Chapter 1: Link to the Past

[Vardaen]

Ral finds a seat, doesn't matter where, he just sort of moves to whatever consol looks free on the bridge area and takes a seat there. Then bringing up the engine and other systems on the screen he awaits either a metting, orders, or take off. His gear, new items included, are packed in his locker on the ship and he's ready to depart.

The Turian acknowledges Grissom and continues to make checks in preparation for takeoff.

The Lieutenant Commander enters the cockpit and informs the Turian, "Prepare for lift off."

Clicking a holographic button on his omnitool, he turns on the ship's intercom and begins speaking. "Attention, this is Lieutenant Commander Grissom."

"Our mission is to stop the rogue SPECTRE Saren Arterius. He is a cunning and dangerous adversary with no regard for life. Saren took an oath to protect the galaxy and now he has turned against all of us. For the sake of the galaxy, we must find him and but a stop to his activities. I would like to extend my thanks for accepting this mission and becoming part of the team that will stop Saren one way or another."

Touching the holographic display once more to turn off the intercom, he looks to Tai and says, "Okay, let's get out of here."

I was just stalling for a bit until we worked out the ship details, but no need to stall if we don't expect starship combat between here and destination.

Never know what will happen with Tet at the helm

"Yes, sir," says Tai. With all systems checked out, the pilot again contacts flight control and obtains a vector for take off.

"Cleared for launch at bay AZ101. Proceed to check Alpha-Ten-Gamma and then proceed on the vector that will be transmitted to you shortly," comes a pleasant female voice from control.

"Roger that," replies the Turian and then looks over to Grissom. "And I'm glad to have you with us, sir," he says. "I think all of us aboard have been wronged by Saren.. and with so much at stake, we can't afford to fail."

There is a slight rumbling of the Houston's deck as its main reactor comes online. Slowly, the ship begnis to move up and then out of the docking bay.

Kinney just made it back aboard, before Grissom seems to lose his patience. It still took some time to get back in the armor without any help, but luckily she didn't have to carry much aboard the ship anway. So after stashing away the little equipment she has, Kinney returns in full armor to Argot when the reactor comes online and the ship begins to move.

"It doesn't look like we got our requested granted," the human officer says when she doesn't spot any delivery. "We're just have to make the best of what we have, right? Don't you trust our weapons? It'll take some time to check each and every one we have. Well, I'll better leave you to it then."

After removing the weapons from her armor and quickly checking her own small armory, Kinney takes the seat in front of a terminal and begins to look into the rogue Spectre.

"Oh, I almost forgot," she says to Argot a few moments later. "I recovered a shotgun from a Krogan a few weeks backs. But I don't need it anyway. It's too... crude. Maybe you can use it."

Ral monitors engine output, cloaking status, and other techincal data on his screen. He isn't trained as an engineer, but by viture of his race he's probably better than three quarters of the rest of the crew and so he settles in for that job while in flight.

Sorry to push ahead without conclusion of the weapon request, I was hoping we could RP that it arrived/didn't arrive as we were flying to destination. I didn't want to hold up the game too much longer

Grissom waits until Tai gets the ship moving towards the destination before taking a seat to rest for a moment. As he sits, he looks through the information downloaded about Saren's whereabouts and information concerning space station Velor, it's purpose, structural layout configuration, and it's contents.

As the Houston clears the station, the running lights on its sides blink out and the passengers may get that queasy feeling - an uneasy mixture of building inertia and artificial gravity. Alexus Tai consults a handful of computers and instruments in the ship's cockpit and then asks Grissom, "Velor, eh? What are you learning about it?"

While he waits, the Turian leans forward and plugs in the coordinates to the nearest mass relay station into the ship's navigation console. The passengers may feel a slow, lazy list to port.
