Bridge of Ares 8<br/>Barret Wallace<a class="username" data-user-id="33696" data-username="@Black_Out" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://bluemoonroleplaying.com/community/members/33696/">@Black_Out</a>and Erika Brewer (NPC)<br/><br/>Big Barret Wallace kicked back in his chair after having given Erika Brewer the briefest of tours of the cockpit and its control panel.  He was a firm believer that learning through experience was the best method and quite honestly he just needed his co-pilot to understand the barest minimum when it came to the operations of Ares 8.  His fingers tapped away at the control panel, entering codes, setting coordinates, and with a final stab of his finger the engines engaged.<br/><br/>There was a mechanical murmur that hummed throughout the ships halls, corridors, and rooms as the impulse engines flared to life.  Barret grinned and leaned forward towards the ships intercom.  "Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your Captain speaking.  Welcome aboard Ares 8, that rumbling your hearing means we're underway.  Course is set to Cynosure and as your Captain on this voyage I encourage you to sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride."  He gave a wry smile across the bridge towards Erika who was fumbling her way through an introductory video that covered the basic functions of the ships controls.<br/><br/>After a brief and casual look of admiration over the woman whose slender body was easy on the eyes, Barret turned his attention back to the control panel.  "As your Captain for this cruise, I'm also in charge of entertainment, so for your listening pleasure here is a classic oldy from way, way, back.  Enjoy."  With that Barret tapped one final button, filling the airwaves of the ship with the smooth<a class="link link--external" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNo1nS_JV5k" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">melodies</a>of his favorite band clearly emblazoned across his chest.  He couldn't help but sing along, much to Erika's dismay as Ares 8 churned forward into space on its path towards Cynosure.
