Entering the lock code causes the rear ramp to extend down from the right side of the ship. As you enter and start to explore the ship, you notice it is clean and appears to be good working order. The Galley and Medical Bay are both fully stocked.

AD-hoc enters the Engineering area and access the console. The droid is rewarded with readouts that are all approaching maximums for a ship of this class. If fact, if it wasn't for the manufacturing dates, he might believe this was a new ship.

Blih wonders through the ship, checking under every chair and cushion, but his persistence pays off. In the Main Computer room, he finds, not a tracking device per se, but an upgraded Distress/Locator Beacon. It is not currently active, but could be triggered by numerous means.

Also, as he wiggles between the crates in the Cargo hold, he manages to discover a panel in the front wall. It reveals a 1/2 meter space the width and height of the hold. It would be tight for a person or two, but quite a bit of contraband could be stuffed in there.

Jeswain follows his companions up the ramp. Although this vessel was unfamiliar, there was something steadying about being on it. This, he understood. He had spent much of his life aboard a single craft, traveling from one uncharted planet to the next. He decided to check out any survival equipment that might be available in an emergency. Some would think he was being overcautious, but this type of forethought had saved his life on more than one occasion.

'Konchee jah spastika?' asks Ken. Wandering over to the cargo hold to look over the shipment.

He then shimmies up into the gun turret and checks the heavy blaster cannon is operational.

Jeswain notes that fire extinguishers and emergency breath masks were in there expected places and appeared in working order. He also confirmed that the Escape pod was accessible and seemed in new condition.

Ken runs through the what checks he can on the Blaster Cannon, he knows charging the gun while docked would draw some attention. Everything looks in order, but a live fire test would have to wait until they had left the planet.

Satisfied with his findings, Blih make sure to put things back as inconspicuous as they were.

He will then get settled until the ships ready to depart or the crew ready to meet.

His perfunctory review of the ship over, Ken wanders into the galley and starts to fix up a cocktail. 'Coo vopa un yocola?' he asks anyone in earshot.

Jeswain walks into the galley and responds to Ken,

Count me in, I'll have whatever you're having.

Pergano is the last to enter the ship. Slowly walking through the ship he smiles as he gets to the Cockpit.

Smiling he takes a seat in the pilots station and just kind of sits there for a sec. Can't wait to take this baby for a spin.

He decides to flip a switch and speak into the onboard comm system If there aren't any objections let us meet in the common room soon before we head out. I am not sure about you guys but I am ready for quick departure.

Ken rifles through the cupboards and finds two bright coloured bottles of spirits, 'Foonta' he mutters. After pouring them out into a large beaker he adds another pungent liquid and shakes it hard. He pours the bright pink mixture out into two tall glasses as it fizzes and froths. He hands one to Jeswain, 'Pink Nebula' he says, taking a sip and then letting out a long, satisfied sigh.

Pleased with himself, Ken takes his drink and heads over to the common room to meet up with the rest of the crew.

Blih's careful search of the ship took a bit of time. He will join directly the team as they gather in the common room.

Upon hearing the announcement, Ad-hoc could have shrugged (if Droids were prone to such gestures), nevertheless, the Droid made its way to the common area.

Pergano goes to the common room.

How is it going my fine friends? They call me Pergano, and I will be piloting this vessel for the trip. I figure introductions were all in order before taking off.

The five of you gather in the 'Crew Lounge' of the ship. Containing half a dozen chairs, a holo-projector and a games table, it definitely suits the purpose of providing some distraction on long runs. A Rodian, a Balozar, a Togruta, a Xexto and a droid, yesterday they were total strangers, today they are about to leave Lantillies as crewmates.

Ken takes a long drink from his Pink Nebula and places it down, 'Keno Tetsu, call me Ken. I am an...', he mutters under his breath 'Kava settah ulwan, ulwan...?', he looks up again Ah yes, I am an entrepreneur.' He finger guns Pergano and winks with his nictitating membrane.

"Designation: Arakyd Industries' AD-series weapons maintenance droid. 'Ad-hoc', for brevity. I . . . repair things." The droid replies before looking to the next person.

"I’m Jeswain. My family and I were scouts for private interests. Until... recently. I can pilot in a pinch, but my main skill is, well, staying alive when things are trying to kill me."

"The name's Blih. My specialty would be in information gathering. Give me a bit of time to investigate and I'll make sure to know if anybody plans to screw us over."
Jan 12, 2021 11:17 pm
"This team has a variable and valuable skill set" the droid said to no one in particular, "Does this conclude introductions?"
Jan 12, 2021 11:27 pm
I would think so, Jeswain since you are comfortable a bit with piloting would you mind accompanying me as a co-pilot for launch? Ad-hoc, would you be any good at plotting our course?
Jan 12, 2021 11:45 pm
Jeswain looks relieved to be presented with something to keep him busy. "You got it."
