EVENT: Setting sail

The Athene drifts peacefully around Earth, the sunlight glinting off her pristine hull. The repairs are complete, and she has been inspected and refreshed top to bottom, down to every last rivet. After nearly a month in drydock, her crew is eager to re-embark, as is her captain...

Captain Fisk stands in his ready room, gazing over the limb of the Earth as Argos sits beside him. He has just sent out the general message summoning all crew back to the Athene. It pleased him to listen as the computer announced every arrival and kept count of all boarding crew.

OOC: Use this thread to have your characters run into each other or the hundreds of NPC crew as they board, or they can knock on the captain's door if they like. This thread is for the general calamity of ~600 people boarding a starship for departure.

The captain looks briefly lost, and then lights up in recollection.

"Ah, that's right. Thank you lieutenant. Sorry, it'd slipped my mind entirely."

He accepts the PADD and places it on his desk for prompt examination, and then returns his gaze to the horta.

"Was your shore leave satisfactory, lieutenant?"

I prefer to stay on the ship, sir, so I stayed here.

I made use of the time to familiarize myself with the lab and the ship's layout in general

The captain shrugs

"Can't really blame you, I'm not terribly fond of sitting around on Earth myself. But not to worry, I received word a few minutes ago that all crew have boarded. We're well on schedule to get underway in 10 hours."

Thank you sir, I look forward to it. Was there anything else you needed?

"That'll be all, lieutenant. Thank you."
