Arek looked over at Nicole and nodded. "This is the 808 launching," he said into the microphone, feeling the g-forces push him back into the seat. The 808 transformed into it's human-like form and pulled out it's board, darting back and forth, as if the pilot was getting used to the controls. After all, Arek hadn't piloted it in a while. Hilda usually did.

Nic waited for Arek to get used to the controlls and then copied what Arek did. She hadn't planned on having to pilot the 909 so soon after learing the controlls. She was hoping to have more time to get used to them and know them better know them by heart. Nic launched and felt everything going right and started to follow Arek.

Arek looked at the coordinates on his screen. "Hap? You there?" he said into the microphone, hoping to hear Hap on the other end.

"Hey Arek can you get in touch with Hap im having some trouble talking to him." Nic starts to slow down a bit. Trying to stay steady and check all the connetions at the same time wasnt easy. Dang still nothing Nic thought to herself. This was deffinatly not going to be good.

"I've been trying to. I don't know where he is. I have no audio or visual," said Arek, starting to get worried. He had never done a mission before, just practices with the 808.

"Do you think we should turn back?" Worrying was not something that came naturaly but there was still that feeeling that something was wrong.

A message light flashes on the screens of both the 808 and 909. Haps friendly face appears.
Arrk:"I'm here, Arrk. What's up?"
Nicole: "Your flying kinda shakey there Nic. Listen, you two have atleast a two day flight to get to Del Ceilos. Why don't you take some time and run through practice moves along the way. The contact won't leave until you get there." Smile.
(I've got an errand to run, but I should be back in a few hours. I'll be checking in then)
As you move away from the cave, the Trapar levels begin to rise and the waves become calmer and easier to manage. On radar, two freight ships can be seen moving on a trade route that parellels the main trapar line. A group of skyfish can be seen skating along the top of the clouds near the route.

"Oh yeah that would be a good idea." Nic said already starting on some moves. Slow at first and then getting a little more comfortable with it. "Arek how you doing?"

Hap:"Nicole, try not to trail to close on any other vessels. We don't want them reporting your travel."

"Heh...sorry about that..." Nic managed a weak smile if thats what you could call it. And snapped back to what she was doing. "Any other tips you would like to share with me while im still listening?" Nic said while trying to keep her concentration.

"I bet I sounded desperate. Haha I jsut wanted to make sure everything was working correctly," said Arek, continuing on. "Did you say it's a 2 day flight? Does this thing have auto-pilot? You should've told me to bring a pillow and a magazine or something..."

Nic could only sigh and turn down the volume while she waited for him to stop. She really wishes that al of this would take less time than what was said. Two whole days with Arek well anybody was not something fun.

Hap to nicole: "Not sure." Looks over his shoulder. "Hey Mathiew. Any good advice for Nicole on her flight?"
From the corner of the screen Matheiws huge fro comes into view, then his grin. "Yeah, don't crash." with that he laughs and disappears.
Hap to Arrk: "Yeah 48 hours give or take. You might want to stop to sleep. try to stay away from the cities."
From off screen Hilda's voice can be heard. "Tell them about the soup and bread."
Hap: "Oh yeah, Hilda stowed some bread bowls filled with soup under the seat for you guys." Coveres his mouth,"Hopefully the soup softened the bread up for you.
"I heard that. No bread for you tonight!"
With his teeth gritting you can see Hap's eyebrow start to twitch.

(OOC: It's just a number Zumie. It means you get two days to practice your flying before it matters. Plus you can make a pit stop halfway to stretch and maybe run into Lenita... if she ever decides to come back. Talked to her alittle while ago. She says she's working on her Anemone costume alot)
