"Engines prepped, systems nominal, sequence commencing. 10....9....." The engines could be heard whining to life, the ground pulsing blue underneath the engines as the ship pointed upwards to the sky, space, and the ultimate beyond. Chewie looked at the computer as he was strapped tight to his seat, his red, white , and blue suit covering his entire form. Looking through his helmet he read off techincal data as the countdown continued. As he was doing that Jak who was wearing his red suit was flipping switches and letting the fuel flow to the engines and giving the yoke a few pulls and pushes, just to make sure they were ready to go. Lunira sat there in her seat her light blue suit covering her form as well. With her eyes closed as she whispered to herself, she really hated the take off portion, it always made her sick to her stomach, just another day she guessed. The final piece of the puzzle was Callum, the co-pilot, he flicked his own switches, which caused power to be sent to the radar, radios, and life support in the ship. Nodding when he felt he completed his job he leaned back in his seat and waited. Now it was all a waiting game, command would have the ship on an auto course out of the atmosphere. "5.....4.....3....2....1...Ignition."
With the ignition sequence the entire ship shuddered to life as the rockets blasted at full power. The ship quickly lifted from the platform and was sent through the sky at an alarming rate. Chewie grunted some as he held onto his handles tightly, feeling the G's rocking through his body. Jak, Callum, and Lunira fared no better as they breathed heavily in their suits, the G's coursing through them like butter. Then they all felt it, they all felt the weightlessness that space offers. Feeling the G's suddenly drop off and the life support kick on, causing pressure and gravity to flood into the cabin of the ship. Jak moved forward to unbuckle himself as he removed his helmet and took in a deep breath and grinned, bouncing in his seat a little. "We are still alive people! Ha!"
"Oh what a great thing to say." Replied Callum as he removed his helmet as well, taking in a breath of fresh man made air. Sighing some he leaned back in his seat and unbuckled himself, his legs stretching out as he leaned down and looked at the computer. "We are on course. We won't need to make any adjustments until we are about to warp."
"Righto, and I am reading full structure intergerity. We are 100 percent guys, no problems on my end." Said Chewie, his helmet still on as he read the data off the small computer that rested in front of him. Finally moving his hands to his helmet he unclasped the buckles and removed it, setting it on the floor next to him. With the his helmet off he unbuckled himself and stretched his arms out as he looked over to Lunira. "You hanging in there toots?"
Lunira finally opened her eyes as she heard them all talking and sighed deeply as she removed her helmet and coughed a few times before looking over to Jak, giving him a mean glare for the comment he had made about surviving. "Idiot.." She said before she looked over to Chewie and blinked at him a few times. "Yeah, I am doing good..Toots." She mocked some as she unbuckled herself and stood up in the cabin. The cabin was actually spacious for a space craft, the two pilots sat up front, three medium sized windows let them see out into the great beyond. Chewie sat behind the Co-pilot nestled in a nice little corner, the computer still reading off data. Lunira on the other hand just sat in one of the passenger seats, as the small med bay had no chairs in it for take off. Instead it had a few machines bolted down, and a fold up medical bed. It was small, but then again so was their crew. As they sliced through space, the engines automatically thrusted down to about 30 percent to save on fuel, they still had about a thousand miles before they would reach their warp point.
Jak and Callum yawned as they leaned back in their seats and looked at eachother. "So, we got about three hours before we reach our warp point. Let's catch a quick nap here alright?" Said Jak and in return Callum nodded and shrugged. "No objections here. Gotta be fresh for that, too risky to be doing it sleepy." Replied Callum as he closed his eyes, not objecting to that plan at all. Chewie still sat in front of the computer as he kept his eyes scanning the data. He had an important job, if anything went wrong, he would be the first to know, and the first to figure out a solution. He had no time for naps of such so he stayed put on his chair, not faultering from his screen now. Lunira scoffed some and just shook her head as she moved over to the med bay and pressed a button on the panel that rested next to the door. The door slid open to reveal the white interior of the bay as she stepped in. If they were going to nap, well so was she, but she was smart. She would be taking a nap on the fold up bed used for examining and treating people. Leaning over the bed she quickly opened it and set it on all fours before pulling herself onto it, resting on her stomach she sighed before closing her eyes and drifting off into a sleep. "Next destination, unknown.." She said in a whisper.
