Posted November 7th, 2007 04:25 PM IP  "It's sad that this isn't one of the old designs. For our species, they all have Milky Way maps programed in since we came from there, and our navigators have a senimental attachment to it. For now just put it on sensor mapping. That way it will make us a map." She talked while she re-programed the ship for the up-grades she had given it. The panel glowed and a hum emitted from the engine. She checked over the communicatoins and wired herself to it, inserting the earphone into her ear and putting the mic into her mouth in it's apropriate place. "All systems check Captian Spyre. Ready to hover?" Aussi longtemps que je peux marcher par la nature, je survivrai. As long as I can walk through nature, I will survive.

Posted November 7th, 2007 04:38 PM IP  Mua had been listening to the story the whole time, and racked her brain for old myths about the planet earth. She had come up with nothing, when she remembered her degree in mythology of old planets and civilizations. He tapped the neck ring and looked into the field of information in front of her eyes. She plugged in a few search terms and found it. Earth, she read to herself, is a planet of old, containing the relics of the human race, being the most delicate and newest race to come into existence, Mua nodded. It made sense. I have a lot of cool chars. Check my thread.

"Long story", he said in response to Zap's question. He turned the ship upwards and took off, towards Calypso's ship. He pressed a small key that released a small tracker that landed on Calypso's ship. "Was it red, green, red or green, red green"-Scorch

Posted November 7th, 2007 05:10 PM IP  Mua looked at the girl, and wondered. "Where are you from?" she asked, remembering Skiv as a slang in one of her old classes. There was not much to wonder about. Not on this planet at least. I have a lot of cool chars. Check my thread.

Posted November 7th, 2007 06:50 PM IP  Spyre took a pair of black gloves out and put them on. "Info, which will only work with this ship and me. As long as I live, only i have access to everything in here. It includes routes to everywhere--including where i think to find Earth." Climbing into the cockpit, he continued. "Everybody buckle up. I drive fast, and we need to leave, Incase you've forgotten. Now, these controllers here are what I use for manual control. You may note they are the most used place in this ship. If you have anything you wish to store in the cargo bay, be my guest."
Quickly he typed some short commands. The doors began to close, and paths to the Andromeda galaxy popped up on Navigation. "Has everybody introduced themselves? I'm Spyrador S. Sputnik. Call me Spyre if you want. I'm human, and my dream is to find Earth." Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

Posted November 7th, 2007 06:58 PM IP  ((Not MY ship. Spyre's.)) "Halaan," Cal answered Mua. "But I've been livin' here since I was bitty. Why?" She cocked her head at Spyre. "Well, if ya wanna get fancy, I'm Calypso. Don' gotta last name. I'm a feral..." she wracked her brains for more interesting information about herslef. "I've had a record with the cops since I was three, and i can drive a cruiser like nobody's business." ((Not that it was ever her cruiser... see statement about cop cars. This is how she knows.))

Posted November 7th, 2007 07:00 PM IP  "Ah, yes. Halaan. I want there once. Much less polluted than here." The engine fired up smoothly, hardly making a sound. "Everybody ready?" Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

"Homing, mental interfaces... You really lucked out with this one, Roland." Zap examined the interior, running an experienced hand over the new technology. "Almost makes me feel bad about us taking it."
The co-pilot's seat was soon occupied. "Not that much, though. Let's get 'em." I don't care what everyone says about me as long as it isn't true - Capote

Posted November 7th, 2007 07:58 PM IP  Mua sat down in a seat. "I see," she said. She then clicked her database again. She combed over the articles, and picked out a bit. "You know," Mua said, softly, "I know that Geneci was as bad as you say," she said. She was connecting, but then remembered. "Oh, wait! I need to go back to my pod!" I have a lot of cool chars.

Posted November 7th, 2007 09:19 PM IP  " Hey Spyre, I think if Mua wants to go to her pod, we can just eject her out of the cargo bay, without ever really going completely down." Shffsh had her hands full, since the moment the ship had fired it's engines, the airpolice wanted to know who they were. She was getting a headache from not calling them thiefs or illegal spacetravel in any way while still telling the truth. She finally got a all clear status from the AP's. Smiling she sat back in her chair; relaxed but wary of any need to use her Engineering board. Aussi longtemps que je peux marcher par la nature, je survivrai.

Posted November 8th, 2007 04:39 PM IP  ((YOU'RE Katon???)) "Sure, just who? I don't want you talking to any officials, since I just spent a good 5 minutes convincing them we have an acceptably trained navigator on board. I would have wasted my time." Shffsh pulled out the secondary radio, but kept close to her, wanting an answer.

Posted November 8th, 2007 04:41 PM IP  "Yes." He replied to Cal's question. "You'll have to do it as we take Mua to her pod. Be quick, Mua. We don't have much of a shield against this downpour, the gas might explode at any moment. And i didn't like the look of that thing in the atmosphere earlier..." Spyre lifted off, running a final checklist of all systems and finding no problems.
"Where we were earlier?" he asked Mua. Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

Posted November 8th, 2007 06:02 PM IP  Cal picked up the radio and adjusted the tuner until she found the right station. "Lack, you there?" The were scrambling sounds from the other end, and someone picked up the set. "Cal? What're you doin' on a 'fficial station?" The male voice on the other end was young and anious. "You're not on a cop ship, are you?" She laughed. "No cop'd ever catch me, skewie. I just wanted to tell ya guys I'm leaving."
"What? Caaaaal-iie! You can't just leave!"
"Watch me, Lack. Tell boss I'm off, willya?"
"But- but you're our best-!" She turned the radio off with a click. "Okay, I'm set." Underground keeper of the keyboard of stuck vowel keys.

Posted November 8th, 2007 06:19 PM IP  Spyre blinked at the quickness, then took the radio back and set to work on the ship. In a moment, they were at Mua's home. "Here. Make it fast." Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

Posted November 8th, 2007 07:34 PM IP  Shffsh had been listening to the radio when Cal used it, and was suprised by the voice on the other line. "Oh. Your THAT Cal. You know, the Trickster's not going to like that. If Lack has any sense, she won't tell her. I'm not there to calm her, and that would be the only way Lack wouldn't lose her head." She grinned. "You were on her list of the promotion-needy, you know. If she finds out, there goes you ever rising higher than you are." Aussi longtemps que je peux marcher par la nature, je survivrai.

Posted November 8th, 2007 11:15 PM IP  " Yes, but if she makes a promise, she'll guard it till death. If Lack tells her, she'll promise you out of your job. But otherwise, she does value you pretty high as her grabber for the east district." Shffshh smiled wistfully, remembering days when she had been a picker for the central district. Her feelings were cut short by the itch of a sneeze welling up inside her. She looked around for the tissues, and made a run for them, barely making it.

He's bad news, but he pays, an' I can take care myself. Assumin' I come back." Thinking about jobs, an idea struck her, and she turned to Spyre. "If I stole a license, would ya let me drive?"

Posted November 9th, 2007 06:04 PM IP  "Hmm....How about this? I can take you to a White Market checkpoint, where you can qualify for the criminal's equivalent. Sound good? I'll even pay your fee, if you can get a copper or above."
((Rank in liscense--goes for all types of vehicles:
Gold
Silver
Bronze
Copper
A-J
Most goond Pilots get an A or B. Exraordinary ones get copper or bronze. Spyre's thinking she'll probably get one of the metals, and so he'll have to pay. He's one of the four Golds in existence right now, by the way. Maybe you'll get gold or silver. It's more likely she'll get silver i guess. Oh, and these tables are known as general info. Unless you lived under a rock.)) Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

Posted November 10th, 2007 09:57 AM IP  "Well, I don't have money now but I have a sort of bank with the white market. So I have plenty there. Or I could go into a bar and flash off my liscense, if i didn't want to do that. Somebody would hire me for a quick run. After all," He grinned, "I'm one of the four people in the universe with a gold liscense, legal and not. Yes, I'll pay. Now remember, I'm expecting to to get one of the metals."
((yes, he feels like showing off. but only a little.)) Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.
