Rahks'ha acknowledged Beatrix's nod with one of her and a close lipped smile and then said to her, "Ready for some accel, Beatrix?"  But continued before the human n-space navigator could answer, saying, "Please plot an intercept point, imagining that it's a freighter and they that will try to outrun us."<br/><br/>All of her lights and displays told her that the ship was ready to be flown.<br/><br/>The Mrinkan n-space pilot's senses seemingly expanded.  Her vision became mostly concentrated on ship's forward p.o.v., but she was also fully aware of the other read-outs and the tactical display.  The touch of her hands and feet on the controls let her "feel" the ship.  Some Mrinka and Humans would say that she was imagining the feeling, but Rahks'ha knew better.  When asked to do 'stressful' maneuvers, if she had to, she could 'push' a familiar ship to perform better than some might expect without it breaking apart.  At this time, the controls were at rest, waiting for the engines to supply power.  She could feel the energy waiting to shift from potential to kinetic!<br/><br/>Thinking about 'pouncing', she smiled openly and displayed the fangs of hunger and conflict with anticipation.  Rahks'ha, though facing away from her Captain, said in a voice with a sufficient volume, "The helm is ready, Red Queen."
