Calculate energy/fuel costs for this voyage, tell Clara III to locate nearby deposits of antiplatinum for refueling.  Best to have that wrinkle at least thought of.

"It will cost 350 trillion Urists, or 17.5% of our fuel, to escape The Plane of Blood's gravity well. We will coast for the following billion miles. If you are concerned about fuel, you will be able to gather more once you get to region 901. Ordinary platinum can be converted into anti-platinum by the drive. Other materials can be substituted as well, but platinum is the most efficient material that my drive can process."

It time for our flight, hopefully there will be snacks and an inflight movie otherwise this'll be a boring flight.

"It is recommended that you stay in stasis for most of the trip. There is a limited supply of foodstuffs available in storage."

I guess that means we should probably take the skeletons out and get into the stasis things.

We probably want to confirm there is a class B gate at region 901 we can use to disembark.

But assuming that little detail is covered, let's get rid of the skeletons and warm up the drives.

Ask if the stasis pods are all still capable of supporting us for the duration of the voyage.

The skeletons in the chairs meant to keep things alive have me concerned.

I believe the ship confirmed earlier that the pods will keep us alive long enough to go anywhere.

Yep, the bodies have been there for a while. Millenia. I think a month will be fine

"Engage"

The ship begins to vibrate. Clara III says, "Ready for launch in T minus 180 seconds."

We probably want to confirm there is a class B gate at region 901 we can use to disembark.

But assuming that little detail is covered, let's get rid of the skeletons and warm up the drives.

"There are three class B gates on region 901. In fact, one of them is located in Cityshanks."

You say, "Perfect!" as you climb down the ladder. John and Mathias have piled up the bones in the middle of the room and strapped into the pods. The tiger is also in one of the pods but it looks uncomfortably squished.

"Clara, can you get rid of the bones somehow?" you say as you pick up the skull you held earlier. "Except for this one."

"Certainly." she says and the bones dematerialize. You place the skull back into its pod and strap it in place. You then hop into the remaining pod. The seat conforms to your body. You strap in and await the launch.

o/ question

Once we are there, how do we get back onto the ship? Do we walk back through this "gate" or do we need to have some kind of communicator/com badge/dimensional cell phone macguffin?
