"Our medical supplies are adequate, for now." Dr Vargas says, "I restocked the Autodoc after Mr. Miller (Blackjack) finished his treatment. The low berths are working properly and I do not anticipate the loss of any of our passengers." "The recent gun fights that the crew has engaged in are a danger we need to discourage, though. I can't guarantee the successful treatment of everyone if they keep getting perforated with bullets." Vargas says with a slight smile letting Tokheletoi know he is making a joking comment. "It is a pleasure to make the acquaintance of you and your partner. I have no experience with your Specie in the past." the doctor says, "I downloaded a series of library articles about Aslan medical conditions and procedures. I hope they aren't needed, but will study them just in case. If you and Takheal will provide me with your medical records and allow me to conduct a general check up once we are in Jump Space that will help me considerably." Tokheletoi performs an awkward human style nod. "The ship seems well founded from my cursory inspection. I'm pleased that we have a qualified medical official aboard. There is a good mix of males and females such as ourselves aboard which speaks well for our chances of success. It is our job to guide the males into the proper avenues for their aggressive behaviors. Some of my sisters regard males as only marginally useful for guarding clan property, acting as figureheads and of course breeding. I have a more balanced view of them although they are most certainly indispensable for procreation." She swivels her ears in what might be humor. "We will gladly provide our medical records. I have some data provided by our clan doctors to aid humans in dealing with Aslan medical issues."

OOC: Clarification! Cyril (Oscar's PC) isn't a Delgado employee. Cyril is the ship's steward...a very good cook and pretty good in a fight, too. Two different people. Sir Baltus is in the cargo hold and you talk to him there. They you move up to the Galley and speak to Cyril who asks about your " Diet, lighting, atmosphere, temperature, gravity?" Okay?
OOC: I'm good with a bit of temporal discontinuity. It keeps things moving "Perhaps there might be ongoing business for the ship carrying goods and supplies to and from your new trading outposts. I am not yet privy to the longer term plans of the captain and cannot of course promise scheduled support." Tokheletoi paused. "I cannot see us competing with you but rather working together. What service might you need and what primary goods are you seeking to trade in these systems?"

What service might you need and what primary goods are you seeking to trade in these systems?" "We don't know yet." Sir Baltus says, "This is more a matter of exploration to find out what goods or services might be most profitable for Delgado going forward." "I will be taking the Factor position on Shira Lea." Baltus says, "I know most of it's residents came from the Romanian Empire...Vladislav, Patagonia, where we've just come from. Many of them left the Romanian Empire seeking religious freedom." Sir Baltus waves his hand and adds, "As far as I'm concerned, the Morganians are a cult, but their money is just as good as anyone else's, so Degado and I, will be happy to trade with them...as much as I might find their beliefs objectionable. I reckon they are going to want to trade agricultural goods for manufactured goods. We'll see." "There is a Romanian Scout Base on an island only a few kilometers from the Morganian's largest settlement." Baltus says, "You'll land there and that's where I'll set up the Delgado Factory. At least, I'll be around Romanians most of the time and only have to deal with the Morganites when we trade."

Once I see what's what, I can do some reprogramming of the ship's AutoDoc. Just in case, it is needed for you or your partner."

[OOC: Emiya is doing what she needs to to as the crew prepares to leave.Strap in? Stay in her & Captain Raven's quarters till it is safe to move about the ship?Check to make sure her ship duties are completed?] OOC:Raven notifies all of the new crew members of the impending jump so that they can strap in during jump initiation and once they are underway them everyone can go about their business. She reminds herself to check with the new crew members to see if any want to avail themselves of the chance to study and learn new skills or enhance existing ones during their down time."Jump plotted," Charlie said. "Ready at navigation." Charlie OOC: Once Blackjack gives the OK, Raven sounds the jump warning and commences the countdown to the Jump and then they are away! OOC: Reviewing all the posts I believe we are ready to depart.

Those inside the ship feel nothing as it lifts smoothly from the tarmac of the starport runway and ascends toward the darkness of space. On the bridge Raven concentrates on flying and is pleased at how well the ship is responding.
"That was a smooth lift." Blackjack sends from Engineering, "I'll have the jump drive ready for you when you need it."
It is going to be three and a half hours before you reach the 100 diameter limit. So you have plenty of time to change out the programs and get the ship ready for jump.
As you make the customary "one orbit before departing" Traffic Control sends up a feed of surrounding space where there are two inbound ships and one outbound one. They also remind Raven to turn on the ship's transponder and wishes the ship a good jump.

Tokheletoi bowed her head slightly to Dr. Vargas. "I am grateful to meet another female so attentive to the well being of those around her. I will transmit the medical data to you once we have settled into Jump. While I hope our missions are peaceful one must always be prepared for the worst. Our medical needs should be minimal as both Takheal and I are young and healthy. As we are not a mated pair their will be no issues around pregnancy."

Vargas bows slightly, "I hope for peace as well, but as you say, be prepared for the worst." "Do you know anything of the Mantan Subsector?" Vargas asks, "None of us have ever been there and there is almost no data to be had from any source we have been able to access. I know Chief Factor Lois Wang has been actively seeking such data as her job is to open the subsector to her trade by the Delgado Corporation for whom she works." Adding as an aside, "Our ship's owner, Blackjack Miller seems to be smitten by Lois Wang and she by him. I wouldn't be surprised to discover *they* are soon to be a mated pair...as you put it."

Captain Raven and the crew complete the pre-jump routine and then proceed with the jump. As she often has before she muses on what the true nature of jump space is and how it was discovered and accessed. Not for the first time she wonders if there are other spaces and what their natures might be and whether even greater transit "speeds" are possible.
She then keys the mike and lets everyone know that we are now in jumpspace and to resume regular activity, aside from the crew on watch.

Gil pings Raven via the intercom, "Captain, I can take the first watch after a quick bio-break if you like." (Regardless, he will stop at the galley to grab food and beverage, and if he is on the first watch he will return to his turret.)

Things that are important to you in the shipboard environment?Takheal smiles in the tight-lipped manner Raven has seen both Aslan demonstrate. "No, I am familiar with most human customs, and I understand that there are allowances to be made when a group of people live in a closed environment." He waves a clawed hand at the overhead.

OOC: I'm going to fast forward through jump to your next port of call, but before I do I want to know if anyone is spending their jump in "study" of any skills? You can also continue to post in THIS thread if you want to "get to know each other's characters" while in jump. Otherwise, we'll move to a new thread for the landing/adventures on Shira Lea. That thread is coming right up!

Load your small arm with special rounds that mimic the recoil, don't actually fire anything, but connect to Traveller's version of Oculus Go that provides visual and auditory cues. With that you can practice both range shooting and simulate small scale combat situations. Not quite a "holodeck" but something that could be produced today if someone was to work at it. I suspect by Traveller time you could simulate most physical skills for practice purposes.

Takheal spends his time in jump socializing with the crew(Tolerance?), and studying more about the main they're traveling along. He also spends time with Tokheletoi, learning more about her likes and dislikes as a person.

OOC: Raven is going to continue training in Engineering until such time as you have determine she has reached a satisfactory level of skill and at that time she will start another course of study. She will also work on getting to know the rest of the new crew members. As well as keeping an eye on Peng and Gilroy, those too are not as poker faced as they think they are. There is always something just a bit off about them as you get more familiar with them, which makes their ability to fool most people even more apparent. Still they can be quite useful to have around. Catching them red-handed could be useful too!

As is his usual wont, Peng spends as much time sleeping as he can get away with, but also practices virtual Gunnery duing his duty shifts, using fictional sensor readings. If he can find others to participate in it with him, Peng will also "practice" Gambling during his free time.

It's not a lot...
