Chewbacca - Saturday, April 22, 2000, 10:02 PM ---------------------------------------------- Millenium Falcon - Cockpit
The large webbed viewport fails to dominate the banks of
instrumentation ranged around it. Panels and light crowd
each other on all surfaces but the floor and seats; half
of them seem to be indicating an error condition of some
level of urgency.
A narrow doorway leads to a tube-like hallway linked to
the entry corridor.
Players: Solo
Obvious exits: Out
Leia comes into the cockpit. Leia has arrived. Solo settles into his seat, flipping a few buttons. He checks the gauges, then nods to Chewie. "OK...start her up." Chewbacca settles himself into his chair, after inputing the navigation instructions. Then flips the switch. Miraculously the Falcon sputters into action. Solo smiles as he hears the engines whining to life. "You know, its too bad that the spare hyperdrive part isn't here yet...I'm almost tempted to take her on a short trip just for fun." Chewbacca says, "Rawwwr." unenthusiastically, as though taking the falcon on a jaunt through space without the spare part is not his idea of a good time, or something smart to do. Leia shakes her head, "I only hope the part arrives soon. The trip we -should- be making is to find Cale's sister." Solo looks at Chewie. "I didn't say I was going to...I said it would be nice if I *could*..." Solo shakes his head, then grips the controls, slowly lifting the ship. Chewbacca focuses on the ships controls as well, studying their functionability. "Raww rrra warrr." he nods to Solo, relieved. <All systems working normal> Solo smiles. "Of course they're working...they just got repaired." Instrument panels now show that the ship has left dock. Leia just looks between the two pilots with a smirk and settles back in her seat. Solo smiles as he manuevers the ship from the docking bay, and out into space. He scans for crossing ships, then pushes the controls forward, giving the ship some power. Chewbacca seems to not want to take his eyes off the controls. From somewhere in the ship, the r2 unit bleeps and whistles over the comchannel, indicating that everything is ready. VIEWPORT: Half a klick out from the Calamari cruiser's hangar, a small A-Wing approaches at minimal speed. Its trajectory is straight, easy, and casually determined.
VIEWPORT: The Millenium Falcon is moving out of the docking bay of Home One, turning lazily as it makes for the planet below. Chewbacca points at the scanners, just as the r2 unit bleeps. "Rwawwwr" VIEWPORT: The much smaller craft maintains its steady course, approaching along a vector that's far from interfering with the transport's launch. It continues to close on the wide mouth of the cruiser's bay. Leia asks, idly curious, "Who is returning?" Solo shrugs as he sends out a hailing signal. "We'll see in a minute." Chewbacca reassures the r2 unit with a few hearty rawrs into the comlink. VIEWPORT: The Millenium Falcon is turning the ship towards the planet now, clearing the cruisers observation deck. Chewbacca continues to peer at the scanners, and relay minor information to the Astromech droid. Leia asks quietly into the near-silence (well, except for Chewie's growls), "Have either of you seen the base yet?" Solo shakes his head. "Nope. Just heard about it is all. Sure will be nice to have a hot shower with non-recycled water, though." VIEWPORT: The tiny starfighter pitches up gently, aligning itself slowly with the carrier's flightdeck. The small craft glides smoothly into the bay. A display notes that the A-Wing <ID 6102> has docked with the Rebel CapShip <ID DO>. Chewbacca doesn't seem interested in making any conversation, reading survey scans that the droid is relaying. Leia chuckles, "But I thought you lived for the stars, Commander." She nods, "Though I must agree, a shower, or even a bath, with fresh water will be a pleasant change." Solo smiles as the planet comes into view fully. "We should be planet-side in about fifteen minutes or so." He chuckles at Leia. "I do live for the stars, Princess...but even I miss the more subtle creature comforts." Chewbacca is having some kind of heating conversation with the droid. He seems to be ignoring Solo and the Princess; paying attention to the navigational instruments. Leia grins a bit, "Of course, Commander. Even you would enjoy normalcy on occasion." She glances in Chewie's direction, but is apparently unwilling to interrupt. The conversation seems loosely about malfunctioning systems; or systems that run but shouldn't based on X,Y and Z. Leia laughs quietly, "Apparently the new droid is going to have to learn to accept that the Falcon will run even if it shouldn't." Solo looks at Chewie. "What is it? Whats malfunctioning? I thought that all the repairs were taken care of!" Chewbacca tells Solo, "Raww rr awarr aawwr garra awawr aaarr arawwwer aaaarr gaawwr aarr.." <The droid says that life support in sections A5-43 of the hold are malfunctioning.> He then stops and shrugs, "rawww raraww eeerrawwrgh eaarrgh." <He's made a list of everything we don't really need to know about> Solo thinks a moment, then quirks a brow. "But...section A5-43 is the fuel hold...how could it be malfunctioning if it doen't *have* a life support system?" Solo looks at Chewie then. "I think we need to have that droid looked at as soon as we get planet-side." Chewbacca tells Solo, "Raww rwaw rrraaar warwwarrg." <He's paranoid, and has heard about the falcon om some of the other droids, give it time to adjust>. The wookiee's expression is not happy as he's quite certain just from which particular droid. Solo shakes his head. "Well then we'll have to have his happy-circuit, or whatever it is that keeps him calm, re-adjusted." Chewbacca glances at Leia, to gather her opinion on the matter. Leia smiles, "You know, 3PO may never have been thrilled with the Falcon, but I would be surprised if he has spent time warning other droids of the ship." She chuckles, "Though, he might." Solo looks sidelong at Leia. "3PO? He wouldn't..." Leia mmms, "Perhaps he overexaggerated some in conversation. I know he would say nothing intentionally." Chewbacca rawwrghs in some annoyance, but continues to reassure the r2 unit. Which is calming down. Solo looks at the approaching planet. He starts adjusting the controls, flipping a few switches and firing the reverse thrusters to slow the ship down a bit. Leia shakes her head, "He is...wound too tight, but don't hold it against him. He has served well in the past." Solo nods absently as he concentrates on the controls, keeping the ship on a level approach, firing the reverse thrusters at intervals to keep the ship from coming through the atmosphere too fast. Chewbacca rises, "rawwwr awwaerr wewerar" <I'm going to check on box 32fb, the droid is worried about it>. Solo nods absently again, working the controls. Leia smiles, "He'll adjust in time, Chewie." Chewbacca grunts, glances between Solo and Leia, grins. Then makes his way out.
You head down a short passage and enter the main corridor. Millenium Falcon - Entryway
The corridor curves around the core of the ship, and is padded in
blocks by slightly dingy panels. In between the padding, bare
instrumentation and haphazard storage is seen, and things have the
feel of being half finished. The corridor curves into the lounge
and then the engine sections, and a short corridor leads to the
cockpit. To the right of the cockpit hallway is the entry hatch,
where you may '+s/disembark'.
