38 hours till lift off.
Lt. Thyte lays on one of the emegency bunks that creaks under his weight. He looks around the room and notes most of the bridge crew are at the forward galley or refreshers. "Kinmel for Hydan, that means I will have to stare at 2 rodians every day. It does mean I don't have to look at Dayson every day. Okay, I'm good with it. After the 34 to 30 hours before lift off we will to split the shifts to allow for crew to adjust to normal shifts."
Sleep comes easily only broken by an unhappy Dayson returning from the Probe Droid Bay.
As you return to duty, Thyte spends his time chewing Engineering for not having power to sensors and comms and then trying to find Loh'Khar so he can chew him about the Astrogation charts he promised.
Ensign Ban yawns and brings back the data points for the 2 charts. (Astrogation vs. 3D you have 1 success of the 6 needed)

Lt. Slyer takes a seat on a bunk as he agrees with other commanding shift officer, "Hopefully we won't be jumping blind when we take off, otherwise normal shifts could be the least of our worries." Swinging his legs up, Phillip closes his eyes and tries to get as much rest as possible.
Re-entering the bridge for his shift, Phillip smiles as he watches Thyte use his people skills. Catching his eye, Phillip nods subtly to let fellow officer he was on duty once again before heading towards the astrogation terminal where he finds Ensign Ban yawning.
"Better get those out of your system now, we're going to need every bit of focus we can muster if we want any chance of getting at some charts that won't have us coming out of hyperspace in the middle of a star."
With that Lt. Slyer takes a seat next to the ensign and begins his work.

OOC Must finish actions in Friends in High places to see if Slyer and the Astrogators will be receiving some better charts.

At 30 hours before liftoff a transmission comes in from Lok'Khar. As the data is downloaded Ban, Slyer, and Thyte celebrate astrogation charts that are only 4 days old. The happiness is slowed when Phillip learns never to high five a cyborg and ends up with a hand wrapped in ice. The charts combined with the other two data points should make the astrogation calculations almost standard. (Astrogation vs. 2D you have 1 success of 6 needed)

The Bridge falls into a businesslike routine as the Astrogation charts are readied, the R3 droids are all networked, and the ship's diagnostics all clear. After a impromptu ceremony outside the ship by the local church who worship the Kathol Prophets (whatever that is) the bridge crew have a small toast provided by Loh'Khar and are ready for liftoff. The two XOs have a satisfied feeling as the repulsorlifts are engaged and the ship lifts off into the black.
