8-193: Merchant Freighter Spanial

She can mess around with the ring setting for a bit, but it really needs a good centrepiece that she doesn’t have.  By the time the ship goes into jump, she gets something that sort of looks ok, but I’m guessing she feels she can do better.

The scent with the stone is coming along quite well, she can work on-and-off over the course of the journey on it.

She’s due for a Zoner! hit before bed just after Kwint departs, and one more before Spanial goes into jump..

Spanial jumps into hyperspace at GR08 on Lia Day 31.  There’s some technical conversation between Jennie and Gregar about using all three of the FTL engines even though only two are needed for the jump.  Gregar notes that re-tuning the engines will take longer at the other end, Jennie says it probably won’t matter as she’ll have to take some astronomical observations before the ship can safely jump out anyway, as there are no jump tables published for restricted space, but the extra engine will allow her to do a third-order nav plot.

As a shuttle pilot, Lia probably only has a superficial idea what they’re talking about.

Let’s start with the Hopper.

On GR03 on Lia Day 32 Gregar organises people to meet in the Cargo Hold to work on the Hopper.

Prrri, Jennie and he will show up at the inner airlock wearing their vacc suits.
