[QUOTE="Universal_narration, post: 6034233, member: 6699115"] The unit Starseeker is standing outside the large space lift to take them up to the first long distance exploration vessel, The Wanderer. The 100 men from Starseeker have been divided into the two teams. 50 men leading the procession, following behind them are the many skilled scientists, geologists and officers that will board the Wanderer. 50 men from Starseeker are taking up the rear of the procession. Either side of the procession there is a horde of people bidding farewell to these brave explorers. Entering the lift you here a collective sigh from the crew. Probably all for different reasons sighs of relief or possibly a sigh to calm them as they leave their home, maybe never to return. The mood feels very somber as it takes a while to finally reach the space station where the Wanderer is docked. You overhear some of the crews’ excitement, some of their doubts, some of their worries. Regardless, Starseeker stands tall and they are proud to be the rock that the others can rely on. After a little while the commodore takes position on an elevated platform so that he might be heard. Standing beside him is Bartholomew Griffiths, who you all recognize as the pilot to the Wanderer. He is unique amongst men due to his ability to control a huge amount of Paksis all at once. This is important to the function of the Wanderer as the engine is the biggest Paksis engine ever constructed. From what you know he is a little full of himself due to this perk but an approachable man nonetheless. Bart is a bit cowardly but that may be a bonus as after all, if he’s running from danger the ship is safe. The commodore then speaks out to the crowd.
