<30th of November, 2:31 AM - 2009>

Fuchu Prison, Shikoku system


The director of the Fuchu prison steps into his small office on the station, seeing small amount of paperwork and sighs. "Another day.", he calmly says, as he sits into his chair and starts looking at the papers he received on his desk.

One of the papers is addressed directly to him, the sender appears to be Ageira Technologies, scientist Hal Zorov. He thinks a bit, and opens it. In it, it says, "Greetings, director. I and the rest of my scientists, as well as the crew that is responsible for flying this research vessel, we all thank you for notifying us of mr. Fernando Habnez's release from the prison, as our company seen him as a future security officer among our ranks. After all, your prison changed him into a better man. Be well, and take care, director. All salutations, dorctor Zorov.".

Prison director chuckles slighty and smiles, and then puts it away, continuing his work.




Betlehem Station, Pennsylvania System



Research Vessel E-207 is docked currently at the station, although the crew is getting ready for researches and the discovery scanner has been installed onto the ship. The last of the prison cells are being recreated into the laboratories.

Navigation and first officer Jean De'Sauan looks at his wrist clock, and thinks to himself, "We still got a few hours left.", and looks at the navigational computer, approaching it slowly. He types in the password and it comes online. He puts in some information, and a female computer voice says, "Texas system mapping queued. Kusari space mapping queued. Awaiting captain's approval.". He nods, and sets the computer on standby. He leaves the bridge and takes an elevator to the boarding ramp and then to the Betlehem Station's mess hall.

At the mess hall, he runs into Fernando, the research ship's security security and gunnery officer, and Habnez says to him as a greeting, "Howdy there, Galliman. How ya doin'?", and chuckles. Jean replies, with lowered tone, "No need to call me Galiman, you old Corsair fossil.", Jean chuckles then, as he turns towards Habnez's meal, "And you eat the food that's not even good. But otherwise...", he sighs, "I'm good, thank you.", and thinks a bit, "Have you finished checking the weapon systems and made sure they work well? We might be going into dangerous territories after going through Kusari.".

Fernando replies with a calm voice, "I've tested it, I've cleaned, repaired if it needed repair. It takes a lot of time due to the size of the ship, even with the help of one of the engineers. We're a small crew, too. Don't ya be an idiot, I know what I'm doing.", he chuckles and points at the captain, eating with doctor Zorov at the other end of the mess hall, "The only one who can order me around, is that guy over there. Be sure ya make yer own work, too. 20 years of prison didn't steal my knowledge of ships.".

"Bah.", Jean De'Sauan waves his hand, "I'm not going to argue about work with you.", and leaves towards the food serving place, ordering some food.

After 3 hours, the crew met at the boarding ramp. Captain Hartman briefed the crew again, "Alright, boys and a girl, we'll be leaving towards Texas first, to get some resources for the long travels we'll have. Then to Kusari, since our scientists from Kusari will require some... disks and notebooks about those strange things, artifacts and the organisms that we may find on our travels. So, be ready, once our science team comes, we'll be leaving. Dismissed.". The captain enters the ship, and heads towards the bridge.

Cyndia Sanders, ship engineer and repairswoman, asks John Farson, quite quickly and smiles slightly, "So, you ready for the long travels aboard this ship? It's quite scary, isn't it?". John smiles, and nods slowly, "It is. I've heard it used to be darker, but the scientists made it bright, so it shouldn't be as scary. I just hope I've made enough modifications to the outer hull so it'll protect us from all the radiation we might come in contact with.".

Cyndia laughs for a moment, "You spent a few days working on that, I'm sure it'll be alright!", and smiles. John replies, "Heh, thanks. Oh, be sure to teach your student over there, so he won't be too confused if we run into trouble.". She nods, and looks at the young Joey Stampson, an electronics student, looking at the maps of the ship's electronics, studying them thoroughly.

After about 5 minutes after the short conversation between the two engineers ended, the science team came, and Zorov said, "Alright, crew, get ready. We've got some work to do. We will be launching extremely soon.".
