Re: On the Fell Hand
Trask knows how Lorayne is, they've traveled together for years and years now. She's never let him down. And yet, she's always into his business, like some nagging old lady. She's a perfect fit for young Tibur. "Lorayne, I know you perhaps do not wish to leave," he says, "But Tibur is young, and rash, as I once was. I do not want to see my only brother dead. I want you to take care of him and our new ship."

Re: On the Fell Hand
"If the Fell Hand is going to remain in the Koronus Expanse," Aleksander says, "then I should like to go aboard her. You've been an excellent Lord-Captain to work under, but my heart is currently in the Expanse." He cracks a rare smile. "Besides, I suspect that you are more able than your brother to keep a close watch on House Trask's newest Navigator until he's settled in a bit more."

Re: On the Fell Hand
Nathin is typing in the transfer orders up as each member of the command crew speaks up. As eyes fall on him and Melvust, he decides it's time to make his own intentions known.
"Lord-Captain Trask, you have been a wise leader and a good friend, but I fear it is time for me to move on as well. The secrets of the stars await, and I have been called upon to tell their tales. Until we meet again, Tiber, in this life or the next."
Nathin steps forward and grasps the captain's forearm, pulling him into a one-armed hug. With that, he steps back and write up his own transfer order.

Re: On the Fell Hand
Everyone now is starring at Melvust, the last one to decide. But for him the choice is quite obvious.
"Lord-Captian, as we all know the condition of the Fell Hand is very delicate. The ship needs a skilled Magos and therefore I would like to take care of it to present it in the best possible shape to your brother."

Re: On the Fell Hand
It is decided then, Ardus Helum, Lorayne Thornhallow, Melvust Malorian, Nathin Tsanthos and Aleksander Benetek will leave Sarvus Trask and form the senior crew on the Fell Hand. Before the last good-byes are said, Trask must name one member of the crew Captain (until Tibur arrives). The Captain's task will be to make the journey to SR-651 and get the repairs done there.

Lorayne looks sadly at Sarvus for a moment and then pulls herself together. She rises salutes the Captain and then heads for her quarters to see to the transfer of her gear to the Fell Hand.

Re: On the Fell Hand
"Nathin will take over temporary command until you reach the station," Trask says, "With the shape the Fell Hand is in, commit to no engagements, none, flee, run if you have to. Your lives are worth more than some pitiful honorific battle you have no hope of winning."

Re: On the Fell Hand
Nathin claps his right fist to his chest and bows his head. "I shall serve the dynasty to the utmost of my abilities, mylord."
Two more orders are written; transfer for Melvust and command change to himself. Nathin steps up to the captain and offers the data-slate for signatures one last time.

Re: On the Fell Hand
"The important thing, Nathin, is to make sure we can disguise the ship once repairs have started. I want it to be legal. I leave that in your hands." Trask rolls his shoulders, "Make sure you hire good men, honorable, fearless, and tough. That is the way of the Trask Dynasty." Sarvus Trask knows the Fell Hand will need a good crew. "Fire or dispose of any already on the Fell Hand that give you trouble."
