<strong>Eavesdown Docks, Persephone ~ 26th April, 2519 (the next evening, around 6.30pm)</strong><br/><br/>Man's Ruin sat on the tarmac of Eavesdown Docks. She looked in much better shape than she had just a day before. Aaron had come through with his supplies and most of the new ceramic plates and steel bars he'd got had already replaced the broken shards and twisted supports on the outer hull. As Astrid had discovered, the main engine was running, but grinding and spluttering in ways an engine shouldn't. It had to be a problem with the compression coil or damage to wiring connecting its housing to the relay panel. The crash had obviously done more than bump it around and if they were going to be sure the ship would stay afloat, it had to be right. That said, the physical damage was minimal and even the outer VTOL engines had avoided the brunt of the harsh landing. One of the shuttles was acting up but the other (Shey's shuttle) hadn't taken any damage at all.<br/><br/>Sidney arrived to find the ship's controls were a bit different from what he was expecting, but not so different he couldn't fly her. She might just take a bit of getting used to and getting to know. He didn't see any signs of damage, at least on first glance, but chances were some of the sensors would need re-calibrating, and he couldn't really take her up and fly her until Astrid got the engines running.<br/><br/>Samson had told Santiago and Thalia about Mason Kincaid's party when they got back to the ship the night before. He wanted Santiago to work on her the next day, as he did himself, getting her fixed and ready to fly. Thalia knew very little about the electrics or mechanics.. or anything of ships, including this one, but once she was sure the med bay was in order, she took up a paintbrush and helped return the ship to its former decorated glory. Paint had been knocked off here and there, and the ceramic plates were different colours, so she helped put them right. There was only so much she could do as repairs weren't finished, so in the afternoon she set off for Shey's apartment (with an agreement to meet Samson and Santiago later).<br/><br/>There was the (not small) matter of sorting out a job, and that was where Mason Kincaid's party came into the equation. That and the poker tournament he was planning at his home in the Southdown Hills. It was where a lot of the richer folk lived on Persephone - it even had its own spaceport, which was the more expensive, Alliance-heavy alternative to Eavesdown. Mason said to be at his home around 8, and Shey had a date with her client around the same time at the party. Babs also had her invitation, though she might not have spoken to anybody else about that. The time to leave was approaching and the whole night lay before you.<br/><br/>(http://imageshack.com/a/img840/6769/9t68.jpg)<br/><br/>OOC: Astrid, I found this useful link:<br/>http://firefly.wikia.com/wiki/03-K64-Firefly<br/>This one's a series 3?<br/><br/><hr/>Thread Index:<br/><br/>Game Thread - Current (Chapter 2 - The Gamble): https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=208456.0<br/>Game Thread (Chapter 1 - Crossroads): https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=206036.0<br/>Background Prologue Thread: https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=205912.0<br/>OOC Thread: https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=205809.0<br/>Shey's Cortex: https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=208072.0<br/><br/><hr/>Finalised Characters: https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=205814.0<br/>NPC List: https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=206008.0<br/>World Building Thread (Preliminary sheets shown on this thread): https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=204953.0<br/>Group Roleplays Wanted Thread: https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=205765.0<br/>
