We Ran To Avalon

******************************************

We'll be kings forever, ooh

Holding on together, ooh

Feeling so much better, ooh

When everything was wrong,

and everything was gone,

we ran to Avalon

The morning came faster than any of them had ever even wanted and for the most part of the day they did all kinds of adjustments and repairs for their longest part of the journey. The craft was a great thing Nate had chosen because it had specific type of energy source so it wasn't dependent on fuel as majority. There was battery charging from all the sun light and some kind of crystal feeding autonomous energy into the engines so they could go as long as they needed.

The main thing to change was the interior.

But after several hours of work they managed to free up some comfy space. Nate had even located few serial numbers to erase and managed to change the energy signature as he made sure the tiny starship he counted as just on-surface transport unit turned out to be capable to actually travel to outer space pretty much like a shuttle could. And quite possibly even further. Basically between planets in near distance it was safe bet. If there was more travel it was tiny enough to hitch a ride on a large starship - so basically this was rebuilt shuttle type with custom civilian refits. And by the looks of it very custom. However one source he trusted assured it's not as unique so if they did more of their own it would look like reference or even just inspired by the real deal as the engine reconfiguration wasn't that unheard of and judging by the specific model type it was a very old shuttle hybrid that came from entirely different type of galaxy which was rather far from Federation type.

This gave Nate big relief. He was trying to keep it low for a reason.

By the time the thing was turned into a super cozy living room couch on the inside and very dreamy looking night sky scene from the outside the transport didn't even resembled to a shuttle. Neal was indeed a fabulous artist regardless of paint type.

And Noel had an eye for cozy rooms. Nate made sure control panel was exactly as he felt the most comfortable for both him and Noel. He was doing most configuration work but Noel was feeding Neal snippets of what their powers were and what might be Neal's others.

As most they had one or two base strongest powers like Shadow Energy skills and in Noel's and Nate's case technopathy. Since Neal didn't show much connection with computers and never had but he was more on the empath side they came to conclusion it could be empath based like Samara. He wasn't exclusively Psy-Op trained like Rain and Marena were so that left him like Samara.

Being Shadow already validated most of sneakiness and likes so the rest was more on the individual character.

Which was okay because they now had specific skill set available and it was more diverse and useful instead of them all being same.

So like with the shuttle they could jump in together and do the job together and be done by the first moonlight.

Nate packed up and left leftover scraps back in the garage for the contact to gather it and sell at the scrapyard. It was their keep as a pay for the cabin and all the secrecy.

They had now achieved rather comfy tiny spaceship with actual capability to keep oxygen inside via very intricately designed filter system and very specific atmospheric modificator system that could even use any type of atmosphere around it and change it to oxygen they could breathe. This type of system removed the need for oxygen tanks and that was probably the other main reason for ship being that small. But the most main thing was the lack of fuel tanks or other type of power source for regular engines that weren't warp cores which was for Fleet size ships.
