Bog was caught buy surprise and steps aboard as the ramp and the shuttle it’s self begin to rise. Scrambling for the copilots seat. “Excuse me Alfred.”as he sloped in to the seat and buckled the restraint harness. “ Counselor don’t pick any fights, the armor is not complete.”

Bog

“Really? Leviathan is right there. Why not pick a fight? We’ll just lead them back and let tactical have something to do.” It’s unclear if Casela is serious or not. Once Bog was in she hit the control to shut and seal the door. “Seat belts?” She sounds slightly offended. “I’m an excellent pilot. It’s not my fault I got shot at.” Her hands glide smoothly over the controls, as if she’d used this configuration over a dozen times. Good thing for looking over schematics. Valkyrja lifts off the floor of the shuttle bay and hovers smoothly and turns towards the door. As the bay doors fully open she maneuvers the shuttle out of the doors and once clear, =^=Valkyrja to Shuttle Bay Control. We are clear. Valkyrja out.=^= Casela turns the shuttle smoothly and does several large loops and passes around Leviathan. The maneuvers mimicking a fighter wing attack pattern. Then she turns away from Levi and punches the impulse engines and Valkyrja shot forward. A testament to Bog’s skills, the inertial dampeners keep the shuttle from feeling like it actually jumped forward, negating the temporary push back from the acceleration.

There is very little to avoid in the area of space where they are. The controls take barely a touch to maneuverer the small craft. “Ah Bog, this ship responds almost like their is a neural connection.” She pulls the shuttle back down to a lower impulse and then works it back up slowly taking a measure of her paces. “Alright Mr. Bog, choose a destination and let’s try out her warp drive.”

As Bog sets a course for a small rouge planet just shy of a light year away. “ It’s not your flying that concerns me, rather your landings, counselor.” Turning over his shoulder.” Believe me, you do something stupid and your HUI will scold you like a Tellarite brood sow.”

Bog.

Casela’s eyes lit up in silent laughter, “Will he really? Oh I have to see this.” She adjusted the flight course so that they came just a little too close to a nearby moon on their way to the rouge planet. They skimmed the atmosphere of the small moon, and it felt a bit like hydroplaning. The shuttle skimmed over the top and then she turned it in a sharp spin back on course and then engaged the warp drive. With the shuttle set on course she turned her seat to face Alfred, arms crossed, the hint of a grin on her face, waiting…

“That was a rather childish attempt at goading me, Miss Casela. You will have to do something worse than skipping of the atmosphere of a small moon.”

Huey.

“You and I are going to get along just fine.” Casela turned to Bog, “I like him.” The shuttle flew the distance to the rogue planet. Casela brought her out of warp and into a smooth orbit. “Alright, she flies and maneuvers amazingly. Show me the rest.”
Lt. Synthi-er

The weapons systems and twin shield generators came on line, a class V phaser ring mounted both top and bottom, plus a pair of micro torpedo launchers with six round rotary magazines.

“Designate your targets Miss Casela.” Huey spoke up.

Casela pulled up the shuttle’s sensors. “Ah, here we go. Several sizeable ice chunks. No gravitational pull, no raw materials, and no life. Just ice.” She turns and looks at Bog. “Don’t need to blow up anything that would cause a fight.”
Lt Synthi-er

The sensor suit was an upgrade as well, heavy on the passive but with a healthy active kit as well. “Targets squired Miss Casela.”

Huey

Casela looked at Alfred and blinked. “You do know what to do don’t you?” She snickered. It was good the thing wasn’t trigger happy, but…”So Bog tell me, if I’m actually under fire is this thing going to actually work and take over or will have to give him step-by-step instructions?” She looked back at Alfred, “Let’s use phasers. No need to waste the mini torpedoes. Fire please Alfred.”
Lt. Synthi-er

Bog sat silent, but grinned. Wile the shuttle shuttered as the over powered phasers fired.

“That entirely depends on your orders and the threat I perceive, Miss Casela.” The ship seconds per bank.
