[i]Boom![/i] Up above in the bright blue sky, the sound of Vale's tax dollars could be heard being spent as the cargo ship's escorts blew up another Nevermore that had gotten much too close for comfort. It had been about two hours since the ship had left port from one of Vale's southern cities and the most interesting thing that had happened was the occasional "fireworks show" above. If the action so far was anything to show of how the senior's mission would go, it seemed that this would be the easiest lien they'd probably ever make in their lives.

On the ship's bridge, the coolheaded crew all seemed to be working hard at keeping the ship running in tip top shape, but as long as they had the escort above and the sonar giving them an early warning below, they felt just as bored as anyone else. In fact, things were running so well that [url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/hunterxhunter/images/0/08/Captain_2011.PNG/revision/latest?cb=20120110035309]the captain[/url] had begun wandering the top deck, looking to talk with the huntsmen-in-training that were on board his vessel. After all, these were prestigious students of Beacon already in the last year of their education. They must hear the amazing tales of his seafaring adventures so they could spread them back at school and to future generations. Taking a puff from his pipe, Captain Korallion approached whichever member of Team HTTS that was unfortunate enough to be spotted first, ready to talk their ear off about the 'good old days.'

Another possible location to waste time at, if one didn't care for watching the waves or seeing how a cargo ship is run, was the crew's quarters. Here one could instead play a game of cards with those were currently off duty and, if their luck was good enough, walk away from this mission with a nice bonus. Cheating was of course another option, though making enemies on the open water with nowhere to escape to wouldn't be the smartest move.

Finally, for those looking for solitude or to be an edgy loner, there was also the cargo hold where one could be in relative silence. It was completely empty of people and one could easily read or try to catch up on procrastinated assignments if they weren't the diligent type. It was also the deepest point of the ship other than the engine room and whoever chose to stay there would be at the greatest disadvantage if/when an attack came.
