Several redeploy-able mining bases were passed as the Milano went through the asteroid field of Pressy’s Tumble as the sound of smaller, unmonitored, asteroids hitting the ships shield in an irregular rhythm. A few moments ago that rhythm was slightly deviated from by the sound of a few small things hitting the hull of the ship. A barely noticeable difference, but there nonetheless. The ship had a short journey of sharp turns and sudden boosts behind it when the asteroid field started thinning as they came up upon the monitoring station. The place where the ship would be scanned for inspection. While the field thereafter was shifting at a slower pace than the inner field, but was still dangerous to unexperienced pilots. That was why Pressy’s Tumble had its set of defences here; a small Ion battery that worked of the threat of losing control over your ship while in the middle of the asteroids. A small hangar with TIE Fighters provided a bit more reach. The problem with the monitoring station, as the crew had already heard from Jacque, was that it picked up static from the asteroids. More often than not you would be boarded without reason to check a harmless piece of plating on the inside of the ship. This of course came to mind when a voice crackled over the ships comms: [i]“This is Flight control, you just entered the guidance area of Monitoring post 3. Slave control to 1890BZ2 and power off any interfering signals.” [/i] Procedure would have them be scanned as they passed and the channel they would be slaved to would either guide them out or towards the boarding tunnel for inspection after an announcement from the monitoring post. It should be fine, and then they could be underway to this mysterious scientist called Ator Kaluun that Kruss had been talking about.
