Hildamesh followed the rest of the crew out. Before heading to the bridge for... inspection, she went in search of the craft's medical facilities ((where she totally quoted her own actions from earlier which only now seem relevant)).

Lowering herself into the chair before the terminal in the ship's medical bay, Hildamesh quickly ran through the crew profiles she could access. Nothing she hadn't come across before. The standard races for this part of the galaxy. She settled down to scan through the medical histories she could get to without making any special requests. Nothing too serious. Wounds and injuries incurred in the course of action. Nothing that would put anyone at any special risk. She was intrigued though. Why were two sections of crew profile blacked out to her?

She checked over her own profile. She noted with a wry smile that the qualifications she'd been claiming to possess for more than a decade weren't listed. Weren't as stupid as some then, these Xeroth...

Kirloc followed the captain out. "Let's see what we've got to work with."

Sarn followed the captain as well, with only seconds of hesitation. Under the helm, he kept his eyes on the Val, silently wondering if he should try a rabbit punch.

Sorry for not updating sooner.

Ciaphas follows the crew in silence, attempting to judge their character, believing that there be no point to offending anybody only for it to risk the success of the mission, of which he checked the details of once again after, as allways,  transfering the information from the flexipad he had been given onto his older data-pad which he found hadn't been taken from him. He preferred the strength of the data-pad over the flexipad something about it made it feel more reliable to him. Once this was done he dropped the flexipad on the nearest flat surface to allow somebody else to clear it up. Noting that the data pad was still with him Ciaphas checks his holster to see if his trusty side arm had been stripped from him on arrival.   

This is what happens when I forget to check the forums for a while.

You leave the briefing room and head to the docking area. On your way there you don't see anything really out of place, just a lot of security. The docking bay was divided into five levels and each had ten bays. When you got to the bay four door you met a security checkpoint. You were all identified and scanned before you could pass. Entering through the door you could see the Tycheros.

The Tycheros didn't look like a normal ship, it wasn't aerodynamical at all. The shape was blurred with all kinds of random angles, it was impossible to make out the actual shape of the ship. The ship changed shape as you started walking towards the accessway. It became a pure black cylindrical ship with two wings, it didn't seem to have any connection points on it and it was perfectly aerodynamic. Entering the ship you were greeted by two saltuing armed guards, you were lead to the command room. It was an enourmous room where the walls were covered with stations and to the center was a large holographical map of the galaxy. To the back there was an elevator and on either side of it were passages that led further into the ship.



Elipsis Glykeria Eleni III

Nearing the central console, you were approached by a young, dark-haired woman. She saluted you.

"Yeoman Williams, captain! You have a message from Armand on your terminal, welcome to the Tycheros."

She seemed very nervous and was doing her best to keep the necessary pose.



Hildamesh Gregorium

You walked with the crew till you made it to the ship and from there you made a bee-line for the medical bay. The medical bay was big and everything was white. It seemed to be state-of-the-art and doctors were going around doing their jobs. You took a seat at a terminal in the corner of the room and acessed the crew logs. You checked out the crew, but could only find out the most basic information, you just didn't have access to anything of importance. You were just accessing the captain's file when you hear somebody speak to you.

"What exactly are you doing on my computer?"

It had a thick british accent and had the sound of pure authority. You looked at the direction and could see an old man standing proudly over you. He was pretty tall and had great white hair that was carefully waxed and a well-groomed moustache. Even though he was probably well over 50 he seemed to be in excellent shape.

"I suggest you not to poke your nose where it doesn't belong, kid."

That last gobbo would stand there, missing an arm, punctured in a kidney, liver, and spleen, fading in and out of consciousness at the far end of where the drawbridge would go, and his last sight would be the drawbridge dropping down and smashing him like a bug.

God DAMN I love this game!

Elipsis sat down in her captains chair and turned to face Williams...

"Huh...Is this your first assignment, Yeoman? You seem a bit nervous."

She folded her hands and smiled.

Kirloc continued to the bridge and linked her flexipad into the ship's computer systems, downloading a schematic and any technical details that she was cleared for, to be read later, at her leisure. In the meantime, she turned her attention to the ongoing conversation and observed silently.

Sarn sat down in a chair and stretched out. He indicated the buttons.

"So which one of these blows something up?"

"Terribly sorry... I've come on board with the new captain. Hildamesh Gregorium, at your service. And you are? I wondered if you'd mind introducing me to the medical facilities...?"

For lack of anything more productive to do, Dariush went to the ship's armory. Among the high-tech blasters and bombs he could see old-fashioned swords, axes and knives. After the horrific massacre of Shnaab-Abdur, when the colonizing force was massacred by native primitives after being EMP'd by a single traitor it became standard procedure for every ship to carry at least some non-electronic weapons. Dariush stretched his arm to take a molecule-wide sword, but then thought better of it and decided to go ask th captain for permission. Who knows, maybe the whole cargo was a gift to some remote planet.

Gah, but he was bored out of his mind. He couldn't wait for the ship to set off.

((BTW, can we get some map or at least a description of the ship contents?))

I like that plan, but on the 3rd level bow there are also the Rep's quarters.

A full description of the ship rooms will come with the next update, I forgot to add them to this one.

((Question: as Rep, do I have full clearance for every area of the ship? I imagine I would need it, to do my job properly.))
