Adventures in Space/AiS Promote Nern
From Create Your Own Story
You leap at the opportunity to bring in talent. Plus you can't resist the opportunity to poach one of commander Gersalt's staff - a friendly rivalry exists between the two of you. You summon Lucinha Nern on the computer comms.
A short, twentysomething lady with red hair appears on the screen. "Communications Officer Nern?" You enquire.
"Yes," she pauses.
You fill her in with your name and the situation, concluding with, "so if you accept, you will be promoted to captain of the Claud with immediate effect. Upon successful return I will consider your position permanent. I can only offer you 20 minutes for your decision."
After a slightly nervous 15 minutes, you are relieved to see the comms light up with an incoming call. "Lucinha Nern here, commander. I would be honoured to captain the Claud on this mission."
Kij brings up Grand Commander Phogison. Nern's picture reduces to half the screen to accomodate him. Although he is fairly well advanced in years, modern treatments have allowed him to keep a full head of striking shiny brown hair.
"Congratulations, Captain Nern," he begins in his gravelly voice. "I've always said you'll make a fine captain when the opportunity arises. Well get to it, then." With a kind nod his picture disappears and is replaced by your other captain, Hazael Sozin.
You brief Captains Nern and Sozin on the mission and blast off! During mission hour 38 the Claud begins beaming across visuals of the stricken craft. The best reconnaissance equipment is on the Claud. The Jarif is the largest ship, with excellent laboratory facilities, and is an all round good ship. It carries spare fuel. Sozin's ship, Mortis, is your bodyguard; it boasts the LDG's longest range weaponary.
