18. Earth

[Renekin Skywalker]

Movie Memorables Shipping Warehouse, Earth

As Foreman landed the ship, Tawfeek had the crew gathered, to explain everything.

"We are here in the service of the rich," He said. "The eccentric, well-paying rich. This particular client has a thing for historic works of fiction. So, he's ordered something called a -"

He pauses looking at the billing label.

"A flying De-lor-ee-an. And, since we're open to any jobs, we're taking the flying delo... Flying, with a supply shipment."

Tawfeek pauses to stifle a cough, the very existence of which he has denied since they were on Lewison's Station. Probably got it from dancing with the locals.

"One other thing about dealing with the rich and eccentric," he says. "This client has a thing for pomp and circumstance. A speech has to be recited, at the loading dock, salutes, or something. Probably be a marching band."

Tawfeek waves the paper with the speech absently as he goes over the list of what they have to do on delivery.

"Alright, if there are no questions," he said, "Stephens watch the loading. Foreman, plot a course to Asteroid B12."

McKenna was excited about seeing Earth, but hesitant at the same time to meet their perspective employers. Having taken an inventory of her supplies and hydroponics tended for the day, so she sat absently at the navigator's station. " A name like that, it sounds liike some sort of robot. If there much of a market out there for locating and delivering exotic stuff like this Dee-whatever?"

Flip says, "copy that Captain. Plotting course now," as he starts to set the course the Captain requested.

Jessica nods at Tawfeek in acknowledgement of his order and watching the loading.

"Got to love the classics. Wonder if it actually flies."" Mengsk adds as he observed the loading of the flying Deloreon. It seemed some folks still lived like it was from the old days. then made way for the engines.

[dakota]

"Classics?" McKenna looked over at Mengsk as he headed for the door. "What exactly is a Delariat?

[Renekin Skywalker]

On the Bridge

"Deloriyan," Tawfeek corrected them. "I think it's some kind of flying time-travelling car that goes into the past, then the future, and yo-yo's like that until it gets smashed up. I read about it in an article about morality of new technologies. I think it made the kid age 10 years in the space of a week."

He covered up another cough.

"As for clients like these, sure, we can get rich with them," He said. "But, we would need to show up in bear suits, and other crap. I'm only taking this one because we need the cash."

[dakota]

" A time traveling car?" McKenna let out a snort as she snickered, quickly covering her mouth in embarrassment. Muffled by the handle, she replied," You aren't serious? someone really invented something like that?"

[kurff]

"Not time traveling." he smirked, "Not until we can control the energies of a sun and travel the speed of light with out hyperspace or space folding accurately." Mengsk adds, "and for the record we do travel in time, only one way and its to future. Or so I was told by my science teacher. As for that flying car concept there was one or two of them."

"of course they had issues of safety."

The Bridge

"It was all fiction," Tawfeek said. "Don't ask me why anyone wants to go trapsing around some asteroid on a car with almost no life suopport is beyond me."

Foreman found the asteroid simply enough. The descripion shows a landing area underneath the castle.

In the hold/viewing area

As Jessica overaw the loading, first came on a number of food and supplies. Then, the crate for the main order, all labelled and such.

"Here ma'am," Said the lead loader. "Need ya to sign here. And watch out this guy. He likes things in the right order."

[dakota]

McKenna propped her head up with one hand as she leaned on the console. With nothing she had to be doing, it made for boring time aboard ship, especially when the others were all busy.

[Mierin]

Jessica takes the pad she needs with a polite smile. Quickly checking the list and the inventory in front of her to make sure everything was accounted for, Jessica signs the order once she's ascertained everything with the order is fine. When she's told to keep everything in order, Jessica inquires "Oh? How picky is he?"

"You know, Captain. its all about style and some folks live in the past. Personally I'd like his liscense for that thing.." Mengsk joked as he read the engine read outs via hand computer and checked the connections asmade his way to the first engine room. He kept his comms active just incase.

"I'll have some added holds put in for the car in bay in case we need to dodge asteroids getting there." the engineer grinned at Jessica's initial snort and response.[rand=3257761264404054728221224122206645824434954361687944148555127155]

Foreman notes the landing area and takes the ship in. Touching down he finalyzes the landing and then pushes back from the controls stands and stretches. "Captain can I go refill my coffee while they load, and then I will plot the next destination," he picks up his empty cup and waves it at Tawfeek.

" I could get it." McKenna offere." I'm not doing anything else right now. Cap, you want anything?"
