Sorry... I'm studying for my A-Levels, right now. The written exams will be over in 2 weeks, so I'll have more time for bigger and more frequent posts then, but I'll try my best to post at least every weekend if this is still going on ;)

P.S.: The A-Levels are the High-school graduation exams here in Germany. Extremely difficult, lots of people fail and I have to make sure, I'm not one of them :)
Luna stepped out of the landing craft and pressed a button on the side of the ship. With an audible hissing the whole side moved outwards and transformed into a platform.
"I call this, the picnic button.", she exclaimed smiling as the comstation and the chairs and tables unfolded.
"I'll make sure I'll stay in contact with you, in case you're planning to wander around", she told the crew and plopped down on one of the chairs as the sunroof unfolded with her handgun placed on the table in front of her.
Luna swirled around to face the Commander.
"Don't worry, Capt'n, I took my mental exams. I'm completely fine now. Like I said, only the first couple ones are terrible. It gets easier with every next one. I'm at the stage where I can proudly paint my kills on the nose of my fighter."
A very cheeky grin appeared on her face and she let the console boop with a tap of her finger.
"Well, then. Let's get this girl airborne, shall we?"
Playfully Luna let the engines of the dropship roar for a moment.
"Mhhh... sounds good. You might want to seek somewhere to strap yourself into", she suggested to the Commander.
Grinning she grabbed the intercom.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your pilot speaking. We're good for takeoff! Let's get this party started, eh?"
Sorry, sorry. Having finals right now, I'll write something when I'm back from school, kay?
Hope that wasn't too dark and stuff for ya. But a sci-fi should have something like that, IMO xD
Luna shifted around a bit in her seat making herself as comfortable as possible. "I don't mind at all. Just relax and stuff and soak in the beautiful view."
She cracked her knuckles and leaned back.

"Well... I'm not really that exciting. Just a regular Alliance pilot." She shrugged. "Born on the moon... basically been flying since I've been a little girl. My father was a pilot, my mother was a pilot. Piloting lies in my blood, I guess. Right as I graduated from Pilot Academy, I got deployed in the Ceres Buccaneer Crisis. That was something, I guess."

She turned to face Dex. "Have you ever killed somebody? Even if it was 'just' a pirate? I mean, it's probably different if you're directly face to face with the enemy on a ground combat level, but still. I'll never forgot the sight of the pirate fighter going up in flames caused by my guns. It gets easier the second time, but only a bit."
She laughed.
"Sorry, got dark there for a bit. I'm normally pretty chill."
Luna popped open the diagnostics panel and stared at what it showed on its screen.
"Damned software... it's supposed to inform me about any maintenance issues... ugh!" she groaned and shook her head. "Not that important, I have to check it manually for a while, then."
She looked over the results of the diagnosis with a slight frown.
"Yep, you're right. This certainly has to be fixed before take-off." Grumbling she sent a notice to the hangar engineers to fix all the issues immediately.
Finally she turned to face Dex. "Thanks for keeping your eyes open, I guess. I'm Luna. Luna Callahan and I will be your pilot today."
She grinned relieved after her anger about buggy diagnostic software.
Her helmet still off Luna typed away on the console in front of her adjusting the flight parameters inputting any atmospherical data the probes managed to gather. To make a successful entrance into this foreign environment she needed every information she could gather.
A short while later, Luna still absorbed in adjusting her ship, she barely heard the scavenger entering the Co-Pilot's seat.
Only when he asked her about the model of her bird, Luna turned her head to face him.

To her he looked like someone stuck in time, like some kind of freak space dandy, but with an added amount of smugness that hinted at more. Definitely not military, she gathered. Scientist...? Unlikely. Probably a mercenary. Or a freelancer. Not that it particularly mattered to her.
Everybody here had a reason for why they were here and Luna certainly wasn't in the spot to criticise anybody. Hell, she herself only signed up for this expedition on the bidding of the Euro-East science group which provided her with both of her ships.

"Phantom Claw, Ravager-class Dropship, modified. Has enough space down there to fit a medium sized strike fighter. Defensively, it can endure the impact of a medium sized asteroid. Offensively, you can pimp this baby up to be able to take out a frigate all by itself. Of course, for this mission we have not mounted the offensive weaponry except for the standard equipment, aka the three gun turrets, top, bottom, rear, and the frontal mortar."
All while she was saying this, Luna grinned smugly.
I do hope you like your new pilot ;)
Comfortably in the pilot's seat Luna sat reclined with her feet on the pilot's console of her dropship an hour before scheduled launch staring at the photo-images the extravehicular cameras of the exploration probe took.
This was it... the ultimate challenge for a pilot. A completely new world no human craft has ever touched the atmosphere of. Nobody could prepare Luna for the challenges of this brand new environment. Finally she could show people her worth, her training could at last bear fruit.

When the first announcement sounded through the hangar, Luna groaned a bit and put her feet down to where they usually belong and closing the photo-images. With the other hand she nonchalantly presses the warm-up button for the engines.

"Engine start authorized, Pilot. We'll have payload in no time.", the commander came over comms.

"Aye, aye! Hop in and strap yourselves up, my lovelies. It's gonna be a tough ride. Barf bags are underneath everybody's seats. If you vomit over my ship, you'll have scrubbing duties after touchdown.", Luna calmly, but not without her usual sarcastic tone, let the exterior loudspeakers holler.
