As you enter your gunnery pod, you can't help but wonder
what your new ship and crew members are going to be like. After
all, you were an excellent member for your old team. You knew
what to expect of them and vice versa. But now, you can't help
but wonder if your ready for this. So soon. And to change teams
during such a dangerous mission, too. But, there last weapon
officer lost his life on the last mission and they desperately
needed a new officer to replace him. And your records were chosen
by this captain as the best choice available. But still, you just
can't help but wonder whether or not you can adapt to this team
so quickly. But no time now to think and ponder. Because, you've
got a ship to protect and a job to do.
As you close the hatch of the pod and settle into your
seat, SAL lifts off the cargo bay floor and thrusts the gunnery
pod into place aboard the S.S. Monte Hue. A message comes across
the communication's channel from the flight controller saying,
"PSI 5 shipper Monte Hue. You have permission for launch. Over."
Then, a siren sounds as the bay begins the decompression cycle.
Seconds later, the hanger doors slide open and the ship begins
propel forward. Once cleared of the bay, the ship heads for The
Gravitron Ring, on course for the colony Preblieux,
located in quadrant 87. After clearing the light tunnel, you
punch the usual hole in the field and fly through it. The
reception on the other side is not what you were expecting.
