He arrived just as the large airship began edging out of the hangar. He managed to jump aboard just before the crewman shut the hatch. Remembering the layout, he tossed his go bag in his office and headed to the forward gondola where the bridge was. He managed to get there just as the ship slowly began to rise. He held his peace during the critical moments, and then quietly stated.
"Commander M'Rega reporting, Permission to come aboard, Professor?"
"Welcome aboard Commander! Permission granted. Over the next two weeks we'll be actively commissioning the vessel, and conducting test runs over the entire Island. During these trials we have an open slate to perform any troupe maneuvers you may wish to entertain. For today we're looking at ascending to 5 Kilometers and doing low and mid level forward flight routines."
Archeus then lead the commander to a seemingly empty spot of the Command Deck looking down she pointed to triangle in a circle emblem. "If you tap twice on one of these symbols a command station will engage." Archeus extended her leg out and operated the embedded switch. The floor opened up as a table with multiple monitors arose. A command chair then raised into position. Archeus holding out her hand gestured. "Here you go Commander, you can monitor the ships statistics here. And any crew orders can be given by simply using the PA. The number pad can be used to signal any specific area. Please feel free to test drive the station to your hearts desire. We are operating in Safe Mode so you can't hurt anything."
Archeus looked out the forward command as the Dressel approached some low lying clouds.
"Spectacular Just Spectacular!" She mused. "We're almost to cruising altitude."
Archeus walked over to another command station and activated it. She sat down and grabbed a PA phone. "Attention on board! We will be making preparations for Forward momentum very shortly so please use extreme caution."
