She blew her whistle and summoned Spanners from the depths of Resonance again, then sat down at her desk, ignoring the slight headache that was building behind her eyes. "Right. Spanners, stand still and let me get you registered, and then we'll get this voyage underway."<br/><br/>She set about the task of aligning Spanners with the Matrix protocols once again, and it all went so much more smoothly this time. Every bit of code she produced lined up perfectly with the Matrix around her, coming back with the clear green light of authenticity. She was in the zone this time, no doubt about it.<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">2 am</span></strong><br/><br/>"I am a genius!" exclaimed Magellan, as she made a final flourish with her quill pen. She thrust the sheaf of papers at Spanners, who looked through them excitedly. "Show those to any demiGOD who tries to stop you, and there won't be any trouble. And remember, if you do get marked down for any misdemeanours, you can always come back to me and I'll see what I can do to scrub your record clean again."<br/><br/>"This contract... says I'm obliged to serve for nine tasks, captain," said Spanners, seeming not entirely enthralled at being so... enthralled. "Is that really necessary?"<br/><br/>Magellan stood up and paced around with her hands behind her back. "This is the mission, Spanners!<em>The mission</em>. This is what I've been training for since I was six! I'm going to need all the help I can get, and having you on my crew will make it that much easier. Stand at ease for now, but prepare to weigh anchor. By my reckoning, we ship out in two hours."<br/><br/>She took hold of the medical bay again, and applied some much less harsh treatments to soothe the minor headache she was starting to feel. Satisfied with her work, she allowed her living persona to reboot while she napped for another hour.<br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">3 am</span></strong><br/><br/>Magellan yawned and stretched, feeling fresh as a daisy, and empowered by the presence of a strong, loyally registered sprite at her side. She clambered out of her medical pod and stumbled over to a chair, dragging her backpack with her. There were just a few more things to take care of before she was ready to start the mission.<br/><br/>"Ahoy there, maties!" she sent to all of her teammates, using the sheer power of her Emerged brain rather than bothering with the commlink in her backpack. "Are we all ready to set sail in an hour? Does anyone want to help me with my armour?"<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Mechanics</div><div class="spoiler_body">Compiling a Level 4 Machine sprite, second attempt.
