Ace sat at the helm with his arms crossed, watching with care every action that the navigational AI took to establish an orbit around the planet as the ship neared it. It's not that he was distrustful of computers, he merely wanted to see just what kind of adjustments he would have to do to that ship's navigational AI. Of course, there was also the opportunity to make a good impression by being careful. "High orbit established." The AI's voice, a female, sultry voice, came from the ship's console. "Thank you, Dora." He said as he reached for the controls to make a tiny attitude adjustment, setting the ship up for the transfer to a lower orbit.

Suddenly, the intercom came to life and he looked up before nodding. "Okay, Dora, lock the controls, please." He said as he stood up from the pilot's chair. "Helm controls locked." Dora replied in the same sultry tone as before. Ace chuckled, wondering who had been the one to give the ship's computer such a voice, the kind that gave teenagers wet dreams. "Good evening, Captain. The ship is on a high orbit, waiting for the order to transfer to low orbit for insertion." Ace said as he walked into the briefing room, before noticing he wasn't the only person that had arrived earlier. He looked at the girl as he moved to sit down, trying to remember her name, but failing. "Good evening, miss... sorry, I forgot your name." He said as he sat down, looking at her again. He was a new member of the crew as well, though, so there were many people he didn't know just yet, though he was sure he had exchanged a few courtesy words with her before.
