It seemed that the test that he wished to enact and for Gelbia to pass, was one that seemed for him to be unable to complete. So far, he had enlightened them on the mechanics and facts about navigation, showing off his intelligence. There had been many many stories about Kirk and the Enterprise, and then his familiy's own stories he had heard, and the stories he and his crew would also create for the future generation and generations after. It was from these stories that Matthew knew that as much as space was exciting, it also had it's problems, and with it's problems, it sometimes took risky manoevers to keep them out of danger. He didn't know what awaited them in their journey, but if he needed to take a risk, to throw safety protocols out the window, to save their lives, he needed to know how effective his crew would be. If Lieutenant Gelbia could go beyond the safety protocols, to take risk with a shuttle, who knows what he could do with a starship if he had to order a risky manoever later down the line. This was the test he wished...well to test.

"I deeply regret being unable to show display some of my abilities, but you see in order for me to showcase my navigational prowess we would have to place the shuttle in some sort of danger situation. Simply explained, my abilities amount to being able to take control of any vessels navigation system and for a finite amount of time guide that vessel through the reaches of space with exactness of precision. As I would not like to put my fellow crew mates in such a scenario, I'm afraid I have failed you miserable." Despite how Gelbia seemed displeased by the fact he had disappointed him, he seemed to see the risk involved which is what he wanted, though the next part he wished to see was him taking such risks, in the case that such a situation arises in the future, and he did not like to give tasks that his crew simply could not perform. Afterwhich, the shuttle was then propelled forward as Gelbia explained how "The closest a shuttle, or any other vessel can get to a star ship is approximately 32 metres", before he looked out the viewscreen and saw the shuttle getting closer, alot closer than the 32 metres he had told him.

It was better to try things out, to test and correct mistakes, rather than making a mess of the real thing and really making things worser than things already were. Even if he had done what he hoped in taking risk, he couldn't help but give a smile. Matthew was a daring man, and often called bluffs, testing how others react, see how far they go. In his career, he had certainly done well in the way he acted, as he then spoke up, "I believe you have passed my test Lieutenant. Now if you would, to prevent us lingering too long in a place too close for comfort, return to the standard distance of 32 metres and show us the Yeager, the top, underside, the warp nacelles, everything that you can, for it's this beauty that's going to be our home for some time now. Once you've done, signal the Yeager to dock, as there should be crew on there to open the hatch".

"Impressive flying Gelbi", Liam then said aloud just to bring a little humor to liven up all this tension, before returning to his slumber, resting easy as the shuttle flew across the sky, while his eyes looked out the viewscreen to see the ship he would be aboard. He was responsible for keeping her and her crew safe, and that he would do. Liam was not a man who liked to let people down, especially a beautiful woman, unless they were bad girls, then that was another story, something he wouldn't get himself into....
