And is there anything I can bring you during your rotation, or when I come relieve you?" Do you happen to know our first destination, so I can get started plotting our course?"
Chick's antennae flicked twice. "Oh," she says with obvious surprise, "I would have through Ashheart would have told you. Each 'jammer session is 6 hours, and then another 6 hours assisting whoever replaces you. I would think that would mainly be providing food and drink as needed or perhaps a momentary step-in to allow for personal needs, like running to the head. Based on the rotation, that would mean I am providing support for you, you support Anders, Anders supports Bazz, and Bazz is my support. Ashheart will play a tri-note followed by a duo-note to indicate shift change. Thank you for offering to get me something, but I'm good for the moment"
She brushes a hand over one antenna in what Melville would guess is a nervous gesture. "To my understanding we are headed for the shell, so I would think that would be the first course to plot. If you'll excuse me, I need to go ahead and start the warm-up."
She settles herself on the bench and lays a hand on the helm. Everyone on board feels a soft thrumming from the ship itself as the helm comes alive and begins to power up.
