6-040: Merchant Freighter Spanial – Engineering
Gregar seems pleased at her acceptance.
He gestures at one of the ship’s walls.
“He’s in a suit, squeezed into one of the FTL drive accesses checking out an anomalous reading. As soon as he’s done, we’ll start re-tuning the drives post jump. Normally we would be doing that already.”
He glances quickly down at the deck, toward where the Control Room is.
“Cap usually likes us to get the drives re-tuned as fast as we can after jump exit. I expect-“
He is interrupted by the internal comms-call noise.
“One moment, Lia.”
He presses the receive button on his wrist.
“Gregar.”
Lia can hear the captain’s voice, tinny over Greagr’s personal comm.
“Gregar, have you started the re-tuning yet?”
“No Captain, just waiting for Prrri to diagnose the cause of the outlier reading.”
“Quick, as you can, Gregar.”
“Yes Cap.”
The call is disconnected from the other end.
He looks back at Lia, continues, “I expect she’ll be calling me about it soon.”
[GM Note: Lia may find that Prrri is ‘otherwise occupied’ until I have had a chance to do some final prep work on the Felline…]
She looks mildly disappointed at not seeing Prrri.
“Well, I should probably let you get back to it. Don’t keep the Captain waiting. We can look at the shuttle systems another time.”
She scrunches up her nose in reluctance.
“I should get back to work anyway. Been putting it off…”
She hops down from the bench she was sitting on.
