After rescuing you from Volturnus, your starship has been traveling back home while you have been healing and relaxing at last.

But you have noticed some functional shimmies in the ship, and then the captain announces over the intercom:

"I regret to inform you that our ship sustained structural damage in the battle at Volturnus.  Our engineers have been working on the damage nonstop, but the problems are in the engine itself.  As such, we will be attempting to dock at the neareast port in the Belnafaer system, which is near the gas giant Venturi.  Although there is no need for panic, we cannot go much farther without repairs.  This ship is a small freighter by nature and was not fully equipped for battle with Sathar forces.  I have the unfortunate duty to inform you that repairs will last for at least several days time.  We will be grounded during that entire time."

After this announcement, the captain asks for your presence on the bridge.

NOTE: You were traveling from Zebulon (where Volturnus is located) to Pan Gal, if you want to look at the map.

Ospra steps up to the bridge, her long gangly legs moving her more quickly than any human could walk.  She bends her two opposing knees on each leg forward so that she won't appear to be her full 3 meters tall, but closer to the standard human 2 meter size.

"Here to serve," she says in an entrancing, melodic voice.

Yagrith trudges nervously to the bridge, muttering to himself the whole way. "Hate meetings, lots of people, rather be with my robots."

 Having spent most of his time in his quarters writing a rough draft of his memories of Volturnus, Dr. Kri'lik is starting to wonder what he and his new teammates might be doing next for employment when he receives the summons to the bridge.
 Most peculiar, he comments to himself as he puts his notepad down. I'll get back to you later.
 Making his way to the bridge he pauses now and then to see if any of his companions will make the journey with him. Oh well perhaps they are already there. Shrugging his shoulders with a large sigh he makes the final steps into the ship's bridge.
 The door opens and in steps the middle aged Vrusk. Almost immediately he recognizes the captain but there seems to be a few others who are gathering about the ship's captain as if waiting for others to arrive.

 "Afternoon Sir." The doctor says to the captain. Turning to the Yazirian and the Osakar the Vrusk say, "Greetings I do not think we have met. I am Professor Kri'lik. Its a pleasure to meet you."

Desiraye sits up in her bunk when she hears the Captain of the ship make the announcement over the vessels intercom system.  Having been able to relax some after the Volturnus ordeal, she will put on her tight fitting military skeinsuit with one of her maser pistols in her shoulder rig and proceed to the bridge in short time.

When she is allowed access to the bridge area, she will go in and acknowledge her companions with smiles and hand shakes.  Desi will notrice that there are some others gathered on the bridge that were not with them on the planet but, look like they were summoned to the bridge like her team was.  Desiraye will sit and wait for the Captain's briefing to begin.

Wandering onto the bridge, S'Krllk gestures greetings to everyone in a manner that only another of his race would understand to mean 'I was taking a nap and probably put the wrong shoes on'. Then relaxes with an expectant air.

Kuurn marched slowly up to the bridge with a determined gait.

”What’s this about a layover?” he said gruffly as he entered the room.  He hadn’t expected the number of sophonts now gathered.

Sergi looks up from his computer terminal...

"Now what?!  You'd have thought that after saving the galaxy from a hoard of slavering snakes you'd at least get home safely!"

He turns off his comp and ambles up to the Bridge.  He nods to Desiraye, S'Krllk and Kri'lik and then looks over the newcomers.

S'Krllk mumbles, "There's always some slavering monster somewhere wielding enormously destructive energies and threatening the galaxy, the only reason we feel safe is that we don't know about it."

Last to show, as usual, Parson arrives upon the bridge with a smile to his crew-mates even as he yawns and scratches the day old stubble on his jaw.  As he looks for a place to sit, "So when's chow?"
