[color=green]"I'll 'moth-handle' when I need to."[/color]  Jess said.  As the ship lurched forward, she felt her weight going back.  Instinctively, she grabbed onto a small pole for just such an occassion.  Her other arm grabbed the Myrkith engineer and held tight.  Well, Jess should have expected this much with a Myrkith captain and pilot.  She took a look back at Harisa... Well, she prepared Mag-Boots for when they needed to go to the exterior of the ship to repair.  [color=green]"How smart of you."[/color] Jess stated to the woman as the ship went into warp and stabilized.   She released her hold on the moth and patted him on the head.  [color=green]"Hope you didn't mind a little 'moth-handling' there."[/color]

In the cockpit, Cherche was just glad she was sitting down.  Her entire body was tense from the sudden take-off.  Had she been prepared she'd be fine but... Actually, was Engineering fine? The Med-bay?  She was about to turn to question the captain when she heard a voice come over comms.  [color=teal]"WHAT IN THE ACTUAL HELL!?"[/color]  The voice exclaimed, angry or irritated.  That was definitely Miss Yamada.  [color=teal]"Make sure you warn us next time you decide to stress the ship like that!"[/color] She continued. Yea, that was definitely angry.  [color=teal]"You're damn lucky all the tools were mag-locked down cause it'd b-- Hey!"[/color]  The voice seemed to be faint... Until another picked up.

[color=green]"Hey! Yea... Please give us a warning down here next time.  Or, you know, take it easy? Inertia is still a hazard even with artificial gravity.  We have dangerous tools down here. Fragile ones even.  Will be up on deck when warp ends."[/color]  That was Jess, trying to ease Yamada it seemed.  She didn't give the captain time to respond either...  Well, there was a bit of time before warp ended.

[hr]

Warp travel shortens the amount of time traveled significantly, and the time to their first destination was only about four hours, compared to the many hundreds of years on thrusters.  Cherche had stepped away for a bit.  There was little to do as far as pilots go during warp, so that much should be fine.  The engineering bay had gotten their things back in order, though that was mostly their not feeling like jelly.  She returned to her seat and looked at the estimated arrival time... Five minutes.  She tapped on the comms unit set into the dash that called to the whole ship.  [color=violet]"Ladies and Gentlemen.  We are about to come out of warp, if you'd like to witness this first step in our exploration then please come to the front of the ship."[/color]

Whoever showed up on time was lucky to witness the first planet in the ECS Stellaria's history.  What came into view was a lush world of green.  Eyeballing the one side, it looked like 50% of the world was forest of some kind and the other was water.  The planet definitely [i]seemed[/i] habitable.  There were a couple of massive mountain ranges though.  Without a thorough reading yet, Harisa estimated they were likely the size of Mt. Everest back on Terra.  In orbit, there were actually two moons circling the planet, one seemed similar to Luna back on Terra and the other looked highly metallic.  Like a giant ball of iron got trapped in the planets gravity.  There were two points on the planet one might call the north and south poles, though there was a very, very small amount of snow at the very tip tops.  The planet seemed a bit hot over all.

[color=green]"What a beautiful first planet to encounter.  I'm excited to get down there and see what's there."[/color]  Jess said, hopping up and down on her heels.

[color=teal]"I'll just stay and watch the ship."[/color] Harisa wanted to make sure she wasn't expected to leave.
