Previously - 5P - Ship Log 3 - Job 1 - Depart for CL
On the Bridge of the Magic Carpet
Melody on view screen. "Height 300 km, speed 27358 kph and increasing."
Rosie, on coms, "Tower, this is Echo Romeo Tango Tango 74656 - Magic Carpet, we have visual on Wheel 1, 100 km plus distant, please confirm departure vector clear of traffic."
Tower, "Wheel one departures reports no change, you are clear to pass through their 100 km outer sphere zone. Please set Navigation Transponder to send 10 minute updates and report when ready to jump. Tower out"
Rosie, "Understood, Clear to pass outer zone, 10 minute squawk and report when set to jump. Magic Carpet, listening out."
Captain Martin, "That was a very smooth departure Rosie, Well done."
Rosie shrugs it off, "Just a stroll down the lane, Captain."
Martin looks over at the other crew member on the bridge, "Anything showing up on Tactical, David ?"
Dave replies, "Not a bleep, apart from the Wheel 1 beacon. Tower reported that there were no scheduled departures for today, just a sky-bike coming from the Shack to pick up supplies for the Vac Jockeys at Wheel 2."
Martin, "Ok, you can switch everything over to automatic, long range and short range scanning as usual and...."
The door opens and in walks Lucy, looking sternly at the Captain, "And David can take it from here. You are now officially off duty."
Martin retorts, "But we haven't plotted the Jump Sequence yet !"
Lucy replies, "Then it will be good practice for them, won't it ? They can do it independently of each other and if they get the numbers differently then Melody can check both sets for errors. Agreed ?"
"Well..."
"Any other answer will get you confined to quarters with no computer access.", insisted Lucy.
"Agreed. David, you have command."
Dave, "I have command."
Lucy, "Now then, Martin, how about a nice game of Ma Jong ?"
She escorts him off the bridge.
Dave, "Right, lets get that sequence out of the way and then we can set the watch."
To be continued...

P.S. I have just ordered a few little bits from Angel Barracks, to spice things up a bit.
