In ship-shape

<SNIP>
They looked up and saw a ship, "So this is the thing we went for?"
Kevn said.
"Thats our ticket outta here." Johnny said.
Soon they reached the summit, "This is the Rig." HIM said.
"The Rig? I like the sound of that..." Kevn said.
"Lets get outta here," Johnny said.
Kevn went to the cockpit and started it up. There was a hum from the
engines, "Yeah nice and smooth." Kevn said.
The ship rose from its rocky grave and rocketed into the nebula.

The Rig looked like an old transport freighter. Johnny noted you could
fit at least a couple of Space Eagles in its hold, maybe three or four
if Jay or Amber loaded them. It looked like a rusted crate, and you'd
expect it to not be an atmospheric bessel, and therefore you would
think it had crashed on the planet and be unable to take off without
some sort of assistance. It would have made Keats think of a C-130
Hercules - a big cargo plane that handled like a pregnant cow.
However, it handled smoother than anything other than the Pheonix,
which Johnny had the pleasure of piloting just twice, and one of those
time earned him 8 weeks paint duty, but it had been worth it.
It also seemed to have the power levels of a starbug, even though it
was much larger.
However, the controls seemed a little weird, andit took Kevn and
Johnny a little to get fully comfortable witht he controls.
Now, you can fly a transport such as this with two pilots, but the
manuals usually recommend four.
Suddenly the ship rocked and Kevn and Johnny were thrown forwards.
"Ooops." Kevn stated. "That was just a fluctuation in the air pressure."
"That's alright." Johnny said, who'd experienced it many times -
pretty much each of the times he'd flown with Dean.
The Johnny noticed something flashing on his co-pilot's console.
"What's this?" Johnny muttered to himself, thinkng it would probably
be alerting them to some significant damage that would mean they had
three seconds before the hull would implode.
Instead, it read 'Turbulence detected. Do you want the Inertial
Dampeners activated?'
Johnny found the affirmative button and pressed it.
"Wow, it was so smooth taking off that I thought it might have
Inertial Dampeners, but I assumed they would have already been on."
"Now, how do we find the Blue Dwarf?" Kevn asked.
Johnny found what he thought would have been a navigation console and
pressed some buttons that he thought might have something to do with
plotting a course.
Then HIM started speaking again and told them how to plot a course,
and then gave them a specific course to plot. Johnny entered them and
then they sat back as the autopilot took control and would take them
on the complex course they had put in,
"I wonder where it's going to take us." Kevn said.
"I hope we've done the right thing." Johnny replied.
