Officers) - open<br/><hr/><br/>She'd seen mock-ups of the Odyssey, even holograms, but as the shuttle sliced across the curvature of the Moon and the massive form of the Leviathan-C slowly creeped into view--<br/><br/>--it looked different from the other Leviathan's.<br/><br/>Apparently that had something to do with it's sensitive scanning equipment, which had been designed according to all the latest biotech theories and in collaboration with both the Qin and the Listeners. Even more than the ship's unique appearance, though, the thing that really got to Elizabeth was that... well, once they docked and she made her way aboard, the ship would be "hers". Oh, to be sure, it'd still technically belong to the United Nations,- and the Aeon Trinity,- but for all practical purposes? The Odyssey was hers.<br/><br/>...her first command..<br/><br/>It was a little sobering, in a lot of ways. She'd have a crew of nearly 400 under her command, a far ranging mission that was going to take them well-away from any possibility of assistance,-- in the utter darkness of space, to sift through the dirt of alien worlds, all seeking answers to questions that humanity<em>desperately</em>needed to know. Questions that related to the darkest parts of her own history. Just thinking back to those years she spent under the domination of--<em>that thing</em>- was almost enough to bring a shiver down her spine.<br/><br/>"Any final thoughts, people?"
