The AI was only happy to respond to Toi's questions in turn.   After all, they were going to be together for at least a little while, and there wasn't a reason to lie. As for Darion, he was spot on.  There was almost no data on the mission, only to 'collect the data cores';  likely despite the fact the employer had said the base was abandoned, something must be roaming around there.<br/><br/>As the crew gathered in, final preperations were being made.  "All systems are nominal, at least for such an old ship.  It is well maintained, although some of the systems are outdated.  Will be launching in a few minutes, strap yourselves in."<br/><br/>The Android was business like, and despite her heavy accent, she didn't bely much emotion.  "Launch request granted.  Launching in 3... 2... 1...."<br/><br/>The sudden jerk might have caught some off guard, as the ship slowly lifted off the ground.

Suggest ya get some rest, entertain yerselves, or anything else you fleshlings might want ta do."<br/><br/>((Gonna skip ahead, since we've kinda moved around for a while now without a mission<img alt=":p" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p"/>))<br/><br/>As they arrived, the pilot called everyone back to the bridge.  The planet was brown with spots of green, with little atmosphere to speak of.  Not a fun place to try to live.  "Research base is not detected.  I had ta use a probe in order to find it, wouldn't have if we hadn't had the location.  It appears abandoned, no ships that aren't damaged in some way left, multiple life forms detected, although the inside of the structure is shielded as the outside, not gonna be much data goin' in."<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
