(open) flight of the concord

Date & Time: 1200 Island Standard Time
Location: Exsilium, Warehouse 13
Characters: All boarders and pilots and staff listed here, and everyone else to come and see!
Summary: The space shuttle has finally been fully restored, and now the Initiative has cleared it for a practice flight out past the exosphere. The flight is a success, thus guaranteeing future goals brought around by the Transports rewriting history to reshape the present.
Warnings: None at the moment. Space excitement!

There's a sense of excitement almost strong enough to taste for people waiting past the safe-line, watching for the space shuttle liberated by accidental chance from the United Earth. She's been refitted and reworked by countless hours of labor intense love from Transports and Initiative members alike, and today, she's finally ready to reclaim the skies.

With the flight path chosen, and the cloud patterns promising no heavy rain or turbulance in the lowest level of the atmosphere, or the one right above, everyone is relatively confident this will go well.

And if it doesn't... they'll deal with the fallout.

Yet today is not a day to mourn failures. Today will be a day of success -- and to each person strapped in on the space shuttle herself, it will be a flight into the skies to remember. For the four hours the crew will stay in rotation with the Earth from beyond her exosphere, memories will be made, champagne knock-offs will be had back on Exsilium, and absolutely no potty breaks will happen up in the skies.

Let's ammend that earlier statement: there is one failure. That failure is the sonic toilet, but in the face of every other challenge, to only have the toilets break down is nigh on miraculous!
pilot: (and that's why you always leave a note.)

Sorry. Let me fix that. Learn on your own time with your own ship. Do you know the first thing about space travel?
yourdistraction: (and everything's all right)

[personal profile] yourdistraction 2013-07-18 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
I don't own a ship... And no, I don't. Such things aren't possible where I come from. But I said I'm willing to learn, really!
pilot: (ain't nobody got time fo dat.)

And they let you on the ship. What brilliant leaders we have.

[ he's swearing in huttese in is head because it's the only language that can accurately express his feels. ]

Okay. First lesson. If it looks like it can be touched, don't touch it. If it looks like it can't be touched, don't touch it. If it looks like you should touch it, don't. Got it?
yourdistraction: (in my mind)

[personal profile] yourdistraction 2013-07-19 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
Um... Um yes! Got it!
pilot: (nerds are sexy.)

[personal profile] pilot 2013-07-20 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Good. [ a beat. ] So what are you?
yourdistraction: (and i grow so fearful)

[personal profile] yourdistraction 2013-07-20 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Pardon me? ...Oh! I am a Dalish elf. My name is Merrill. And you?

[ She assumes human but maybe it's rude to assume since he can fly. ]
pilot: (ttyl tear gas.)

[personal profile] pilot 2013-07-24 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
Han Solo. You may have heard of me.

[ correct answer would be yes. ]
yourdistraction: (my shallow heart's)

[personal profile] yourdistraction 2013-07-24 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
[ Whoops. ]

Um... No? But there are a lot of humans I haven't heard about! You would be amazed at how many I seemed to offend at the Chantry. I'm sure they told me about you and then I was thinking of something else and so I forgot, I'm sure that's it! I'm sorry, I'm still quite new...
pilot: (no pirate hats.)

[personal profile] pilot 2013-07-26 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
Nice. Well, get used to it, sweetheart. You won't be new for long.
yourdistraction: (and everything's all right)

[personal profile] yourdistraction 2013-07-28 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
[ Sweetheart? Gosh. ]

Well, I really hope to not be here for very long... But I suppose that must be a common desire! Still, I'll do my best to remember your name. Um...?

[ Now she's teasing. Or trying to, awkwardly, herpaderp. ]
pilot: (on a scale of 1 to everyone dies try 7.)

[personal profile] pilot 2013-07-28 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
[ this face. ]
yourdistraction: (in my mind)

[personal profile] yourdistraction 2013-07-28 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ This face! Well, she tried. ]

No, of course! Han Solo.
pilot: (I remember going home with two girls.)

[personal profile] pilot 2013-07-30 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
Got it.

[ he has enough with maya calling him "hands polo" okay ]
