"Shoot, that's a rough deal," Ryan noted. "I dunno if I could put up with wearing a mask all day." He saw the man moving into the seating area and followed him in.
He headed to the front, looking out the window over the endless sea in front of the ship, the few seagulls flying over the ship the only indication that they were near land. The water was almost blinding as the sun reflected off the rolling waves. He noticed the woman just coming in and sitting in the back.
Hmmm, I wonder how many people the heads are actually sending on this trip? I would think there would be more than just the three of us.

He sighs, finally getting a seat to himself as he looks around seeing who else will join them. He saw that farm boy walk up to the front of the ship seated area as he looks back and see a woman. He got up and started to explore the ship. Needing something to do as he walks towards the back walking pass the woman.
Her breath quickened. Someone was coming to the rear of the ship. She could hear the heavy and slow proding of a man's footsteps. Rayai was close to being able to getting off Voluspa and getting precisely what she needed, that is, as long as it truly existed.
The sound of the man coming closer made the blood pump through Rayai's veins to a point where she could hear the sound in her ears. This was a stituation she was not suppose to be in, however, she knew she had to be there. She wished and hoped that the man would not come towards the barrels or that he would start looking around things. Atleast until the transport got underway. Then, she would be a little more at ease.

Aeryn saw the man walk by her. She noticed his shirt and saw a bright red come from it. She looked away. The colors were still all there and they were not disappearing like before. She blinked twice as much and twice as hard to make them disappear.
Aeryn turns away from the man and looks only at her bag. She rummages through her bag and finds a little machine that she built before coming onto the ship. All of her tools are in her bag but she doesn't look at them. She presses a button on the machine to see if it works. It turns on and plays a soothing song that everyone on the ship can hear. Aeryn notices that some of the people on the ship are looking at her. Not wanting any attention she panics trying to turn it off.

Tig would stop right beside the woman and look at her. Saw her fumbling with her things though her bag. He was getting a little, anger at she try to fool him, but then he saw her pull out something and push the button and music started to play. For once he felt, calm. Inside his mask he smile a little as he then release his emotion and quickly hid it.
"Whats your name?" He ask nicely as he sat down the seat across from her. Now not interested in looking around the ship.

Silence. An immersive, disturbing stillness.
Roscoe hated that too.
Another feature of the ship he had grown to depict as the typical example of a stygian punishment. He had constant conflicting thoughts and they were becoming more and more contradictory of everything he had once thought. It troubled him, but not enough to force him into action.
The silence was helping.
He opened his eyes now, to see the room. Dimly lit, a dusky somber. The recycling of the air was so proficient, so effective, that it made no noise, and gave barely a hint of a breeze.
The air was close to stifling, but bearable. The stale air gave an accent to the deathly quiet and the poor lighting.
He got up, and paced the room.
From one side, to the next. He made a circuit about the room, revolving the bed several times, setting a course to the shuttered window, and back around again.
He did all of it sulkily. His feet grew heavier as he went on.
He stopped, putting a fist to his temple. Wincing slightly, he took tired punches to it, thinking, muttering.
[i\]Do something... come on...[/i]
He opened his eyes, and looked left.
Well, there was the door...
He walked out.

Aeryn flinched as the man spoke. The years of avoiding people had made her jumpy to say the least. She was always by herself and only ever had the machines that she built as companions. After she had begun to see the bright colors she avoided people even more.
The man sat down across from her. He asked nicely for her name. Aeryn was still blinking a lot but tried to slow down so that the man didn't think of her as strange. She turned to face him . "Uh..My name is Aeryn Lamar. Whats your name?" While speaking Aeryn's hands were fidgeting with the machine that had been playing the music.

Tig watch her nervousness as she spoke. She didn't seem afraid of him, but shy. He couldn't understand why he was feeling, good about himself since the music was playing, but he didn't want it to stop.
"My name is Tig smith. Mind if I ask you what music that is?"
"My name is Tig smith. Mind if I ask you what music that is?"
Aeryn looked down at the machine. Pointing to it with her pinky. "Umm...I don't know. I heard it one day and couldn't get it out of my head. It just kept playing and playing. So one day I decided to build a machine that would play it for me whenever I wanted." Aeryn looked at Tig's mask and saw a bright green color that obviously only she could see. She quickly looked away and decided not to look at him directly anymore. She thought that he might take it the wrong way but she no longer wanted to see the bright color. It seemed that everyone on this ship had a bright color that was on them. She had never seen it on a person but these people seemed to have one.
She stammered trying to find something else to talk about. Looking at her machine she asked in a quite voice that was barely audible. "So what are you doing on the ship?"

He saw her look away when she look at his mask. He figure she was nervous of the way he look. Normally he would take this offense but now that didn't matter. As he heard her question and said "I was chosen to be part of the crew. My engineering skills are unmatched by most people. Why are you here?" He ask in as he wonders why she was here as well.
The travelers where now on board the ship.
Around them lights flickered to life and the inner workings of what was a lifeless husk flicked in front of the ships navigation suddenly a screen shoots up accross the front of this craft. They are met by a figure, an old man with a dark complexion, and a beard. The travelers would recognize this man as Jona's a member of the council whom was well known by any who had studied the city's history as few as that may be.
"Sorry I took so long I needed to get the calibraqtion data in order for the ship to bypass the shields, that could have been a mess I tell you now. Ah well it's good too see you all made it, except...." Jonas sighed "best I check for him" the old man wondered off for a minute or two then was back.
"Seems he overslept, but that is not why I'm speaking to you now is it? So if you would kindly all take a seat" He stroked his beard and contemplated for a moment, both allowing the ckines to sit down and for him to gather himself before continuing " You will be the first to leave Voluspa in a very long time, you won't know how much this means to us. Now, lets go through the basics, I assume you all recieved your instructions." He looked at Roscoe "Except you ross you always seemed to be out and about so I'm afraid this will be all new as it will be for you Ryan."
"your mision will be as follows, you are to proceed to one of the destination highlighted on said map and from there on you are too find and log other societys their cultures and their tendancy's"
" Now as for how you'll accomplish this, there is a PDA for each of you In compartment 137. This has all the relevant data on anything you'll need to know. Just search it and you'll be fine. Now as for your command structure, seeing as Roscoe is by far the most senior member he is to lead this crew. Now as for the..... A figure walked on board " Ah good to see you made it"
"He turned it took a while, I'm here now though. He took a seat at the helm of the ship and went silent"
"Well If you have any more questions Cecil here can answer it. However most of are spread throughout the back six lockers from 131 too 137, after take off you will hook an APC onto the bottom of the ship and from there on out you will be alone. The ship is set to return to voluspa the moment you all disembark. The password to the APC is 19287, it's armor is around 8 inch's of solid titanium so youu won't have to sorry about your safety."
Jonas stoped he sighed as tried to finish this. " I feel it's imperitive to you the counci.... We, decided it would be for the best if your emotions where kept in check as such you will be required to wear the helmets and suits provided, this will allow you to operate the ship and apc. But If they detected a high emotional response for a prolonged period, well to cut out the details you won't be using you nogins for much longer. I'm required to make sure you put on those suits now. But I feel I best leave that up to you." The screen went blank, Cecil put on his helmet and began piloting the ship, the take off began.
A map popped up on screen "So where are we headed"

Aeryn heard Tig ask her a question. She looked at the machine playing with the wires with her fingers. "I can build things. What I mean is...I can build anything mechanical. I like machines they don't ever do anything unless you tell them to. Also I guess it may be because I've been seeing bright col..." Aeryn's voice was cut off by a man appearing on a screen at the front of the ship. The man told them about the mission and what they would need to do and where to go. She was glad that the man's voice cut hers answer short. It would be better to not tell Tig about the bright colors that she was able to see.
Wanting to hear what she was going to say, but decide best for another time. He sat back in his seat, no bothering to put on the helmet as he already had a mask on. He hope he made the right choice in accepting this mission. Even though part of him was thinking it was right to do so as he would get out of the city.
Guys with my AS levels coming up 
I'm going to have to revise alot and catch up on my ICT. (Little tip get it done earlier rather than later or you'll kick yourself) So while I'm sure with my impressiveness I'll be able to handle all of these, but so things don't go stale shout if you don't mind giving me a hand with things.)

Rayai felt the power turn on to the ship and she felt a surge of energy run through her. She wasn't sure what that feeling was. There was something that made her look forward to where the ship was going to go. She was going to have a chance at her mission.
There was a voice that made the others go quiet. She barely could make out what some of what the voice said, but she felt it irrelevant since she wasn't even supposed to be on the ship in the first place. Then, the voice stopped and the ship began to move.
More footsteps made their way towards the back of the ship and again; she attempted to crouch lower into the barrel with hopes that she wouldn't be found just yet. She was even unsure if someone came into the room and flicked the light on as to whether or not they could see a shadow in her barrel. There, she hid and waited.

Aeryn hesitated to put on the mask. She put it on and the colors were all gone. Everything was back to its dull grays, whites and blacks. She frowned and looked around. Before she would wish for the bright colors to disappear and now all she wanted was for them to come back.
She suddenly got up and walked to the storage room door. Putting her hand on it she saw that the bright blue color from before was now gray. She slowly opened the door and looked inside. Noticing the barrel she stared at it for a few minutes. She walked towards it but then decided to ignore it and turned around walking back to her seat and sitting down.
