6-051: Merchant Freighter Spanial – Control Room
That seems to hit a mark, Karmen brushes her hand gently and possessively along the bulkhead next to her.
“Spanial’s not large by freighter standards, but she’s bigger than an aerospace shuttle, for sure.”
She inclines her head at the pilot’s acceleration couch, “Take the left seat.”
If there are only two workstations, which is usually the case on the shuttles Lia would have flown previously, the spacecraft commander/senior pilot sits on the left.
Karmen settles herself into the centre couch.
“OK, I’m setting up a login for you now. Ah, Kwint’s already given you one for Hio, I see. Naughty boy. I’ll just extend the permissions to Spanial.”
She taps at her console for a bit.
“So, retinal pattern authentication the first time you need command access after you have been off-ship or after 10 Cycles of inactivity. Thumbprint and ID tag after that. Login now.”
Assuming she sat/sits, Lia can now access the Spanial’s controls and ask any questions. Karmen will spend several moments taking her through the basics of Spanial’s operation.
She will sit and be rather awed at the difference between this console and that of a shuttle.
She will ask a series of questions regarding the differences in flight and operation.
I just rolled a 14 for Piloting but her skill is only 10. Unless you’re considering this an IQ pilot roll, which makes her skill a 12.
I imagine she’ll make quite a few faces and apologies for how out of practice she is.
