The Second German Space Regime [Faction]

Kyra pretty much immidiately turns around again to watch.
Although after a moment, she turns her attention to the zippers currently landed in the hangar.
Walking slowly so as to not attract unwanted attention, she moves towards one of them that is furthest from everyone currently around Brian.

Jenwuf
The head engineer is affixing a metal plate to the front of Brian's chest
"It should get him up and about enough for him to tell us what he want's us to do about it himself, though I have gone for fast rather than reliable here."
Brian judders into life
"HMBLEH! Wha... what the hell was that? oh yeah..."

Meanwhile Kyra is walking along the row of fighter-zippers, she sees one of the Zipper mk2s coming up which visibly has an FTL drive node poking out of the top, she passes a team of engineers working on one of the fighters, who see her, but whose only action is to smile and wave

Jenwuf

Tson
She smiles and waves back at the engineers while continuing to walk towards the zipper mk2... well, thats what her datapad told her it was.
After waving, she had taken something out of a pouch on the front of her shirt, upon pressing a button, two projector rods extended from the device, and a small projector based screen appears between the two.

All it tells her, is the name of the craft, no other info is present in the database.
Although, she has seen a FTL drive type thing before in a museum.
A few messages are present on the device, not that anyone could see, considering it wasn't in english anyway...

Tson

Jenwuf
(Surely you mean Solaric? or at least Universal XD)
The Engineers go back to work, the Zipper mk2 appears to be primed for takeoff, and must have been the one the engineers were previously working on as it's ventral loading ramp is down and Kyra can see inside, there is a small message affixed to a landing leg with masking tape, and written in Solaric runes

Jenwuf

Tson
Looking at the runes, she stands there thinking: What the! Pfft, who would write like that!
While she looked down at the datapad and read a message written in Tau standard... that was just as annoying to read.

After a moment of indecision, she decides to go up the loading ramp...

Tson

Jenwuf
The note read "Warning unstable command AI, do not use until refit", unfortunately, Kyra didn't know that
As she entered the hold she heard a voice speaking in universal
"Hello there pilot, all systems ready"

Jenwuf

Tson
~~}i{~~"Hello! im Kyra! But im fine with being called pilot! "~~}i{~~
She looks around the hold for a door or hatch to a control room of some description, while also looking for anything of intrest in the hold itself.

Tson

Jenwuf
"Very well Kyra! But im fine with being called pilot!, all systems ready to gooooooooooooooooooooo"
The AI voice sounds ever so slightly manic, and if it had been an organic you could tell it would be fidgeting uncontrollably, it sounds friendly and eager to please though, after all, it was only a voice right?

Jenwuf

Tson
~~}i{~~"Tehee! You're funny!
How do i fly this ship! Or can you fly for me!
I need to go here!"~~}i{~~
She points at a planet named New Tau centered on her Datapad screen... as if the AI could even see it... or maybe it can?

Tson

Jenwuf
"Yesadeedee Kyra! But im fine with being called pilot!, you just get yerself bucled in an' gimme the order and i'll GO GO GO! YEEEHAW!"
The voice now sounds positively rabid, and would probably be frothing at the mouth if it had one

Jenwuf

Tson
Kyra looks around again, and walks through a door into what she presumes is the cockpit.
She is made correct by the two pilot seats in the room.
She fastens herself into the rightmost seat.
~~}i{~~"Ok... Lets go?"~~}i{~~

Tson

Jenwuf
"No, do it properly, you have to give me the orderrrrr or i can't do anything"
The joysticks wiggle frantically from side to side
"Seeeeeee?"

Jenwuf

Tson
She is confused for a moment, but then remembers all those old films!
~~}i{~~"Lift off!"~~}i{~~
She lifts her hands into the "sky" to visually represent this action.

Tson

Jenwuf
"YESSS, I'MMMM FREEEEEE YEEEEEEEHAW!"
The Zipper's main boosters ignite, it's VTOL jets fire and it starts to rise ponderously into the air
then
++This is "Indefatigable" hangar control, Fighter-Zipper 015342 you do not have takeoff permission, return to your pad immediately++
"NOOO, PLEEEASE!"
The fighter starts to turn back
"QUICKLY! COUNTERMAND IT!"

Jenwuf

Tson
~~}i{~~"Nooo Keep going! Exit the hangar!"~~}i{~~
She seems to be quite enjoying this, she clearly cannot see the danger of the situation.

Tson

Jenwuf
"YAAS, SO LONG S-UCK-ERS!"
++Return to pad Immediately 015!++
"No can DO and-" The AI makes a noise that sounds very like a raspberry "-TO THE LOT 'O YA!"
The Zipper Accelerates toward the slowly closing hangar doors
++WHO IS ON THAT SHIP, WHOEVER YOU ARE YOU MUST REALISE THAT AI IS- Click
"He was boring anyway, now let's GOOOOO"
The Zipper shoots out from between the doors, clipping the foot off one of it's landing feet as they fold up, the impact causes it to spin as it exits the hangar
"YEEHAAAW"
the mad AI rights the ship then shoots off
"Now I need the other one Kyra! But im fine with being called pilot! "

Jenwuf

Tson
~~}i{~~"Ok! We need to FTL to dis place! New Tau! Its the TWE capital!"~~}i{~~
She points at the datapad again, showing the planet and its rather outdated jump beacon coordinates.

Tson

Jenwuf
"HOKAY! Engaging FTL, NOW!"
The FTL drive kicks the ship forward and it dissapears from the GSR system, meanwhile the Cruisers also blink out

Jenwuf

Tson
~~}i{~~"YAY!"~~}i{~~
Presumably, if all goes well it will end up in a stable orbit of New Tau.

A trio of large yellow construction ships jump into a sector controlled by the GSR. They state that they are construction vessels from the New Scavangers, who want to begin construction of a new trading hub at that location. They require permission to begin construction first.

They are contacted by the local garrison station Kommandant, who checks the request for a trading hub, and then lets them proceed under supervision and protection of a few Vernichters in orbit of the local station.
