3. The Moon - Mare Imbrum

[Renekin Skywalker]

(McKenna)
After a while, the conversation dies down to just the thrum of the machine, which is more felt through the floor than heard. "So... Come to the moon often?" Asks the tech.

(Foreman)

Foreman slips into a happy nap with dreams of beaches and young people swimming.

(Mensk)

The air is visibily clearing out in the hallway, due to the suctions.

(Jessica)

The men heft their gear and dutifully follow her around to the guest rooms. "A bit tight, aren't they?" One says. "But, I guess they'll do. When will the captain have time for us? We need to review the docking procedures." The others, probably subordinates, but definitely willing to let the first do the talking, all ease by into the rooms.

McKenna fought back the urge to roll her eyes at the old pick up line," no, not really. Never left Freedom muchuntil I signed on. Now I go where the captain finds us work."

[kurff]

"Captain Mengsk here, I have to talk to the Tech team supervisor about what needs to be done. While the weapons officer and I could handle it our selves a team could make it go faster. Its mostly standard servicing and minor repairs." he radioed watching the smoke clear.

(McKenna)
"Oh." Says the tech, picking up the tone a little, realizing after the fact it sounded wrong. "No, nothing like that. I just mean, my cousin's trying to open an amusement park, so I was just seeing how much freebooters come through. Freebooters tend not to unless on business, through."

The large item in the hold loomed with heavy shadows in the awkward silence.

The machine's tone changed, felt by the rumble. "Alright. It's done." says the tech next to Mckenna. "Pull her out!" Facing McKenna, he says, "Have a safe fligh, miss. Come back soon."

And the team lugg the equipment out.

"How are we doing, doc?" Tawfeek comms.

(Mensk)
"You're the tech team right now. Focus on us getting in the air and to the next destination, and we'll talk after that." Tawfeek answered.

Soon, the wind stopped, and the air looked much cleaner.

(Foreman)
"OK, Foreman." Says Tawfeek. "Get us to Euro Station, German wing, then we'll find a place to relax."

[dakota]

" Oh, hey that sounds kinda like fun. Mebbe I'll check it out if we ever do a layover for repairs." McKenna replied after she realized her mistake. As the techs were packing up, she gave the one who she had talked with a thumbs up," Thanks guys."

Keying the comm, she replied," Perfect timing Cap. They're just packing up."

[Dome]

Foreman startles awake as the captain says his name. He rubs his eyes as he listens to the instructions. "Yes sir, just give me a minute to plot the course." Foreman turns to the computer systems and begins working out the course needed to get to the German Wing of Euro Station.

Mengsk looked over the system, he could divert power from the main engines to side thrusters if it as spread out. But they lose maneuvering they'd be screwed. Best idea was to lower the power going to the engines. That way it wouldn't overheat as quickly.

Flying time in space wouldn't be any slower. Engines could be used to boost speed if they were needed to beat gravity wells.

"Understood, I should have them up in a few minutes...Mengsk out." he replied.

Jessica nods to the man with a polite smile and says "I'll talk to the captain and see that he frees some time in his schedule at the first opportunity. If you'll excuse me." Jessica leaves to go and find Tawfeek.

[Renekin Skywalker]

(On the bridge)
Foreman sees that Moon base has given them a go signal.

(In the engine rooms)
The engines are running nice and happy for the time being.

(Back on the bridge)
Jessica enters to find Tawfeek there.

(McKenna)
The doc finds herself alone again in the hanger bay, with the doors closing, and the giant majigger they're transporting tethered in front of her in low-G.

[dakota]

" Good, now I can get out of this damned suit." McKenna sputtered and started back to return the suit to where she had gotten it.

[Dome]

Foreman begins preflight as he sees they have the green light to depart. He says, "Captain, we have a go from Moon Base. Ready to leave when you give the word."

Once the captain gives the word Foreman moves the ship up and away from the station and maneuvers it towards the travel lanes.

[Mierin]

Walking up to the Captain, Jessica tells him, "Our guests would like to speak with you at your first opportunity in regards to the docking procedures."

[Renekin Skywalker]

Everyone feels the motions as the Galaxy shifts into gear and leaves the moon. Looking out a window, if possible, would show the grey orb starting to shrink, quickly.

"Everyone, this is the Captain. We have 8 hours until we reach Euro." Tawfeek's voice says over the com.

(On the bridge)
Foreman finds everything going well, allowing him to enjoy the sight out in front of him of the Earth.

Tawfeek nods to Jessica. "Of course. Make sure Foreman doesn't crash into anything."

(McKenna)
Got the suit away fine, and found herself with 8 hours until the next port.

(New chapter coming soon!)

[Mierin]

Jessica smirks at Tawfeek and nods. "I'll do my best." she replies as she turns to watch the Earth as they get closer to it.
