GK gasped as they started to lift up, then smiled and laughed at herself. "What about Lepar?" She said. "Thought she was the Sniper Expert here." But she smiled Shoulda got a sniper, GK, shoulda got one. She thought to herself, being slightly trained in the Sniper department, she would've been ok. "Serves her right, shoulda came." She said. She continued to smile. "So, guess we're finally get a start on huh, Ghost Town?" She called to the c0ckpit.

"With pleasure." Daniel said, almost politely as he could. Then he began to flip certain switches to turn on the thrusters and jet powered engine. "Thrusters on, engine check, preparing to increase the power." He spoke as he lowered a bar forward. The ship began to hum, and vibrate slightly. He felt good inside. Being around so much technology and equiptment comforted him. The ship was moving slowly to the hanger door, then it began to go faster, faster, faster. "Begining launch into the open." Daniel felt a smile stretch on his face, his eyes became determined and and the same time they glinted. "Five," The wheels on the landing gear were spinning, faster, faster, and faster more. "Four," The humming sound began to get louder, but still soft at the same time. "Three," The doors of the hanger began to open, their thick metal screetching against the floor. "Two," Daniel gripped the handles on the wheel that could steer the vessel. "Better buckle up back there!" He shouted to the back. "One!" He shouted as the ship flew out of the hanger, sweeping the wind throughout the inside, and then they were up into the air. Daniel gave a sigh of relief, then glanced at Ghost Town. "What?" He groaned.
GK buckled and looked out her window. They were off the ground now. She smiled "This'll be real fun" She laughed without meaning to. "Yo Shep! Wanna make this faster for some more thrill?! Everyone back here looks to glum!" She called loud enough for Ghost Town and Shepard to hear. She sighed as the plane went higher in the air. She was going to have some fun whether or not it mattered. She smiled again as she said "We're in for a treat, team. Just remember that, we'll be the winners out there." She said to all the others in the room.
William growled darkly at Shepard, "Was the take off necessary?" Just because the landing gear were on the ship didn't mean that had to used in a traditional sense. As soon as William finished Emili started up, "This ship has the capability to rise horizontally then accelerate forward via the propulsion systems. The landing gear can be used like an ancient plane's or simply to hold the ship in place." William nodded slightly at the dashboard, a gesture he realized was rather silly only afterwards. Shifting in his seat he looked out the front window, the low sitting clouds swirling easily. For a moment William had vertigo, but then in the next he realized that they were free. They could go anywhere, do anything. Then again, he thought of Emili. She had a direct link to NAGA headquarters. He would just end up being a drone working like all other Bio-Agents. William slumped deeper in to his chair as GK continued to shout out her ramblings. She had a knack for being rather annoying. William shot her a dangerous look, "Winners? What are you, a motivational poster?" He sat forward sarcastically and made a mocking innocent face, "Come on kitty, hang in there!" Within a second his sarcasm was replaced with his usual angry frown. Emili's voice managed to catch the angry man's attention and take if off of GK, "Commander, the coordinate are entered and we are approaching maximum velocity and cruising altitude. It would be prudent to switch on the auto-pilot." William turned his face toward Shepard, as if to ask permission. The man looked as giddy as a school girl to be playing the Panthera, it almost felt to good to say it, "Very well Emili. Switch on auto-pilot. Keep Shepard up here, just in case there are enemy ships approaching." Emili's reply was short and sweet, "Very well Commander."
Soon after take off, Guinevere felt a sudden rush of need to explore the vast carring capacity of the USS Panthera. Taking a few minutes, the woman glanced across from where she was sitting and made perfect notes in her head as to where things were placed, such as the kitchenette and the lavatory. Pushing herself up from where she had sat, the woman flitted across the metalic ground and presented herself to 'Ghost Town.' In a soft voice, she asked, "Ghost Town. May I take a look at the other areas of the aircraft, sir?" Guinevere stared directly at him, never flinching. In theory, the woman was used to the emotionless people, as she was one of them too but sometimes she felt a little alone. Maybe, this feeling was because she was a girl, she didn't know, but showing emotion was a sign of weakness.
Daniel shot Ghost Town an angry glare. "Kill joy." He scoffed. He relaxed into his seat, letting the auto-pilot take control. A long awkward silence passed between the two agents. Daniel figded in his chair, and then spoke, "So..." He started, not making eye contact with Ghost Town. "It's uh..." His eyes trailed around the room, and then he looked forward for a moment. Daniel then turned to look at Ghost Town. "It's a very nice ship you have to admit that." Daniel leaned in his chair.
William tossed a look at Patruskia as she approached, a little bit before Shepard actually started talking. He thought for a moment, there wasn't much to explore in this place. However he hadn't bothered to check and see if they had a lower level. That might have been where all the engineering stuff such as the power core and weapons systems were at. He thought for a moment, perhaps even the gun controls. He lifted a brow at Patruskia, she was the heavy weapons expert. If anyone would have fun looking at the powerful weapons on the Panthera, it would be her. William turned to the front Dashboard and said, "Emili, is there a lower level on the Panthera?" Emili immediately responded, "Indeed Commander. There is a hatch in the cargo hold that leads to the lower level. Generally it is for the technician crew but it does lead to the weapons control system. There is a full automated rotating machine gun turret below. Heavy weapons expert Choroskia should be more than qualified to operate it. There is a control chair and trigger interface to make the weapons fire." William nodded almost happily, "Thank you Emili." The AI didn't reply so he turned back to Patruskia, "Very well. Go look at your new toys." He waved her off easily, knowing that she would probably be occupied until the mission was to begin. It was then that Shepard had called him a "kill joy". William didn't respond though, he did actually like the idea of killing Shepard's fun. At the comment Shepard made about the ship William shifted in his chair. "That she is. Flies wonderfully too," William finally replied. Emili interrupted to the two, seeing as she had been there the whole time, "That would be the inertial dampeners. You will feel only a slight discomfort at the velocity we are traveling at. Normally this speed would confine you to your chair making it difficult to breathe. However because of them you are able to walk the cabin without and notice. I hope this is to your liking Commander." William almost grinned, "Indeed it is. Steady as she goes Emili." The AI replied in that same fashion she always did, "Very well Commander."
GK fumed as she heard Ghost Town's comment. Then growled as she heard him copy a stupid poster "Hang in there, kitty." She clenched her fists. I wont hurt the commander. She told herself. She got up and explored a little. She went into the womens room again and checked it out. She peered into the mens room without going in.That man better know not to mess with me or, commander or not, he's gonna get it. She thought angrily. She continued looking around. Well this ship is nice. She thought.
Daniel finally was able to sit comfortably, but it mostly had something to do with making his chair lean back a little further than normal. "Again, this is a really nice ship. I could get used to this." He smiled, as he did before when he had boarded it. Still that thought of those people that intercepted his transmission filled his mind. Was he doing to go deviate from the mission, and go meet at the point they wanted him to go to? Maybe the people they were going to attack were the same people that contacted him. Daniel wished so much that the others may have had the same transmission as he had, otherwise, he might just have to go alone. Thinking about all of it disturbed him, and a worried expression appeared on his face.
"Thank you." Were the only words that escaped the upturned lips of Guinevere as the woman quickly turned away only to give a little squeal of excitement as she moved across the aircraft. Taking huge strides, she quickly reached the hatch that Emili had told them about. She bent her kness slightly as her dainty arms grabbed ahold of the handle and pulled with only a little strength. It opened with a light bang, it's dimly lit hallways of the lower corridor. Guinevere slowly jumped down, landing on the metalic floor with a soft thump, eyes searching for the control room. Turning her head she caught the words 'Machine/ Weapon Room' and she opened the door ever so slightly. Her blue eyes widened in shock at the many diffrent weapon controlers there were for the USS Panthera, spining around she found a cot where she could sleep on. "I'm home! Finally." She squealed.
