Everything Is Magical
It’d been several weeks since Icarus had met with Barachiel and been informed of his new position as captain of the ECV Raven, in that time the Raven winged Elysian had seen to finding a suitable crew for his ship. While there was no public announcement of the ship and its mission word still managed to spread leading to multiple applications for positions, these were sifted through and only the best were accepted to meet and discuss their position on board. After the crew was assembled and brought on board the small retrofitted scout-class ship they headed up into orbit around Elysia Novus and awaited their first orders, it wasn’t long before their captain explained their first task.
Orbit of Elysia Novus
ECV Raven
The Retrofitted Scout-Class ship drifted aimlessly in orbit, through the many windows the crew would see the swirling clouds, vast oceans and sprawling landmasses, the ships interior was neatly organised and everything had been stowed away before take-off. The crew had been given a bunk and personal locker for storing their few personal effects while any large equipment and other items are stored in the shuttle bay or storage area.
Icarus stood on the bridge watching a few traders and civilian ships coming and going as they passed them by without so much as flinching in their course, the Raven-winged captain stood with his hands clasped behind his back as he collected himself. The Elysian had already spoken to Barachiel about the mission details and exactly what their mission would be now he only had to find an easy way to relay the large amount of info he’d been given.
“Attention crew members of the Raven, as many of you well know I am Icarus Asellio the captain of this ship and former officer of the Star Army. Recently I was reassigned from my post on board the Wyvern and brought back home to serve Elysia once again, this as you can see was not a military posting but rather a discharge from the navy in light of some recent events which drew the attention of the senate.” The Elysian spoke as the intercom played his voice across the whole ship.
He paused for a moment as he put together the short speech in his head hoping he was right to choose the crew that he did, most of them had family back home and while he wasn’t expecting any trouble he really didn’t want to have to visit any of them on a rainy day. Flicking the ship-wide intercom back on he continued.
“As I explained to all of you, the purpose of this ship is to investigate the recent activity from beneath Empyrean which is believed to be linked to the ancient starship stored away there, this information is highly classified for the time being and should any of you be found to be distributing it there will be severe reprimands. Now our mission regarding Empyrean is to descend into the old ship and find out what is only now generating these electronic signals, you’ve all been provided with a standard uniform which is only compulsory when we need to look like a team, in other words when I say and a set of Adrenaline Utility Gear. We are not a military vessel and therefore are confined to civilian grade equipment, not that we really need power armour for this kind of thing and the AUG should provide you with all the tools you need, each of you can find it in your locker.”
“The landing shuttle will be departing in an hour from the shuttle bay, make sure you are all on board as it won’t be waiting for stragglers. In the meantime I suggest trying to get to know one another, you’ll be working as a team with only each other to count on out there so I don’t want to see any fights, which brings me to the final item of the briefing. Everyone on this ship, regardless of prior occupation or status is an equal and should be treated as you would a friend or family member, we have no ranks and we have no distinguishable leader, I may be the captain but I am by no means your commander and as such I expect you all to be competent in making your own decisions, should you have any questions see me on the bridge.” Satisfied that he’d covered all the important parts Icarus finished the impromptu briefing and finally finished pacing across the room moving to sit in the captains’ chair as his gaze returned to the various other craft outside.
As the intercom switched off Alexia had already retrieved her own gear from the locker and started heading to the shuttle bay to check it over and hopefully meet some of her crew mates. The second Asellio strolled down to the shuttle at a leisurely pace with the AUG pieces under each arm humming a faint tune as she went, before long she entered the bay and admired the small landing shuttle they’d been generously gifted. The Velcior sat silently with its passenger airlocks opened near the front of the ship, stepping on board she found that it had been outfitted with enough spaces for the whole crew as well as cargo space left over at the rear.
"wonder who's gonna get here next then, and knowing my brother this hour will be as precise as a laser etched signature so for their sake I hope they take him seriously." She thought to herself setting up her AUG and checking it against her frame, adjusting various straps until it sat comfortably on her. "And here I was thinking his fashion sense was wrecked by all those years as an officer but this is kinda cool."
