Sarah swears mightily in low gothic as the Alexander's plasma engines fire in such an unsophisticated way.  She thinks.<em>I'm going to have to have another son or daughter... and get them the helm job on my ship.  That creature piloting is a menace.</em>. She looks towards the wire cuppling links.  Crude, but at least they allow her to keep the two ships together though the more delicate manuevers.<br/><br/>Even as these thoughts pass through her head, she glances at the chart Delila is holding up for her inspection.  Her thoughts race... didn't she just analyze that very chart before sleeping last night?  There was a particular way she had wanted to angle the gravity sails here to best catch the solar wind...<br/>Stellar Navigation 6/51 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=24879)<br/><br/>She pours on the thrusters to reach the eddy she remembers,<br/>68/98 Manuvere check (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=24880)<br/><br/>And sighs in pure joy as the ship responds beautifully to her control.<em>Almost nothing in the universe beats this.</em><br/><br/>She feels the two ships strain as they reach their theoretical maximum speed.  "Maximum speed achieved Captain!" She snaps off with a smile as she turns to Cortez.  "Optimum course plotted."<br/><br/>Smuggly she thinks.<em>That's right.  This is why you promoted me.</em>
