Reuniting a Man with his Machines

The tiny communicator was loud. Enough to make out a few words at a close distance, however he wanted to keep his attention to his own equipment rather than prying another researcher on their classified research.

"Let's see how much dust my equipment has gathered."

The room was quite large, empty shelving on all sides, a singular large curved light in the centre of the ceiling, lighting up the room. In a pile most would describe as an organized mess was all the equipment Albert has left behind here. Fully intending on assembling his lab here, Albert's plans were many and all of them were to not see the light of day if he continued to study here. Familiarity with Tau-23 and his constant head-butting with Sailas would eventually drive him mad. In any case, Albert walks up to one of the larger mountains of hardware and places his hand on the tarp. Knowing what it is due to the shape and size, the tarp is pulled off. Albert stands back, taking a deep breath in. What stands before him is a fully functional holographic simulation suite, complete with a full control panel to set variables for such tests.

"I remember performing De Marco's tests using this."

Silence fills the room for the moment. The team still, as no instructions were given yet. Albert raised his hand and motioned the team to start moving the smaller items into the Arcturus. Two switches were flipped on the underside of the suite. It took a few moments for the holographic display to start flickering on, showing the results of De Marco's jump drive tests. The eyes of the Starflier lit up, before his equipment suddenly powers off, dimming the lights in his eyes. Quickly looking around, no power conduit was seen connected to the unit. Albert considers the possibility of the hardware still having enough charge to turn on before shutting down a few seconds later. After acknowledging the fact that suite had never been used since it's relocation, he turns to Sailas with a slight change in his demeanor.

"You will very likely won't see me again after this. Godspeed on your biodome project, I'm sure you will need it. If anything comes up, Dr. Emery will be who I will next address it with."

The Starfliers are the best faction.
