Nova watched as Jendu tried his hand at the co-pilot's station. He seemed to have a decent handle on the sensor suite and the deflector shields. His scan of the comms could use some work, and his astrogation calculations... would have been a problem.
"Not bad for your maiden voyage, Senator Verbenti." Nova meant it and tried to say so reassuringly.
"Angling the deflectors and working the sensor array went well for your first time. But when you next calculate a jump, prep your realspace origin and point of entry before trying to map any coterminous coordinates in hyperspace. That should help with determining route. And it's not ideal, but if necessary, you can add a couple of days duration to play it a little safer."
OOC: Retconning the order of my previous two posts, haha! I've edited my last post so that Rahullu and I had the private "peptalk" conversation before I demonstrated the co-pilot duties. Astrogation, Communications and Sensors (combined as Com-Scan in the Introductory Adventure Game edition), and Starship Shields are all MEC skills. That said, I have seen Search rolls, under PER, used to notice or interpret weird results and anomalies. Will keep it in mind to add the governing attribute and skills for rolls next time!
Rahullu howled some food for thought just then. Nova nodded. "Yeah, I hope he's not down for the count. He was so eager to volunteer too. If he doesn't make a real recovery soon, we may have to drop him off at the closest Medcenter and hope his health stabilizes."
She took a deep breath and starting looking around for a breath mask. Gloves too. "I should see how our sick friend is doing."
