Mr.Sandstorm
Casualy coming your way, stand by.
Lettli found it rather curious that, out of all ships, they chose his frigate for diplomatic transport. To a planetside city.
He was never too confortable with some of Bvalthu's administrative behaviours, and specificaly this one.
Lugging people around trough interstellar distances only to let them loose like this. It just never matched well with his own, martial-bound discipline.
A Watchtowers is no place for diplomats, it only escorts diplomats, it doesnt carry them too. But someone chose to hop inside his ship, so now it's being refitted for a task she has never done before.
As the massive tapered frame of the ship was being adourned with landing gears, aerodinamic casings for it's irregularities, multiple hovering heli-blades and a set of massive tapered straight wings, the svessian captain began his old checkup procedure once more while he floated trough the wide spaces of the Third Hangar. He brought up his "crewcomm" channel.
"Crew. Status."
" High-dawned and working, captain." A female voice answered first. " As usual, the warm-up procedure was already done, and the antimatter cells, yes, cells, are being cradled. We've been issued two more cells for this mission, captain. And, uh... "
"Excellent. Good day-cycle to you, Ásh, yes, I'm aware that we're making an atmospheric drop." he gave a miniscule sigh "And that were carrying passangers now, apparently."
This time a deeper voice answered. "We're mounting some storage crates, as well as extra seats for the..."
"Diplomats. We're making first contact."
"Right, diplomats..... If so, shouldnt they have brought us bio-suits too? For the diplomats, that is. Our MCS's are here already."
"Right. They should. I'm pretty sure Bvalthu didnt forget that we organic creatures can get infected if we just run around shaking hands..."
"I will double check, they might be in one of the compartments."
"Acknowledged, Vas. Ásh, how are the airframe diagnostics?"
" Nearing completion, captain. Minor structural adjustments are queueing up, they should beign shortly."
He diverted his attention to the giant compartment humbly floating trough the main shaft of the Bay to it's storage center. Multiple fighter drones were visible neatly packed in the frame that formed the cargo compartment. He wondered for a second how his old drone wing, the 50th, was faring.
Now hanging on a pipe shaft, he could see underneath him his ship as it was being refited by a series of mechanical arms surrounding it.
"Cal, you're being very quiet."
"What, uh, yes, captain. Antimatt--"
"Just keep watch of the diagnostics." Len cut him before he could embarras himself by giving a reactor cell report 3 minutes late.
"I'm coming in."
"Aye. Aye. Uh, yes, aye."
Shaking his head, he leaped downwards toward the ship, carefully leaping from strut to strut to avoid getting hit by the reffiting arms.
