"Welcome aboard the Qi." Her body visibly relaxed. It felt good to be back on her ship. This place had been her home for so long now, and now she had a crew for her again. The ship lit up as she stepped inside, revealing a steely-blue interior. The main-deck airlock opened between the medical bay and the starboard cargo-bay, it didnāt show off the bulk of the ship, but the clean lines and brushed steel made the shipās military lineage clear.
"Weāre on the main deck here. Most of what youāll need is here. You can store your gear in the cargo bay there." She gestured to the first set of doors on her left. "Donāt store anything in the port-side bay, the one behind the engine room. Thereās Space Spiders in there. Just, donāt go in there okay? Nothing but Space Spiders in there." She noticed Monty had already started moving his gear into the cargo bay. That was good, while the others were settling in sheād have to show him the Bridge. She also saw Zasha make a bee-line for the engine-room. She seemed eager to start work, a good sign.
"The lower cargo bay is down that ramp. The lower deck is for the shipās cargo only. Unless youāre loading or unloading, thereās no reason for you to be there. The Space Spiders will find you and I wonāt be held responsible for what happens if they catch you. " She took a few steps into the interior, letting the others come further onboard. As more people stepped on board more of the ship lit up.
"Thereās the gym, itās not much but thereās some gear there to keep your bone density up if weāre spending a long time in The Black. Bathrooms are here behind the med bay. Youāve got one shower room and two lavatory rooms, learn to share. I have my own facilities." She stopped at the air-lock lift that lead to the second floor. "Communal dining hall and bunks are on the bow-side from here, should be enough bunks for all of you, two people to a room if you can. If not, find somewhere else to sleep, Iām not picky. Up this lift is the Bridge and my cabin. This is an air-lock lift so itās not fast. If you need to contact me or the bridge, thereās a communication panel here. "
"Weāre stocked alright, but we should be getting more supplies soon." She glanced over at Charles. "And thatās the tour, any questions?"
