in the least by the fact the ship is ‘slow’ when under his control, his smile broadens as he engages in a series of tight turns pushing the ship to it’s limits under his control, and seeing how much tighter he can turn by slowing the ship.*[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Zaeryn:
[SBLOCK]
*Zaeryn finds that for every twelfth of a kilometre per second in speed, his turning radius is a little under two and a half kilometres, up to a maximum of one twelfth of a kilometre. So by moving at a speed of one kilometre per minute, for instance, the turn radius is a bit under a half a kilometre.*

[SBLOCK]“Valyssa, have you tried this before, it’s amazing...hmm, anything else you think I should try at tactical speed Lyri or should I attempt putting the ship back on course through the sphere and resume helm speed?”[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Zaeryn:
[SBLOCK]
"I've done it a time or two," Valyssa replies, watching Zaeryn at the helm with a smile.

"I don't know--you've done a lot of the fun ones already--it's okay with me either way you prefer, and just tell me when you're getting tired and I can have someone else take the helm."

[SBLOCK]*Zaeryn deciding he’s had enough fun for today with the ship, tries returning it to it’s original trajectory and engaging the full speed of the helm.*

“Well I think that’s enough for a first time Lyri, it sure was lots of fun though,” he replies, beaming as he waits for his replacement to come before vacating the helm.[/SBLOCK]
