This assignment was already proving to be worth it. In the span of few days not only did she got to fly one of the biggest ships Earth has ever constructed, but now she was bringing up the dropship from Area 51 as well. The design was appallingly utilitarian, reminding her more of a Tel'Tak inspired box rather than a ship of any sort. Still, the only thing left on her list now was the R-547, and she'd figure out some way to get her hands on it's stick.

Guiding the craft into the docking port on the side of the Nyx, she let the airlock cycle and told the deckhands where the supplies they brought on board were to go. She read those were some components for new weapons systems and remembered Philip mentioning something about that. Kat slung her luggage on her shoulder and walked to her quarters.

Her cabin was located on the command deck, something she both liked and disliked. It wasn't her thing to distinguish herself from the crew, however it was better the CO was close to the C&C for one thing, and being on a different deck, either her or the XO would always live if a lucky strike pierced one of the decks and obliterated one of them.

The cabin itself was too big for her standards, but given that it was split into two compartments and also doubled as an office, she got over it. Truth to be told, the Nyx was a luxury liner for everyone compared to a 304, even the lowest grunt. Dumping her bag on the bed along the one she dropped off before, she could finally shed the god awful ground side uniform and change to the jumpsuit. They were just plain comfortable to start with.

She instructed the command crew to begin the pre-flight check and went to tour the ship to make sure all departments were ready.
