				The Miranda Keyes looks magestic - perhaps like the star ontop of a stubby grey christmas tree which is the freighter it attaches to.&nbsp; It's a dull green in colour, and vaguely bullet shaped with two swept back stubby wings on the side for atmos flight.<br><br>Inside, a central hatch run through the ship, giving access both when weightless (like it is now while in orbit) as well as via rungs set in the walls while under accelleration or landed on a planet.<br><br>There are 5 primary decks - Bridge which has accelleration couches for the full crew, Recreation, Crew decks with the 6 staterooms, and two communal bathrooms and showers, labratories and finally the engineering deck.&nbsp; When landing..a 6th deck would be the landing module, which is left on planet.<br><br>Now getting ready for the flight, Pradi and the two Dralasite crew are in engineering finishing final details, most of the flight crew up on the bridge, and the expedition crew are settling their effects in their room before slowly meandering up to the bridge.&nbsp; Takeoff is in under an hour.

				Zynthia spends over an hour organizing her room with the help of the her room mate Lappsod Dog. She is friendly and they seem to be in companionship mode as they make their way to the bridge.<br><br>They chat and&nbsp; generally spend the time getting to know each other. <br><br>Zynthia smiles as she notices the others on the bridge. "hi I'm Zynthia. I'm into enviromental experimentation and cataloging." she grins at the way it sounds. But does nt try to clean it up.

				Lappsod doesn't seem to be like the 2 joking Dralasites.. but rather is into more indepth technical talks.&nbsp; She typically wears this bulky harness that she's frequently typing notes into a wrist keyboard.<br><br>The bridge is busy.. however not too busy that everyone has time to give Zyntha a proper greeting.. Captain Marlboro tipping his head then returning to his talks with Terry regarding a datapad.. Terrence giving a hearty "Hello" and directing her to an accelleration couch on the lower section.. near a window so Zyntha can have a good view of space.<br><br>Captain Marlboro flips the comm. "All crew to the bridge.. make sure everything is stowed..we will be taking off in 10 minutes"

				There is a sense of excitment surrounding the bridge.&nbsp; one of the crew shows her how to&nbsp; strap in and she lays there all tingly with nerves. but she has started a new adventure and so no matter what&nbsp; everything is new&nbsp; and she is waiting.

				&nbsp;Annika settles into her room. Nodding a greeting to Marnie Symmes, she glances up as the comm system announces the coming&nbsp; launch. "Time to go." she says, strapping herself into her seat.

				Marnie takes her seat alongside her cabinmate, having met earlier.&nbsp; She flashes the albino a smile back. "Out into the void" and then tends to her computer consoles.. although being medic there isn't much immediate for her to do.<br><br>Lappsod sits into her chair, contouring her body to fit.. the belts webbing out to protect the Dralasite's amorphous body.&nbsp; She attaches a cord from her body computer to the ship's computer and continues working.. not giving as much casual attention to her bunkmate for the next year.<br><br>The countdown commenses, and a low rumble starts to shake the ship.. then as the mooring lines are released.. Rath lets out a sudden WHOOP which startles most of hte people on the bridge..followed by a sudden push of about 2 G's of accelleration.

				the woop is answered by a soft squeek and zyn covers her face with her hands. Then feeling foolish she folds her hands into her lap and feels the pressure of the lifting.

				The Miranda Keyes starts to accellerate away from the Minotaur station, the Captain completes his radio chatter with control, then addresses the bridge.<br><br>"We're underway now.. It will be about 18 hours until we jump to the void.&nbsp; I will expect everyone to be on the bridge for the void transfer.&nbsp; Until such time, all expedition crew are under Terrence's care.&nbsp; I understand he will be starting preliminary meetings in the briefing room in an hour.&nbsp; All Miranda Keyes crew.. stay on bridge."<br><br>With that.. the non ship-crew start to unfasten their seats.&nbsp; The accelleration of the ship more or less steadies at about 1.2 Gee's.. and the ship which was one weightless now has a 'down'.&nbsp; Of course, the ship was designed this way.. to function both in zero G and under gravity.. it just makes the rungs in the hatches between decks alot more useful.<br><br>Terrence flashes a smile at Annika and then heads towards the hatch leading down - towards the conference room

				&nbsp;Annika enjoyed the boost out of orbit. She'd always liked travelling and space travel was the best. Unstrapping, she carefully gets out of the acceleration chair and heads to the conference room.

				A couple of the crew on the bridge shift stations, and the head engineer heads down the access ladder towards engineering.&nbsp; Most of the expedition crew start to head down - either to their quarters or slowly towards the conference centre<br><br>Annika is the second in the large conference room.. Terrence is at the head, busy pulling up starcharts on the computer.&nbsp; He looks up.. sharing a silent smile, before Marina comes in behind, heading to one of the places to sit down.<br><br>

				Is the last to come in. or at least one of them. She got lost and then got side tracked. But she finally arrives to smile at the group and find her place.

				The mission crew assembles in the briefing room (Minus Rath, who is still up on the bridge..being a combination mission specialist/pilot)&nbsp; Lappsod, the only non-human, makes a couple jokes to that effect.. the typical 'a Dralasite walks into a human bar.. luckily he was short enough that he didn't get hit' type.. until Terrence starts the meeting.<br><br>The team goes over the plans - right now they are indistinct until actual planets are found for settlement.&nbsp; A followup review starts to divide the crew into their duties when landed - Rath will be piloting and general assistance, Marnie medic and biologist, Zyntha enviromental, Annika Geology and socialogy, and Lappsod tending after the robotic survey equipment.<br><br>The next month falls into a routine, review - getting to know other crew-mates.&nbsp; 8 days in the ship transitions from void space, to normal, and then several hours later plots a new jump to the survey system.&nbsp; Another 10 days pass and the ship again drops into real-space in the Magh-Mar system.<br><br>The crew starts their survey - aided by Annika analysing sensor readouts - discovering the 4th planet falling within habital zones.&nbsp; Distant readings indicate a thick atmosphere and likelyhood of life.&nbsp; The ship sets course - the crew taking any final preparations before heading to planetfall and their new home for the next year.<br><br><em>(sorry for the long meta-posing.. I'm trying to jump the game towards where it lands.. feel free to do the same.. we had about a month or so in there of the 'trip' )</em>

				<em>(was waiting for others to metapose..but I'll try to breathe life back into this :D&nbsp; Welcome back one and all)</em><br><br>Two weeks pass.&nbsp; The Miranda Keyes achieves orbit around the 4th planet, Magh Mar.&nbsp; Showing ample signs of habitation - covered by extensive vegitation - orbital surveys start to decide the prime and alternate landing zones.&nbsp; <br><br>More detailed probing indicates the presents of mild toxin's in the atmosphere, but nothign that simple enviromental suits couldn't handle.&nbsp; A full planetary workup is in the works, and at the end of the 2nd week the preliminary findings are being assembled.&nbsp; Comm Satellites are placed in orbit and the first lander is prepped for landing.&nbsp; The expedition is planning to take 2 months on planet.&nbsp; A day is given for all crew to stow their gear.. after the last month or so of weightlessness.. even the .9 G of Magh Mar is going to feel quite heavy.

				Zyn spends alot of time&nbsp; with Lappy and when they begin to explore the enviroment of the planet they seem to spend alot of time discussing their findings. It is noted that Zynthia has a warpped sense of humor.&nbsp; the old jokes that the Draslasites so enjoy is all new to her and she laughs truely enjoying them.. well the ones she understands. either way she laughs at them enjoying the joke.<br><br>Lap takes control of the packing as Zyn can not make up her mind about what will be needed for her personal comfort. Her equipment is stowed and is totally everything she will need to identify and catalogue flora and fawna. Atmosphere has been taken care of by satelite sampling. the computers won the lander will handle the rest. but her ability to make personal decisions is a bit weak.<br><br>

				&nbsp;She packs all that she thinks she'll need for the 2 month stay. Making sure that her sunscreen and contact lens were stowed safely. After a last check, Annika heads to the main room where she floats by the large window, staring at the beauty of the untouched world orbiting so serenely below them...

				The landing is a very energetic affair.&nbsp; The rumble of the engines against the atmosphere shakes the entire craft - although the assault scout was built for this.<br><br>Orange and purple streams flit by the windows as the Miranda Keyes goes through the atmosphere, heading towards the watergap region of the planet.<br><br>The lander deploys it's legs, which will form the foundation for the landing base and liftoff platform for when the Miranda Keyes is to leave.&nbsp; At touchdown, the crew gets to work.<br><br>Captain Marlboro overseas his crew and the deployment of the conning tower (for the survey airships) and then starts on the overhaul of the two engines.&nbsp; (After every major flight there needs to be about 2 days of overhaul on each of the two engines)<br><br>Expedition Commander Fitzgerald takes charge of the survey team, dividing everyone into their own groups for the preliminary surveys.&nbsp; These preliminary ones are conducted in full spacesuits - there isn't 100% certainty of the atmospheric situations until the lab has done their bit.<br><br>Zyntha is directed to work with in the atmospheric labs first on a study of the atmosphere, then hydrosphere and soil samples of the landing site while Annika is working with Marnie assisting with conducting regular checkups on the mental and physical state of all the crew - checking for any preliminary signs of altered behavior due to the planetary condutions.
