Chapter 5:Journey into the beyond
"Checking for potential malfunctions..1%.....45%....87%....99%...no malfunctions detected, system all green." The cold, emotionless, feminine voice of the ship AI reported to Victoria. It's a Alpha Class artificial intelligence, so it doesn't have any kind of emotion, and is incapable of symbolic thinking and complex combat maneuvers. But it is still capable of acting as a fire control system, automatic travel adjustment and some management of the ship.
"Good work Jane, start to disembark in 1 minute." Victoria commanded as she returned to the sofa Akarthus is sitting on. She was still in her underwear with the stocking, since no one other than Akarthus is going to see her for the next few days as they travel through hyperspace, and she is fine with Akarthus seeing her naked, not to mention underwear. "So darling, prepare yourself, we are disembarking from the ground of a planet, there will be gravity and acceleration problems."
"That's not what I'm worried about," Akarthus sighed as he look around the living room. It is somewhat organized and clean, although there are still some boxes and machine parts lying in the corners. "What I'm worried about is the gravity system failing while we enter hyperspace. This ship is not built for hyperspace and so is the old second generation gravity generator. If it stops working, things would get mess really fast."
"Oh, don't be so worried, things would be alright, put some faith into your work." Victoria sat down beside Akarthus and said, waiting for the sudden acceleration of the ship.
"I hope so...." He said while putting his arm across Victoria's shoulders as the ship starts to accelerate and they start to feel the push.
They are experienced enough to put light items that would be knocked out of place in the desk or some storage areas. The force of the acceleration isn't really huge, but it's better for them to stay seated.
The disembark didn't took long, although this is originally a star liner, it still has a super sonic combat speed and sub light travel speed. They didn't really have time to talk before their ship left the planet's atmosphere. Of course, they have already contacted the planet's security army before for their disembarkation so no one questioned about a ship leaving the atmosphere.
"Jane, enter hyperspace after 1 minute, the destination isAztelan III, exit hyperspace after reaching the location." Victoria commanded without even standing up, "It's the time we test if our hyperspace shiftier really works with this old ship darling~"
"Well....We should hope for the best..Or else we would end up maybe 10000 years to the past." Akarthus joked as he took a slip of the hot tea Victoria prepared for herself. "Ummm...This tea is really nice, maybe I should start drinking tea."
"Then I will make some for you after we enter hyperspace," She smile, "It is better for your body than alcohol."
