Snow walks with you down the corridor, and you both enter the lift. "Well, that probably could have gone worse." She takes a pack of cigarettes out of her pocket, seems to contemplate them for a moment, then puts them away without lighting one. "What do you think of our new Captain and his friends?"



Charo and Collin

(Roll=44)

You wander the ship for a little bit, taking lifts at random, and ending up deep in the lower decks, before finally concluding that neither of you actually have any idea where any of the onboard services are. Fortunately, there's tons of people moving through the corridors for you to ask.

The first one who stops is a rather dirty looking man wearing a mismatch of what might have been uniforms at some point, likely at least a generation or two ago. "Ayuh, there's mor'n one place fer a man to eat and drink on the Iliad, sirahs. The best fer me is the canteen just near the engineering section. It innit the best of eats, or the best of drinks, but it's my peoples, if yeh get the meanin'." He quickly scrawls down the location for you and continues on his to where ever he was going before you can ask any other questions, chuckling to himself.



The Bridge

"Undocking procedure complete." The report rings out through the bridge's comms system, taking everyone a little off-guard. Compared to the docking and undocking of the shuttle, detaching the a ship the size of the Iliad from the enormous space station was smooth and silent.

Several of the displays above the command consoles begin to light up, displaying an increase in engine power, as well as navigational readouts. Outsides of the massive viewport, you can see the stormy, paint-pallet surface of Jupiter slide in front of you as the ship begins it's turn away from the port. One of the small speakers on the Captain's chair chimes, and the voice of one of the senior lieutenants running the navigational section several floors below you crackles through. "All systems look normal, Captain. It's good to be back up and moving again. We're about an hour and a half out from reaching a safe warp distance, and we can start plotting your desired course any time."

There is a pause, and the voice adds "Unless you or one of the officers would like the honors, sir. Things have been moved around a  bit since you were last onboard, I believe. You can access most command functions from the banks on your level."
Gone. Cheers guys.
