<div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/4/4e/Bearded_smoker.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Danny Freeman<br/><strong>Location:</strong>The Knight's Errant.<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Miyako, then Evie.<br/><strong>Doing:</strong>ready, ready, ready for the take off!<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Danny looked to Miyako before moving on, "Danny's fine, Miyako... Or just Dan, but thank you for the formality..." he smiled,  "Anyway, to answer... Me, Eric and Evie are gonna fire her up now. It won't take too long to go down to the surface, but depending on how things go... We could just dab the thrust to accel and give everyone a bit of time to have a chat as the trip goes on... The weapon consoles have fire control as standard, it's a fairly good computer lock-on with accuracy adjust, so we'll be good in a skirmish if we run into cult or pirate ships... Hope it's up to scratch!" he explained waving his hand up in a gesture for Miyako to relax, he himself was slouching slightly and his other hand was rested in a pocket.<br/><br/>With that he moved onto the bridge with Eric and Evie in tow. "...And that just leaves us three then..." he smiled serenely as he swaggered to the central seat of the three located on the main bridge. Danny smiled at Evie's enthusiasm, "Yeah... It's a pretty decent design for a ship... Having heatshielding and a streamlined build is really helpful. The controls are the newest top of the line holographics... Takes touchscreen to the next level. It's good to get actual 3D visuals of what we do in here when the ship is drifting and we're manipulating it's acceleration. Even has a fuel processor built in with scoops, so if we run low on fuel going to the Outer system we can skim it as we go."<br/><br/>"Well, come on and strap in then Evie... Time to take this baby on her maiden flight!" he grinned as he clipped his seat belt in place and leant the seat backwards. Seeing as the Knight's Errant could make a thrust of 4G (though this was never really used outside of perhaps a pitched battle for a speedy shift to dodge), the seats reclined all the way back (to a laying down position if required) to help the human body take the higher Gs. "ETD is right now... Eric, make a call over the comms to the Mars station we're heading down..." Eric nodded and did just that as Danny looked over the power figures on a holoscreen before him, seeing the drives were all live.<br/><br/>"Drives are active, Evie... Eric, make a nice path for us to go down, I'll let you know roughly what I'm after..." Dan spoke to the pair as he fingered out some instructions on his holo-screen and sent the flight-plan to Eric's console for the astrogator to map out for Evie to follow. "When Eric passes you over the flight plan Evie, let's make this a gentle one... Dab us at 1G for five seconds to accelerate... We're only a few hundred miles above the surface, so using that as initial acceleration and the same to deccelerate, that gives us a nice two hour trip to get cosy." Just as Dan finished talking Eric had sent the flight path over to Evie's console to guide her. "Just got a text on the comms issuing permission to take off, Captain..." Eric spoke. Dan gave Evie a nod, they were ready to go...
