"She might not look like much, but the Dauntless is one of the best for transport an security purposes without bringing in a full fledged war ship, like the SR5 Normandy or something.  She's capable of FTL, but for sake of expediency and fuel efficiency, we usually let the Mass Relays do all the work for us while we're in our own galaxy.  The trip will be about an hour long since we jump from one relay to the next, a pair connected only to each other and no others if they're primary link ups at any rate.  There's a lot of small relays out here in the Milky Way, but they have a limited range due to their size.  Not only that, but we only use Mass Relays that we know where they come out of since we don't want to chance any dangerous races coming through unannounced, as I'm sure you can imagine.  To answer your question though Michelle, might I ask one of my own?  I don't have a problem with you bringing another ship, but I am curious as to why you wish to do so.  If it's a simple thing as it being outdated or something, I wouldn't be offended but some people onboard might be is my only concern."  He smiled, knowing how touchy some people could be about their ships.  Mostly because they became a home to most spacers, and such they didn't like their homes being abused or talked bad about.  John knew how that was, but he also knew that the Atlanticans were far more advanced, and so the sight of the old ship before them probably made her uneasy or at least wish to ride in something a bit more familiar.
