I’ll-keep that in mind…”<br/><br/>Tamrithra blushed a bit upon noticing her partially-disrobed state. Pulling the vacc suit back up she gave Tip a friendly wave goodbye as she looked about the ship. While a VI was handy to have onboard she didn’t know just how much Shokyou could do on her own.<br/><br/>“Shokyou, can you hear me?” she called out when in one of the linking corridors. “How much of that did you...see, hear? It was a momentary lapse in judgment, I’ve been kinda lonely lately, and-and you know-”<br/><br/>Even if said room had some kind of privacy mode, Tamrithra’s foot-in-mouth behavior left little doubt as to what kind of ‘judgmental lapse’ nearly occurred.<br/><br/>“Anyway! Let’s go over the rooms; let me know what’s in the major facilities, what they can do, and such.”<br/><br/>Tamrithra was quite impressed with the ship’s accoutrements. The boarding tubes and tractor beam modules could be easily repurposed for bounty hunting, while the camouflage array could spoof the scanners of other ships into IDing it as another kind of vessel from a distance. There was also a full arsenal of various weapons, not all of which may be legal in most systems. She didn’t want to think of the original purpose for cryogenic pods in the back. Making doubly sure that nobody else was along for the ride, Tamrithra ventured over to the spike drive chamber.<br/><br/>To the uninitiated eye a spike drive chamber would look like any typical postech engine room: a horizontal cylindrical column audibly thrumming, with cables hooked up to a nearby terminal.<br/><br/>“Ah, a Scout-Class Magnetosplode Drive System!” Tamrithra remarked as she looked over the piece of hardware. “A good upgrade over the standard Mandate module, although the vessel’s lack of fuel bunkers and scoops probably means we can’t go too far off the beaten path.”<br/><br/>She betrayed a small smile, scratching her chin. “Buuuut I think with a few tweaks here and there I can make it work on par with a Starfarer-Class Shepard Drive...but now’s not the time to tinker.“<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">When/if Tamrithra reaches level 2, I think I’ll flavor her Lvl 2 Starfarer focus upgrade as her familiarizing herself with the ship’s systems and using strategic allocation of power supplies to do spike drives in half the time and at 1 rank higher.<br/><br/>Otherwise, Tamrithra is going to get acquainted with the ship’s layout and facilities.</div></div>
