((Sorry guys, didn't know this board was back!!!))
"Great, we lost them." "No, wait..." Jessie pointed to a dot on her robonizer, which was know acting as a tracker. "Right there!" The two girls rushed into the building. "WAIT!!!"

"Guys, where've you been?" Urufu says. "I could probably make a portal big enough for the ship," Machaeus muses. "It'd be difficult, but it'd save us a long trip."

Dogman nodded. "Yes, a good thought. Much more inconspicuous to arrive in a ship than to suddenly appear in someones home. Add this to the fact that New Eden has a system of orbiting interdiction satellites to prevent ships warping to close to the station, though I'm doubtful it would stop magic related teleportation. Still, better safe than sorry." The Khrohali grunted as he got up. He grabbed a collapsible cane and, with a flick of his wrist, extended it. "If you would be kind enough to follow me." He took the group further into the back lot of the warehouse, getting the occasional side glance from the resident homeless. The stopped before an object covered by a large grey tarpaulin. Pulling it back revealed an old, beat up, rectangular shuttlecraft. It's front was slanted to give it some aerodynamics, as well as having a pair of stubby wings and a vertical stabilizer. It had obviously seen better times; one of the twin engines on top appeared to have a bird's nest in it. "I can imagine it must look quite a sight but it should still be spaceworthy." said Dogman, running his hand along the side. "It was built for 6 people, but it could hold 15. Wouldn't be very comfortable mind. The onboard A.I. should take care of all your flying, though watch out, he's gotten a little weird after all these years." He nodded in the groups general direction. "Take care on your quest. Be mindful, the Fallen One is a most insidious foe. But, I have just remembered one more thing that may help you. Khrohal is a desert world. From what I heard He did not find its climate to His liking. It would apear that hot places are not His prefered environment."

"Umm... okay..." Jackie said, confused since she just got there.

"Hot places,huh?I´ll keep that in mind."
Ash exmines the ship closer.He has never been in such a thing. Or in space.
"And you´re sure this thing won´t break apart once we are in space?"
He shakes his head to eliminate this thought.
"Anyway...thank you,Dogman.I´ll repay the favor somehow."

"Well, okay. Come on, Jacks." The two got inside the spaceship.

Machaeus stands inside the ship, looking around. "Feels like the Millenium Falcon," he says. "Looks like a piece of junk, but it feels reliable inside." "Mind if I christen it the 'Epoch'?" Urufu grins. "No, because Square will sue our @$$e$ off when they find out." "Dang."

"Yeah, an' that name stinks anyways." came an northern English accented voice. Everyone turned around, expecting someone at the entrance hatch. "Oi, down 'ere." The voice seemed to come from the center monitor of the flightpanel. As everyone crowded around the pilot and co-pilot chairs the face of a middle-aged human man appeared on the screen. "Hullo there. Welcome aboard I suppose." he said.

"Um, hi," Jessie said, adding a wave. "Are you driving?"

"Suppose I am," said the A.I. "been a while but. Might need a bit of a kickstart eh? So, where you lot wantin' to go then? An' where's the Major? Y'know, blind bloke, bit on the hairy side?"

"Your major said you could help us.There should be a space station called "New Eden".Can you give us the coordinates?"
He nodded to Machaeus.
"You sure you can port the whole ship?"

The A.I. pulled a worried expression. "Ohhh, why you want to go there for? There lot more better places than that to see; I 'ear the Centauri Moons are lovely this time of year, well they're lovely all year round really; no axial tilt y'see. Or how about one o'the resort worlds? Y'know Calypso, Jen'nre, New Majorica...," the face on the screen continiues to ramble aimlessley about the various attractions throughout the galaxy.

"Listen pal."New Eden.I dont want to go anywhere else. You just need to give us the coordinates.Thats all.", Ash says in a calm tone.
He sighs and looks down on the screen again.
"Can you do that?Or don´t you know where it is?"
Unable for the others to see,he grins amused under his helmet.

"As long as he can get us to space and fly forwards, we can get there," Machaeus says.

"I'll have you know I'm an 18th generation astronavigational supercomputer with an I.Q. of 4000." said the A.I. indignantly."There's no' a thing I can't find in this whole universe... just take y' a while to get there thats all. What with me being suck in this ol' thing," he looks around at the ships interior, "kinda sad really; there nice these little runabouts, if you do 'em up right." Realising he was begining to drift off topic again the A.I. corrected himself. "Right, well I suppose if you lot 'ave your hearts set on that place we can go, ain't been offworld for a while now..." the rear entry hatch seals as the engines begin to fire up. Everyone feels a pop in their ears as the cabin pressurizes. "Take y'seats lads an' ladies, and don't forget to do up y'seatbelts," the small shuttle begins to vibrate as the noise of the engines gets louder, "Right, New Eden space station. Epsilon Eridani star system, 10.552 light years distant, Epsilon Eridani b's L3 point, 3.3 AU from parent star, that's 493,672,973.2803 km in case your wondering. Right, all set? Just say the word an' off we go." (The shuttle has 2 seats in the cocpit and 4 in the rear cargo area, whichever two call 'shotgun' first gets to sit up front! ;D)
