"Ok" Stryker said to Kaeci "Well like Carver said, there's no rush. We can head aboard and talk a little while we wait, if you both wanted. We're gonna be spending some time together, might as well get a little familiar right?"
Stryker walked up the ramp to the ship turning to see if the newcomers would follow, Carver had already disappeared inside to begin pre-flight checks.

Grayson had just finished putting on his armor and making some last minute calibrations when Amy walked in.
"Alright lass, nice and simple" he said, walking across to the workbench her armor was sprawled out on "I added on the extra layer of plating to the exposed joints like we said, ditto for some armor on your visor. Now, the real important thing, I've wired in a little sensor, similar to a standard IFF system, friend or foe identity system that is. Runs at all times in the background, so when you're looking at any of us, the sensor detects the IFF beacons in our suits, lets you know that whoever's nearby is a friendly. Now, when you're looking at an enemy, the sensor pings them as such and sets off a little warning signal in your earpiece. It's a small thing, but it could give ya a big advantage out in the field."
He walked over and leaned in to embrace Amy "Stay safe out there alright?"

SAL picked his weaponry up after the meeting was done and began to walk down to the Cargo Bay to ensure the shuttles were ready to go. As he passed the common area on the Crew Deck, he noticed people from the Maelstrom, Mr. Vulcaan and one of the Thane twins, as well as Lataniva and Joe gathered around the largest table, chatting as they prepared for the fight.
".... that godsdamned left shoulder piece is a little crotchety Jen, help an old man out and secure it please?"
"Sure thing Rob, just hold still a minute" the young lady said, as she stepped up, she turned to Joe "So what were you saying?"
"Oh right, er, the left drive core hit a leak last week during a ship-wide systems malfunction, so if there's any issues at all with the ignition systems, it's probably that, I've been lacking the proper resources to fix it, so it's just patched up for the moment. Other than that, you shouldn't run into any trouble with the ship."
Lataniva shifted her gaze over to SAL, looking almost bored with the proceedings as she adjusted her belt of knives. SAL, having nothing to add to the conversation, and sensing time was short, proceeded on to his task.

Kira needed to speak to her brother, they always spoke for a minute before heading into battle, especially when they had separate combat assignments, but when she found him, he was deep in conversation with Juliette. The two had gotten close over the last few months and Kira suspected that it was getting serious. Good for him, he'd never quite been the same after whatever happened when his gunship was shot down over Carren IV during the war. Good for her too, Kira considered, her and her sister have been through so much, even before their war hero father was executed by Federation insurgents. She hung back until the two broke their embrace. As Juli passed Kira, she flashed a supportive smile to the younger girl, then carried on to speak with Marcus.

Kira's voice rang through the ship.
"All hands report to your stations, all hands to stations"

Standing in the cockpit just behind the pilots seat, Kira took in the sight of the massive pirate vessel as they approached to its rear. It was awe-striking, and somewhat terrifying, given that the Revenant was less than a quarter of the cruiser's size, but there'd be time to appreciate these things later, they had a job to do. Through the open door of the cockpit, Kira looked over her shoulder to see the gun crew taking their places, some of the Revenant mainstays had shown them how to handle the ship's weapon stations. The boarding party was getting secure down below.

"Alright Mr. Sepitan" Kira said to the ship's skeletal pilot "This is your boat, so it's only fitting you get to fire the opening salvo. Take us in."
