Sonic got off light. Where he could have probably joined in on Allenby's romp into the brig, he was instead told to scrub the Quarter. Now, that wouldn't be a problem in and off itself - super speed has its perks, after all. But, being a four-foot hedgehog trying to scrub the deck of a space-worthy aircraft carrier? A little harder that it looks.

"Eeeaugh...! Sheesh, I don't mind the work, but couldn't of they gotten a small ship?" Sonic griped. Then again, glancing at the equally long Serpentera nearby, he got off light. Imaging scrubbing THAT thing. Letting out a sigh, he continued his work, trying to think of ways that would get the job done faster.

"Man, what I wouldn't give for those shoe brushes like in cartoons!" he uttered.

After everyone and all of their ships were properly loaded the Quarter had launched successfully. The journey from Stacy to the Trojan Asteroid field trailing NiSaris took several hours, but they managed to approach the field with the people of the nearby world being none the wiser.

The problem was that the NiSarians weren't the only ones watching the skies.

As the Quarter approached and entered the asteroid field, all was quiet. But it was only going to be a matter of moments before that would change.


((ooc: See this post for instructions, but otherwise, have at it, and have fun.))

Wash rarely went anywhere but the bridge of the Quarter - the whole thing felt creepily like an Alliance ship and the bridge was a smaller space, easier to deal with after Serenity's tight places.

Not that it was much better on the bridge. Wash sometimes felt like he was in a vast fishbowl, standing out on the end of the bridge. It was built in the thrust, three sides surrounded by air and railings. Luckily the consoles were high enough that no-one was likely to get vertigo.

Wash went straight to his station, running his hand over the console. Even in a ship this high-tech they knew that the pilot had to feel her to fly.

"She's not my first love but she's well enough," he said.
