Flight club, Imperial junkyard and then some, 4 pm

[can_be_more]

When the Flight Club members get to the junkyard today, Aeryn's standing in front of an actual ship. Aeryn herself is still looking a little battered, but she's not addressing it at the moment. Just pay attention to the ship.


"This is not a simulator," she tells them. "This is a Leviathan transport pod. It's not a fighter ship, and in fact has no weapons. The Leviathan is a living ship, very peaceful, and is often used to transport cargo or people. It grows smaller ships like this which can help that." She debates throwing in a bit about And if you break it, you hurt it but she doesn't think that's true and doesn't want anyone crying if they do something wrong.

"We're just going offplanet," she continues. "I'll get us up there and down again, unless someone really wants to land us. You can fly around, get a feel for how the systems really work. You don't have to worry about hitting anything, and if you do something wrong, I'll be in the chair right next to you, able to fix it. For those of you experienced pilots who think this is boring? You're back in space, enjoy it. Also, if you need it-" She holds up a small paper bag. "-motion sickness pills."

She leads everyone who's going to go inside, where several folding chairs are set up behind the standard four. Don't worry, Bertam's stuck them to the ground but good. When everyone's seated, she sits in one of the front seats and starts up the ship, taking it off the ground, and doesn't stop until they've reached nothing but black space. The Earth is still visible through the window, though.

"All right," Aeryn asks. "Who's first?"


[They're going to be out in the middle of nowhere. Seriously, you can't crash the ship. You can't damage it by pushing a wrong button. Which is good as that would get them stranded in space or vent the cabin or something and we're not playing that out, omg.
Also we are ignoring the last line in the Wiki. *nods*
OCD is a-comingup.]

"As much as they can be anyone's," she answers. "It's from the same place I am, yes."

Alec stares out at the blackness as the ship sails through it, increasing his speed by degrees. "How far away is that?"

She gives him the distance as best as she can figure. "It's about a days' travel one way. They have good fuel mileage."

"Amazing," he says, shaking his head slightly. Then he shoots her a bright, giddy grin. "And hey, you got us up in space a lot quicker than I expected. You rock."

"I'll assume that's a good thing," Aeryn says. "It was a case of good timing for once. Not entirely my doing."

Alec frowns slightly. "My slang doesn't always work. But, yeah, it's very good." He grins again. "You don't want to take the credit? I'd be all impressed and awed."
