Chapter Two: A Whole Old World

"If this is a ruse, then they could have located a set of old star-maps and used them. We need the confirmation from beyond this ship."

[Aria Blackthorn]

Suki nodded, "yes I know that we need one from beyond the ship. If we can take a reading for ourselves and compare it to what we are being told we can prove that we are being lied to or being told the truth and we can confirm or deny what is really going on."

"I can maybe get us into the flight bay," Jake says. "If they salvaged my shuttle I can demand to see it...Long shot but might work."

(OOC Response for Adrian while he is away. The following is information that he had scored from his first hacking of the dropship's mainframe)

Adrian spoke up, "You don't have to make demands. I have a map of the dropship and the access codes for all the security doors."

Alice looked over the maps that were presented to the group by Adrian. "Hey there is a service access that runs the core of the ship. All the way from the base of the bridge to the upper decks of the engineering spaces. I think Adrian and I could make sure that you and Eric are not spotted by the surveillance systems." Alice glanced over the maps of the ship, "Jake, you and Eric can work your way down the service access and get to the flight deck. Get the independent readings and get back here. What do you think?"

[Aria Blackthorn]

Suki nodded and reached over and took hold of Jake's arm, "if you don't mind, I would like to go with Jake. I am sure that a bling girl" she said waving her hand in front of her face, "could make for a good excuse should someone say something"

"Be aware the risk you two put yourself in, choosing this course to take, and before you go..." He turned toward Alice. "Someone here has to explain exactly what happened to the best of her abilities. Not knowing could get us killed so cards on the table."

[Akirapryde]

Alice glanced around almost missing the comment leveled at her. Then it hit her. Her face twisted with anger. "what does that suppose to mean!?"

(OOC: Eric give me a Perception check. First Tier target is base. Second Tier target is Base plus two. Let me know what level tier you reach)

(OOC: Hit +2)

(OCC: Eric knows that Alice knows what he is talking about. Despite her attempts to brush off the issue. It is something that has drawn great emotional stress on her. It is boarderline to a point of her being terrified of this issue.)

"Sounds good," Jake says, then trails off as he sees Eric and Alice clash. "...Um, okay."

He waits for this to be resolved.
