Kiandra headed towards her family's dock, calling on her wrist pad to her navigator, Nala, letting her know the mission details, and to open up both bays, as the military would be sending up supplies. She walked up her ramp, shooting a quick message to her mother, and closed the ramp. She was trying to work out the problem inside her head, now that they would have to all work together, as a cohesive group.
Dear lord, what had they been thinking sticking her with those males?
Hopefully all would go well. She stopped suddenly, hoping that they had their own ship. If it was around her size, then the Bridgade would be able to fit them in, and they wouldn't have to waste twice the fuel. She started making calculations in her head as she slid into her seat, buckling the belt across her chest, and started the engines, hearing them roar happily. She grinned knowing her mechanic Rune had got her baby back to working order. She set up a communication link, and as her ship began to rise, hovering in the space over the docks, she waited. The link was open, but had her call signal on it, broadcasting as she was to see if they picked up.
"Captain Black, Nyx Shadow"
Once the males answered, she said quietly, "My Bridgade ship, Nyx Blade, can carry both of our ships on it, as long as your ship is around the same size as mine. It will save us fuel in the long run to travel together, but if you want to just meet there, I understand that too."
As they answered, she would nod, and opened another communication link, this time with the military, "This is Captain Black, Ready for take off."
"Go ahead Nyx Shadow, You are clear for flight."
She grinned, and throttled the engine, hearing the roar of it, before it died down to a seductive purr, her own purr answering from deep within. She zoomed out of the plane, and as she hit space, hit the button for artificial gravity. Nyx Blade came into view, and she smirked proudly at her ship. smaller than most Bridgade ships, it was still plenty big for her and her crew, and those who would come along for the ride. The two massive doors were open, and she could already see a smaller ship in the left side, the delivery service from the military no doubt. She knew Kuna and Calliope would be moving things into storage, and taking inventory.
She flew into the right side, slowly manuevering into the farthest spot, carefully landing her ship, feeling the slight shock of the landing through her gear, before floor supports came up and locked over the slids. She got up, and headed to the ramp, which slowly lowered to the floor, revealing Calliope, a tortoiseshell feline, with icy blue eyes. "Hey, nice landing, we've got most of the supplies out, and they've got another ship waiting." Calliope pointed to the second military ship floating just out of reach of the port door. Kiandra nodded, and then watched as the first ship started their thrusters, and begin to ascend, heading out, leaving room for the second.
"That was quick."
"We are efficient. How'd she ride?" Rune walked up, interrupting the two, her pale gold fur had darker brown stripes, and she had dark honey brown eyes. Her left ear was also torn in half, from a bar fight.
"She flew beautifully. And super quiet too. How did you manage that?"
"New hydros.... Don't ask me where I got them!"
"All right, I won't." Kiandra said, grinning at Rune as Calliope shook her head.
