HMS Dressel

[Archeus]

As Jade listened in on the conversation between the others, she went through the checklists and manifests to double check everything was in order, noting down a few parts that suffered damage during shipping. Wrapping up, she waved to Archeus and the others, stating "Everything looks pretty decent here! I'll get the report off to Lady Wolfbane pronto. There are a few nicks and dents here and there, but with shipping I'd be more shocked if there wasn't."

Pointing out the few things she noticed to Archeus, she continued "Nothing too major though. A few light covers here, some cabinet siding there, mostly stuff that needs to wait for the ship to come together anyway. Shouldn't delay things at all. We'll see if there's more on the mechanical equipment when we do the burn-in tests in R&D."

Archeus turning to Jade. " Stellar news then. I'm getting ready to go to the marshaling platform and get the hydraulic skids to the simulators. Razzle is going to start the check out. And I'll probably get Dean to help also. I haven't seen him today, but I'm sure he's around."

Reporting back in from his day off freshly pressed and dressed stores his things away and Reports to Archeus.
"Hello Maam, it seems we have a new project.  Is there anywhere you would like me to focus on?"

Hearing Dean come in the room. "Hello Dean, good to see you. Your looking upbeat today. I'll fix that" She chuckled. "I'm only kidding of course." She bantered. "Lets go find Razzle, I think he's down in one of the simulator rooms." She started walking down the corridor. "Ah here we go." As she opened a rather large ominous looking door. "Dean these skids hold all the hydraulic pumps, regulators and valving for the ships maneuvering foils. Razzle is in here somewhere, he may have already started the check out." She walked over to one of the smaller boxes and started riffling through its contents. "I believe this is it." She hands Dean a flash drive. "There are a couple computers around here somewhere, this has all the information on set up and testing of the system, as well as theory of operation. Take as much time as you need to familiarize yourself with the setup. After we're done and everything has passed inspection the Station Ops will start installing it on the ship." Archeus looked long and slowly over the mass of piping. "Don't let it scare you too much Dean." She reassured him. "We're all a team here. One for all and all for one."

[Tigermark]

Glancing over the blueprints, Mark decided he needed a lot more time to look over everything. He decided to take his leave and go to his office in the Lair to look at the blueprints more closely and review the information on the thumb drive. His own quarters? So the missions planned for the big airship were to be long duration.That brought another thought to mind. One he didn't mind at all.

"Professor, do you have a chef lined out for meals? I could try and see if I can pry Tielle away from the Library Staff kitchen. Maybe. She doesn't care for flying all that much."

Archeus thought for a second. "Well now that you mention it, why NO I don't. Having Tielle would be a capital idea! I like her spunk. The ships kitchen is fully enclosed. So I doubt seriously anyone will have motion sickness in there. In fact unless your on the Bridge or looking out one of the Observation decks most should have little sense we are even moving." Archeus reached in her briefcase. "Feel free to give her this." She hands over a folder. "That is layout of the kitchen as well as the mess hall. That should at least give her an idea of what she could expect."  She paused with her finger to her lips. "And I would be more than happy to give her or anyone a tour of the vessel. It's slowly taking shape and I'm very pleased with the progress being made so far."

[Shard Loren]

Shard thought for a moment about Archeus's offer. "Sounds good to me. I'd love to see the ins and outs of the Dressel" he said smiling. "after all how many times do you get to be shown around history in the making." he added all the while Renfield was smiling and nodding

With great enthusiasm Archeus exclaimed, "We're honored to have you here. Let me show the main hanger." She began walking towards the massive structure. She reached in her pocket to pull out a remote control. as they approached the large rolling door began to lift. Before them was a large skeletal hulk. "There are several sections here each is in a slightly different phase of completion. The Kitchen and mess hall are the first. about 30 meters over there near the gantry crane is the machine shop where on board repairs can be made." She continued over to a gang row of composite prefab trailers. "These will be mated together to form the R&D mobile lab. We want the ability to research and document everything possible on our away missions." She continued "I guess you could think of it as being able to serve dozens of functions at once." She opened a small side door. "We even have a Chirr daycare."

[Southpaw]

Razzle was fully immersed in the simulator. He was wearing headphones, goggles and special gloves to get the full experience. He was so focused on the simulator, he didn't hear Dean come in. When Dean came over and tapped Razzle on the shoulder, he jumped out of his chair. Razzle took off the goggles and headphones to see who tapped him on the shoulder.
"Sorry about that," Dean said.
"It's okay," Razzle said. "I was so focused on this simulation that I didn't hear you come in. If you get a chance, you should try the simulator sometime.
How are you doing Dean?"

[Tigermark]

"I'll see if I can persuade her," Mark declared as he made to take his leave. He headed to his office and sat down to go over the information. He'd see Tielle at lunch and see if he could convince his lovely lynx that the denizens of The Library would not in fact starve to death if she took on this assignment.

[Shard Loren]

Shard was awestruck as he was shown the different sections that were in construction, and listened intently as Archeus explained what each was for. "Well a kitchen and Mes hall are certainly a must for long hauls. And that Machine shop sounds like it's gonna be invaluable when any unforeseen events happen." they reached the prefab trailers and again came the explanation. "Well no doubt these will be top of the line equipment. Spared no expense eh?" and the finaly, so far, stop on the tour was much more interest to the second person taking this tour. Namely Renfield. The tiny bronze Chirr made a sound that could best be described as a "Squeeee" when he saw all the stuff dedicated to caring for creatures such as himself.

He began tugging on both Archeus's leg and pointing into the room as if asking if he can go inside and look around.
