Journey Of The New Earth

<Keith>

God, I always hate this. You know, when you go to space in the lions there's no pull, it's pressure controlled. Well, you can't really do that with a giant pill rocket launching to and orbital. This was also going to be Damon's first trip up, and though he seemed completely fine in simulation, I'm still a little scared about him going up. Especially because  I was the backup captain, no where near where he was going to be. Kitty's with him, but I feel like she'll just be keeping him quiet.

It'll four hours till I can see him again, Which isn't good. I'm one of those clingy parents, my kids are my world, what if something happen? Or they got hurt? Iwou-"

"Keith?" I snap back to reality as I feel a hand on my shoulder. "Honey, calm down, if you get worked up now It'll just make the launch worse." Lance said softly, checking over the stats of the ship.

I nodded, looking back as the hanger door was sealed. "Everyone here, sound off." I said, pulling up our list. "Vice Captain Kogane, asking for sound off. Andrysiak."

"Diplomate Region Three Janetta Bet'uel Andrysiak Present, A waiting Command Sir!"

"Araujo."

"Communications Officer Verusha Ruslan Araujo Present, A waiting Command Sir."

"Arendse." 

"Engineering Team 1 Vígi Nathália Arendse Present, A waiting Command Sir!"

"Baumgartner"

"Engineering Team 2 Leader Pranav Stig Baumgartner, Present Captain oh Captain."

"Watch it Baumgartner, admiral Griffin has eyes and Ear everywhere." I sounded, getting long sigh. "Bennet"

"Bio Team 2 Polyxena Illtyd Bennet, Present and Ready!"

"Love the Moxy. Blackspaz."

"Cadet Navigational  Halle Felicia Blackspaz Reporting in from Hanger 1, still in observation of other Cadets  Sir!" 

Keith Hummed a little, going back over com. "Good intel Navigational. Blum!"

"Bio specialist  Constanza Wulfsige Blum Ready with Bio Teams 1 and 2 set for Take off." 

"Fantastic, why would I even bother with a check, you guys are great. Both! Where have you been?"

"Bio Team 1 Geronimo Valentin Both, still waiting for death Kogane, you will pay for getting me on this mission."

"Aw, wouldn't be a proper space exploration without our favorite old timer, now would it? Bukowski!"

"Engineering Team 2, Prabodh Tatiana Bukowski, ready for the comminatory to end captain." 

"Hey, you gotta admit, its better then HQ Reading off our names and us saying Present, present, present. Burns, can I get a heyo?

"Heyo! Diplomate Region 4 Ratomir Drahomíra Burns loving every minute of this."

"Thats the spirit I'm looking for, already done with 10, lets keep at it. Crewe?"

"Cadet Linguistics Mihaila Úlfr Crewe, ready to ride Captain!" 

"Yes! Lets do that Ms Crewe. Cuyper, your team still alive back there?"

"Engineering Team 1, Augustyn Baard Cuyper, teams still alive, but Wash is looking a little worse for wear.

"Oh Shut it Cuyper!"

"Woah, Engineers, geez, lets keep violence to a minimum in front fo the new guys k? De Groot, you tell them!"
