[i]"Oh, and you'd be the one piloting the transport shuttle, not me."[/i]

"Heh" Stryker chuckled to himself "We'll see sparky, see you on the bridge"
[i]'Lucky if I don't shove him out the airlock'[/i] he thought as he walked away.

It was at that moment that Dawson and a half-dozen guards arrived.
"All right you lot, shut it!" Dawson shouted as he took his place in the center of the room "Now we just received a transmission that the last two shuttles are a little late, so it's just as well that the engineers and dockhands are behind schedule in getting the Revenant ready to depart. We'll hold off the briefing until the other two arrive, so in the meantime, lets take a tour"

Dawson began to walk towards the walkway leading to the ship, then doubled back.
"Little bit of housekeeping first, the Alliance has set aside a tidy little fund for this project. There's a terminal on the crew deck where you can place requisition requests, anything that's approved will be brought onboard at the next port. Next, the ship is completely wired with a full suite of surveillance equipment, any attempt to hack, disable or otherwise tamper with the equipment will result in the entire ship's system being shut down, so unless you all feel like being stranded in the Expanse, I'd keep my hands off. If there's anything else, I'm forgetting it, so any questions?"
