The aircraft's engines began to spin down at the Captain's gesture, but they did, Krauss couldn't help but chuckle. As if he was just gonna take off again, right? That aside, he climbed out the cockpit and began working with the deck hands to move the AV-44 into the hangar bay. He began first, with the help of a crew member, unlocking the folding joints of the aircraft manually, before climbing into the cockpit again to turn on the motors to rotate the wings flush with the fuselage. Then he and the rest of the deck crew, rolled the aircraft into the hangar. It was a small space, so it was a snug fit, but they got the airplane in non the less. Thanking the crew, Krauss began to make his way to the bridge.
Krauss had met Captain Conway before, as to arrange plans and discuss the aircraft that would be aboard his new vessel. While gruff and stubborn, the man had garnished Krauss's respect through their dealings. He admired his no nonsense attitude and focus on practicality. Krauss had also become somewhat acquainted with the crew, particularly the deck hands and maintenance staff who would be working on his special baby. However, Krauss hadn't had the chance to meet some of the passengers of the ship.
He had read some of the files of the people he would be fairing, thanks to a friend in UINC, and they seem to have a pretty varied crew on board. However, one thing made him... uneasy. While they could encounter dangers out exploring, most would be of the natural kind, according to Krauss, so why bother with having specially trained mercs with this voyage? What were they really expecting to face out there.
Krauss shook his head, trying to rid them of these thoughts. He needed to keep an open mind about these people and the true intentions of this voyage.
Krauss, was making his way down the hallway when the boat had suddenly lurched. Grabbing the handrail on onside of the corridor, he quickly caught himself and road the surge. "Damn, I guess we've hit the Ring of Thunder now. Probably going to feel a few more of those before the day ends." he mumbled to himself as he now, with a more cautious approach, made his way to the bridge.
Upon entering the bridge, he spotted Captain Conway among his crew. They seem to be focusing intensly on getting their craft through the rough waters in one piece, so Krauss decided to make his visit a short as possible. "Mr. Conway, I hate to bother you at a time like this, but I'm just dropping off the post-flight checklist for you. I know you do not expressly need it, but I figured you would want to know whether this new fangled flying machine will or won't blow up your vessel here." Krauss handed over the folder to the Captain. "Oh, and I can say with 90% certainty it wont. Everything went according to plan, and it seems it will stay that way for the time being." he said with a grin.
