8-149: Merchant Freighter Spanial – Control
As she goes through her checklist, Lia occasionally has to confirm things with the Engineering staff.
Over comms Gregar says wryly, “Lia at the helm; should I strap in?
Beat.
He continues professionally, “Main Thrusters are hot and live to your command.”
She completes her checklist without finding any issues.
Prrri has been talking to Karmen about Sensor and Comms readiness.
Karmen and Jennie have been discussing navigation issues.
After a bit Jennie says to Lia, “Karmen, send the final navigation plot to Lia’s station.”
Karmen says, “Sending.”
The nav plot containing the course Lia is to follow appears on her station.
Karmen says, “We have clearance to depart port at our discretion.”
Jennie says, “Lia, when you’re ready, take us out of Dock.”
She can respond to Gregar, converse with her colleagues, do other things is you wish.
When she’s ready to leave dock give me two pilot rolls (in case I need two; should only need one.)
Lia will respond to Gregar.
“You strap whatever you need, Engineer, let me take charge of the thrusters.”
All said with a sweet as pie tone.
“Taking us out of Dock.”
14 and 9 respectively. Versus 10 which means a shaky start.
