“Captain,” Dalkalo said, “I can set up the autopilot which can get us through the hyper-lanes, but coming out to close to a planet would be tricky without an experienced pilot. We would have to project ourselves safely out of the pull of the planets gravity.”

Dalkalo thought to himself before speaking again.

“If anyone knows how yo pull a ship out of a HyperLane, that’d be great,” Dalkalo said optimistically. The training and investment cost just to get training in the matter is substantial unless your family teaches you, but you mainly find those hicks in outer worlds. Not completely impossible.

@Kale19 Yes, it is still open. Aliens do exist. And I would say as long as your character is... humanoid.

Dalkalo’s head shot up as he heard the Captain speak and he stood, turning to the captain.

“I can assure you Captain,” Dalkalo said sternly, “I as well as, Ryker, both know that when this ship is in empty space, we only have each other as well as everyone on the ship.” He barely motioned to Ryker when he spoke.

“I would hope,” he said folding his hands, “a prior ISF soldier can tell the difference between friend and foe.”

‘General Patterson,’ Dalkalo thought to himself, ‘I wonder if thats the senior or junior Patterson.’

@Zora Hey yeah! No problem. We can give Sylvan@Sylvan as much time as needed. Speaking of which, sickness sucks! Get better soon!

Oh and I’m playing along with this Ryker feud thing. I can imagine they wouldn’t know each other but this could be great character development for Dalkalo’s Mental state and since just about everyone from Dalkalos home
World look nearly the same, if @HEAVY METAL wants to go a different direction, you can.

Just to clear some misinformation: Dalkalo spoke out due to the introduction of Ryker to Debaker. He was a Navigator for ISF Battleships and he saw the way Ryker spoke to the captain as Immediate disrespect. Ryker did exactly what I thought he was going to as a Professional Member of Security, when he snapped to attention etcetc.

…am I looking to much into this? Or was an explanation necessary?

“Yes…” Dalkalo said pointing his glaring eyes to April, “it is wrong of me, to be annoyed over ten years of oppression.” He tapped the tanks hanging tightly to his back. Taking a breath in.

He started mumbling to himself, before telling April, “Sorry. Got a little sucked into the moment there. Nothing against you.” He pressed a button on his wrist turning a few lights off on his mask, “I’m going to go fix my suit.”

Dalkalo walked to a seat viewing off into the hangar. He used the same three pronged tool to fix the speaker amplifier he had removed. He fixed his eyes on three people staring at him. All standing opposite of April, Steve, and DeBaker. Shadows of people they once were.

‘Not real,’ he murmured to himself, ‘at least not anymore.’ The lights on his mask came back to life as he reinstalled his module. The shadows disappeared out og sight, and out of mind, at least for the time being.

“I’m sure he would want to come aboard, Captain,” Dalkalo said crossing his arms, “not everyday you run into one of the Secfo keeping us trapped on our planet. What was it you secfo’s said, ‘a hazard to life itself.’ Can only imagine what he did, that landed him in prison.” Dalkalo chuckled.

“Where’d I last see you,” he said leaning towards Ryker, “was it before you were arrested,” he coughed, “never been myself.”

Short and late post!

“Thank you, Captain,” Dalkalo slightly bowed again before turning to his new comrades. He eyed them up and down before taking a place beside them. Three crewman, no pilot yet. That’s a first. Usually they are the first ones to take jobs considering how eager they are to get going.

"Hey honey, can ya tell the Captain, that Carl Ryker is here, he's expecting me. I'm the new security.” Dalkalo heard coming from the doorway. Ryker stood there with his foot tapping.

“Maybe you should be more professional,” he said stepping towards Ryker, “or is that how your type work? Shoot first ask questions later? A professional would recognize their captain when speaking to them.”

@HEAVY METAL Ah… yes… so this is where I remember you from. It is a shame to see this not get off the ground. I was hoping it would.
