Chapter Two: A Whole Old World

[Akirapryde]

(OOC: This is an NPC Post for Jake while the player is away. This will be the only NPC post for the character.)

As Jake continued to move through the crew quarters, he started to take account of what he is seeing. More importantly, he noted what he wasn’t seeing. He could easily identify the crew of the dropship as well as the pilots of the support craft. Their combat uniforms did reflect the same style worn by Battlemech pilots, but they did have neural-helmets. This told him that they were aerospace pilots. Judging by the number of ‘pilot’ quarters he saw, Jake was able to discern that there were eighteen aerospace pilots.

Knowing how many pilots told Jake how many fighters were stationed on board. There were a couple of dropships that came to mind. The Gorgon and the Titan class dropships. However, those were Aerodyne style dropships and the one he was walking was clearly a Spheroid style. It was possible that the ship wasn’t carrying its full fighter compliment, but that was unlikely. This left only one class dropship that fit the situation. The ship he was on, is an Okinawa class dropship. But that did convince him that what he was being told was true.

After all, how could he have possibly woken up a hundred years in the past. It wasn’t like such thing was even possible. Jake had remembered reading something in a book by some really big named author stating how impossible time travel was. Which meant that everything that Jake was seeing right now was a very clever and elaborate deception. However, this deception was so thorough that Jake couldn’t find a weakness to prove the deception. Just because he couldn't find the weakness, doesn't mean he bought it. He started to work his way back towards the rest of the party.
