My ships not [i]that[/i] small....
But then again, we small ships will dance around that big flying brick of a hive all day long.... ;)
Also, I imagine my ship will probably want to hang out with the Icarus. And I mean that literally, Valerie for all intents and purposes [i]is[/i] the ship, and she'll like having another AI (or two) to talk to.

More to come as needed

[hider=Pre-Departure Scene]

The mood on the bridge of the Valorous Intent was a sombre one.

Captain Rhea Shohashi stood at the helm station awaiting the order to slipstream. She had decided to fly the ship herself for what felt like the journey to its final battle. The Intent’s destination was, ultimately, Fountainhead - the homeworld of the Nietzschean people. The High Guard would regroup and prepare for the attack at the Witchhead Nebula first.

Rhea had thought for a long time about whether she would go through with this. It was one thing to stand with the Commonwealth over her Nietzschean brothers and sisters. It was entirely another to participate in the attack on the homeworld of her people, even if it would stop this senseless war. But to stand down and not fight would, in the long run, be her death. As a Nietzscean, it was her duty, her very purpose, to survive, to cheat death by any means. That was why she stood here today, a loyal member of the High Guard, protecting what remained of the Systems Commonwealth. All in the name of survival.

She was broken from her reverie by the voice of the ships AI, affectionately called Valerie by the crew, and the pale face the AI had chosen appearing on the rightmost of the three rectangular screen that dominated the front of the bridge. “The fleet will is in formation. Slipstream in five… four… three… two…”

“Streaming.” Rhea said as she activated the Valorous Intents Slipstream drive, tearing a hole in space in front of the ship before diving headlong into the twisting, unnatural realm. The screen in front of Rhea showed the slipstream rails in front of her, and in the distance, further along the same rail this ship was on, she could make out the reassuring silhouette of a Glorious Heritage class cruiser. All seemed to be going as it should, until moments before they were supposed to arrive. Valerie’s hologram appeared next to the helm station and started speaking immediately, with an unusual urgency in her voice “Captain I’m detecting an unknown -” She was cut off as everything flashed white and everyone on the ship was thrown forward in a sudden complete deceleration. “Radiation.” She finished, the hologram the only figure on the bridge not affected by force. Rhea picked herself up from the floor slowly, even her Nietzschean enhanced strength not being enough to save her from being thrown clear of the navigation station, and looked around her bridge. It was a mess, with High Guard officers sprawled unceremoniously across the floor. “That was [i]not[/i] a normal Slipstream exit.” She said as other officers began picking themselves up. She spoke again, this time with some trepidation as to the answer.

“Where are we?”
