Last minute cram sessions had been far and few between in John's upbringing. Relegated to a few times in flight school for the most part. 

But even John could admit that glossing over a colony ship's six thousand page manual while walking through a colony station in the tow of an ensemble of characters was a first. His TacPad scrolling through diagrams and procedures as he followed vaguely in the cluster en-route to the ship.

"I will when we're onboard," Velia assured the pilot, "For now, don't stress, we have a pilot with us."

It wasn't far to where the shuttered boarding tunnel was, which Velia opened with a key card she'd had in an inner pocket of her jacket, "Okay, everyone in," she motioned to the group as a whole to get moving quickly, "Don't dawdle."

She had no intention of leaving the gate open and getting a hostile crowd try to storm the ship, "We're pretty much ready to move," she called to the person she thought had said they were an engineer, "Stocked up for colonial planting and with supplies for a month for a crew.  There's a number of people in cryo-sleep already, but I'd suggest we need to get anyone who isn't going to be of use running the ship into one of those to avoid eating all the supplies."

"Pilots, get us ready to fly and let me know.  Then I will contact the Station Supervisor to let people know we are ready to board."

“So. You're the Gloriont of the Gendari, right?” Sarve practically towered over the Gendari, even as he was seated on his mobility scooter. “Overprelate and Keeper of the Sacred Flame? I'll have to apologize for the scare that Verminslayer here must have caused you,” the Morelian spoke as the cat just… sat on his head. “You musn’t fear. She only catches mice and rats, and other tiny things. She recognises that you're a sapient.” The cat purred as he petted her with one of his prehensile tongues. “A small one, that is. Like a baby. She gets along well with babies. I imagine you'll get along well too, yes?”

The Gloriont blinked at Sarve, looking ill and a little pale before pointing at the corpse on the floor, "Do those eyes on your head work, or can you truly not see [i]that[/i]?   It’s them!  Bugs!  Frelling bugs! I saw it!  This station is overrun!  We need to get out of here before they chew us both into appropriately sized pieces for your little Hezmana spawn to eat!"

"Quick!" he declared, apparently assuming Sarve would do what he said, "We need to get onto that Colony ship!"
