"Good evening, this is Captain Julia Darius.  I'd like to welcome you aboard the Keruuchan, and let you know that we'll be departing as soon as I get clearance from Starport Control.  There're two sub-merch'es ahead of us, but it should only be another fifteen minutes or so.  We'd like everyone to return to their quarters and strap-in in preparation for our accelleration to escape velocity. The Percies and stewards will come around to see if you need anything and to help you stow your belongings safely.  I know that, for many of you, this will be your first taste of space travel, so if you've got any nerves you may request a sedative from any of the Percies.   "Meanwhile, let me tell you a bit more about our planned voyage.  After leaving Daramm, we expect a real smooth trip out to 100 diameters before our jump to the neighboring Tamandere system.  There, we'll take on fuel from, and drop off supplies for, a small JohnHenry outpost before continuing on to our Jump 3 trip to Dukh.  We should have you in the Capital on or before Day 205, when the Council begins. Until then, sit back and relax, and we'll see you around the ship.   "Finally, you'll note on your individual itneraries one or more Captain's Dinners.  I hope you'll take these as the personal invitations they were intended to be - they are an opportunity for me to get to know my passengers and for my passengers to get to know each other.  Plus, the chef really outdoes himself.   One more merchant vessel, and then we're cleared to depart. The bar is now closed.  Please return to your quarters and strap in." After a several more minutes, you feel the hum of the Keruuchan's conventional drives beginning to warm up.  Bilem comes to your door and confirms that everything is secured, and some time after that , the captains voice reports: "We are cleared for departure. All staterooms and cargo are secured. Take off in 5...4...3...2...1....0"  At this, the Keruchan lifts off gently.  It begins to accelerate as the ship surges toward escape velocity.  All the while, the vidscreen on the wall of your stateroom displays a emergency procedures video, including the location of the ship's lifeboats and how to reach them.  Eventually, the ship clears the planet's gravity, and cruises towards the jump point, and a few hours later, you are asked to sit down again as the ship begins to form its jump field.  You experience the momentary stoamch lurch which always accompanies the transition to jumpspace, and the voyage is truly underway. OOC:  Please include in your responses any specific actions you'd like to take  during the four or so hours before entering jumpspace, includig people you might want to speak with, etc.  Also describe how you intend to spend your days during the first jump.   For entertainment, there is a casino, as well as two lounges/restaurants.  The mid deck's restaurant us incuded for everyone, the upper deck restaurant and bar costs money.  Holovid movies can be rented from your stateroom for Cr2.50.Feel free to speak with or get to know each other, or any other people on board, whether I've named them or not yet.  There are about 50 Luriani passengers, and twenty non-Luriani.  The crew is also a majority Luriani, but just barely, and the Captain is a mixed race human.  The pro-Luriani bias is still evident on board, but definitely comes more from the native Darammis, rather than the crew (Trelene excepted, of course, depending on her attitude regaring such things <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />  Oh, and Trelene did get a nice, comprehensive tour of the ship - ask anything your like about the ship, and I let you know what you found out.).</blockquote>
