LSDF Val'ta, Nowhere in Particular...
A few hours after the maiden expedition of the LSDF Val'ta, Porrim had retreated to their quarters, properly liquored up by Ursula and desiring a little bit of personal space in her quarters. The members of expedition crew who'd received minor injuries were examined and patched up, and given a firm slap on the back to get on with it or an imperative to rest up.
Naturally, getting on with it could mean a whole lot of things, and they had plenty of time to themselves if they weren't wrapped up in other duties. The bar on Deck 3 had a handful of off-duty personnel on it, nursing drinks, watching things in the Data Strip's projections, or chatting away. In addition, the four survivors from the apartment block in Misato City were lounging together, watching the view and glad to be out of a place where it was freezing cold and they didn't always know where their next meal came from.
Meanwhile, the science rooms had been examining some of the things the crew had brought aboard, including the animals over on the Starboard science room in Deck 2. Otherwise, they seemed to be quite content walking around the deck, and being the first animals to take advantage of the nature conservation area tucked away in a volumetric compression on 3rd deck. The Port-side science room was examining the objects and media they'd recovered, and the sound of Aoi Tanaka pop music could be heard if you were walking past the galley.
Down on the Flight Deck in Deck 6, Michael Furze, the Val'ta's co-designer was testing the Data Strip's capabilities with Captain Bel'meir nearby and an interpreter. The Fyunnen captain did not speak a word of Yamatai-Go or trade, so one of the deckhands who minded the power armours and mecha were providing interpretation. Geometric, polygonal shapes which could remain solid were projected into an empty area of the deck, with fresh personnel interacting with them. Pushing at them, climbing on them, vaulting over them, standing on them to see if they could support the weight of one or multiple people.
Before Michael knew it, he'd erected a veritable obstacle course using hardlight projections, fit for training in. Bel'meir seemed satisfied that a training environment could be simulated here on the flight deck, but knew she had to touch base with Porrim and some of the other senior staff for what to design, turning around and heading back up towards Deck 3.
In the lower decks, the refinery was doing a test run of smelting itself some metal, with a stock of ore that the Val'ta had come packed with in order to test these facilities. Waste was pushed out into space, but the engineers tending to this foundry and production area were simply marvelling at what could be made here. A Q-Modem to the Matriarchy allowed them to grab schematics and plans, then fabricate whatever they needed, as it was released.
All in all, it was business as usual on the Val'ta as it continued flying through space.
