Moving In

[Wes]

The Emperor had arranged for Sana to be transported by aeroshuttle to Uesureyan Fields, Yamatai, which was normally a few hours drive to the south of Kyoto. The YSS Ongaku was perched on the massive landing pad, sitting right next to a Yui 4g-class Recon-Scout Destroyer labeled YD-523. The shuttle landed right out front of both starships and opened the back door that way Sana could exit and go to the new ships. The area looked fairly empty outside. There was a ramp running from the side hardpoint on the Nozomi-type ship down to the concrete and another going into the Yui-type one in front of one of its engines.

Sana slowly walked down the platform. Her eyes scanned around the vicinity of the ships. As she reached the end of the platform she stopped again, her eyes looked up to the YSS Ongaku and she smiled as she gazed there for a minute. She shook her head then walked towards the Ongaku still holding her duffel bag as she scanned down the sides while her mind raced through ambitious dreams. She walked to the ramp of the Ongaku while she looked up then proceeded up the ramp.

It was a beautiful ship, long and very curvy, with a sharp-looking edge and a sleek, fast-looking hull. The large outer door slid open automatically with a sharp hiss. Inside, there was a small room with silver walls and foldout benches on the sides. There was a door at the opposite end of the room, and another one on the side. Still no sign of any life.

Sana's ears perked while she listened carefully for anybody. She sighed, as she found no life the entrance area. She then she thought for a second while her mind snapped back to more logical thought. She stepped back out of the ship then looked for a intercom unit. She pressed the button then spoke softly on the unit just inside just before she finished leaving the ship "Nitô Hei Oshi Sana Reporting for duty"

The glossy black panel immediately lit up with in sky blue and pink. "Acknowledged," the ship's computer said. "How are you feeling today, Oshi-Nitô Hei?" it then asked. There was a slight hissing as the airlock cycled, and the door to the interior of the ship opened. It was an interesting-looking ship inside, with blue and black lights along the ceiling, and a vibrant purple carpet on the floor. The walls panels had been decorated with sparkles and painted with images of dancing Nekovalkyrja. Obviously, this was no ordinary Star Army ship inside.

Sana smiled as she watched the panel light up. Her eyes looked forward seeing the door open. She glanced back down to the panel then asked softly .

"Is there anyone else present aboard?" she started to ask anther question but stopped her self before she could, Sana waited for answer to the first request as she stood in the doorway. While she took in the images of the dancing Nekovalkyrja while she smiled appreciatively.

"I only have you in me, right now," the ship told Sana, suddenly taking a playful tone. "Welcome aboard!" it told her excitedly. "Kessaku-Taisa is on the Rave right now, getting her underwear." The ship was very quiet for a starship; most of the systems were probably offline while it was landed.

Sana giggled a little as the playful tone caught her of guard. She relaxed while she entered into the ship still enjoyed looking at the images. Sana listened then to the ship then responded, "Could you tell me a name that I could refer to you as? " Then she continued to slowly walk down the hall as she looked over all the images.

"I'm Rave. I was previously the computer for the ship next to this one, but Yuuko brought be to the new ship because she liked me," the ship's voice said. "I've got a body, too. It's on the bridge.
"
"Could you direct me to the bridge, Rave?" She asked as she focused back to the task at hand "By any chance, rave. Would you know where my quarters are located?"

"If you look down the hallway, it is the door you see at the end," Rave's disembodied voice told her. "Your sleeping nest is the first one on the left side. You'll have to go through or under the shuttlebay to get there. You'll probably find that navigating your way around this ship is easy once you get used to it."

Sana nodded slowly then started to walk down. She followed the directions as precise as she possibly could be. Slowly she moved down the hall while she took in the scenery as she walked under the shuttle bay she slipped down the hallway and stopped at the door after she swiftly moved down to the hall then stopped and asked "Rave? From here where is the bridge?"

Rave answered, "Your nest is to your left and the latrine is to your right. You passed the bridge. It is a straight course from where you are now. You'll have to go down the ladder and crawl under the shuttlebay again, then up the ladder into the hallway you passed through. The door to the bridge is where the hallway from the airlock and the hallway to the sleep areas meet." Rave also put a map on a nearby wall panel.



Sana nodded and slowly walked into her nest. She smiled when she walked in "Thank you Rave," She commented. After she entered the living quarters she slowly put her bag down and took a minute to scan around the room

The quarters had a sort of pit in the floor, filled with blankets and pillows. It was big enough that three people could probably sleep in it side-by-side. There was also a small desk attached to the wall. The desk had a lamp and a chair built into it, and all of the corners were rounded and covered with rubber, in case the ship was ever without gravity power. One of the walls was made of large drawers for storing clothing and possessions. The floor, walls, and even parts of the ceiling were covered in thick, comfortable carpet.

Sana smiled happily while she moved to open the cabinets. She opened one and began to stow her gear. This took a few minutes while she put up as much stuff from her duffel bag as she could. Not fully unpacked, she left some of the more difficult items in the bag so she could share the space if she had to. Sana then proceeded out of her room then down the hall towards the bridge.

The bridge was small and efficient. The doors into the bridge came in on either side of a wall-size screen, and in the center there was a captain's chair. Four other chairs were in the room, two in each of the alcoves on either side of the bridge, where the control panels were. There were also two slots in the for the ship pilots. In the center chair sat Rave's avatar, a petite Nekovalkyrja with wild-looking purple hair and neon green eyes.

Sana stopped not quite sure how to respond but she saluted looking forward. She quickly took in the bridge "Rave?" She asked, a little curious.
