[QUOTE="lonesoldier, post: 3287569, member: 31189"] Ackland glowers for a moment, but decides it's not Andrew's fault and lets him by. Once Andrew moves away John is able to try his luck with the terminal. After a few errors he manages to get into a simple command prompt. The AI, Hope, prints a few lines. [i]"I've been asleep too, I did not see you there."[/i] [i]"I'm noticing some errors. I don't think my circuitry has degraded, it's all solid-state and ceramic-encased,"[/i] the AI continues writing. "Hello?" Hope says, sounding slightly static-y. It makes a noise akin to someone clearing their throat, "Inter-ship communication grid is now active." It's vaguely unnerving, you know it's a limited-AI, but it sounds almost human. The lights slowly bloom back into existence and the doors to the main module slid open, revealing the others. "The main module is a weightless environment," it reminds. The main module isn't meant for a lot of traffic. It simply houses the bridge at the front, the engines at the back (The only non-modular parts) and has many connectors to the other modules. The main module and the other people in different modules, look like they are spinning. Ackland puts a hand on Lem's shoulder, "You got point then." [COLOR=Sienna]----[/COLOR] Hurst slams her first against the screen, the holographic image shuts off as her hand passes through the field and reappears when she removes it. "Something about it being busy..." she says, "It's too early for things to be messing up." Just then Hope's voice comes in through the grid. "Hello?" "Inter-ship communication grid is now active". The lights fade back in, and the doors slid open with a near-silent hiss, as do the other three modules'. Hurst is the first out, grabbing a hold of the hand-bars set in the wall of the main module to pull herself into the weightless environment. [COLOR=Sienna]----[/COLOR] Aside from the hand-bars, the walls of the MM are adorned with the occasional terminal (replicas of the terminals in the hibernation modules). The building material is the same throughout the ship, though this polymer seems slightly soft, forgiving if you cannot stop yourself with a hand-bar. Ackland drifts into the MM and looks down both directions. "Alright, here's what's going to happen, formalities later. Team Beta, I want you to check the engines, then sweep the habitation block and finally storage. Captain Hurst, you are with Team Beta. Go now." Six women (including Hurst) and one guy begin making their way toward the main body of the ship. "Zhou and Smith, I want to you to suit up and check the Starhawks. Stay together." A man and woman (Ashley would recognize them, they are fellow pilots) move toward the rear as well. "That leaves you six, Team Alpha, and myself. We are going to the bridge to reactivate all the systems, run some scans and make sure we are in the right system. Sergeant Sobieski, lead the way." [/QUOTE]
