[Finished]A New Destination

[max]

"Mind if I fly?"

Max looked over at her, raising an eyebrow. "You know, the last time you asked me that, you nearly crashed the shuttle in the academy hangar." He moved out of his seat. "Please don't destroy the ship."

[Ryanna Denali]

"You won't ever let that one go will you?" Ryanna said as she changed seats and comfortably sat in the pilots seat. "Nothing will go wrong. Trust me." Ryanna said with a grin as she looked over the controls. Hmmm.

Making certain everything was in the clear Ryanna moved it up to go warp 6.8.

"Hang on!" She then pushed the controls forward.

[max]

The shuttle lurched forward. "Real cute, Ry. I'm going back there to see if we are hauling any other illegal merchandise." Max went back into the cargo area and snooped around a bit. He found some interesting parts to the slipstream drive and then something else. "Ok. That's new." He walked back out to the tactical station since, Ryanna looked like she was having fun. "Umm yeah, we are carrying tri cobalt back there. I think there might be some more to our mission than a little exploration."

[Ryanna Denali]

Ryanna was indeed having fun. The smile on her face definitely showed it. She had thought about doing something fancy at warp,but was quite certain Max wouldn't like it plus she also didn't want to induce a heart attack on her friend. Boy would that ever be bad. Although upon hearing;

"Umm yeah, we are carrying tri cobalt back there. I think there might be some more to our mission than a little exploration."

Ryanna immediately slowed and stopped the shuttle. If they had been in an old 21st century car the whole stop would have jolted everyone forward. Perhaps even out the windshield.

"What?!"

[max]

Max noticed the suprise on her face. "Yeah, exactly. With this shuttles cargo capacity, there could easily be enough here to destroy a star system."

[Ryanna Denali]

Ryanna turned in the chair,sitting on her knees facing opposite the window to do so.

"You think we're on an undercover mission? If we are why put us on a vessel that has illegal supplies? Certainly it would have to be one of those captain and above things." The wheels in Ryanna's head were so very obviously churning. This would be one of those things she'd sneak to find out about to report on when she was younger.

"Maxie..." Ryanna put a finger to her chin as she looked at Max. "Maxie would you mind..."

[max]

"No! Absolutely not. I am not hacking into starfleet for you again." Ry was looking at hiim, as innoncent as ever. Its always what she would do to get what she wanted. It always worked. Max rubbed his forehead. "If get into trouble for this, I'm going to kill you." He sat at the computer terminal and began to send a signal to starfleet.

[Ryanna Denali]

"If get into trouble for this, I'm going to kill you."

Ryanna giggled. "You always said that,and yet...I'm still here." Ryanna watched Max as he started to work. "Why are you doing it the hard way?" Ryanna inquired gently as not to rock the boat sort of speak. She did have a little more hacking experience,and coming up with different ways to do so since they last saw each other.

[max]

"I'm doing it the hard way because I prefer not to get caught. If you have a better way, by all means come over here and do it." Max began to open up files containing information on their missions. "nothing out of the ordinary here. Take a look."

[Ryanna Denali]

"Nothing out of the ordinary? Then how do you account for all this stuff?" Ryanna questioned as she turned back around and put the shuttle on auto pilot. She then got out of the seat,and walked over to a carrier that had been beamed aboard before she boarded. It was her cat,Calli. She was a mix of a calico and a tabby cat. After seeing she was fine Ryanna walked up behind Max and put her arms around his neck and sort of just let them hang there (obviously she was a tactile person.) as she looked over his shoulder to see what he had uncovered.

[max]

She came over and wrapped her arms around his neck. She always does that when she wants something. Women! Max looked on through the database searching for any clues as to why they were hauling it there. "All i'm getting is an exploration directive. Nothing more." Odd. . . Max shook his head.

[Ryanna Denali]

"Why don't you let me try?" Ryanna said as she stood up straight and moved next to Max's seat almost shooing him out of it as her focus and concentration was more on what had been uncovered. "I'll take over helmboy and you can go back to your job."

[max]

"Aye sir." Max chuckled as he went back to the helm and reengaged the warp engines. "Hurry it up, master hacker. Our ETA is three hours and thirty-seven minutes." He looked out the forward viewport as he took the controls back into his hands. He felt the ship move about as he moved it. It was a brilliant feeling.

[Ryanna Denali]

All Ryanna said to Max's statement was; "That's nice."

She was very lost in thought,and engaged on a hunt. Not many things could get through when she was entirely fixated on something. In a way it was sort of like talking to a wall. "Uh huh..."
Ryanna's hands just flew over the computer terminal. "Interesting..."

[max]

Ry was continuing behind Max, as he piloted the Alpha flyer. Max had an idea. He made some quick calculations. Yup, we have enough time. Max smiled and then brought the Flyer out of warp and did a barrel rool at full impulse. They were coming up on an asteroid belt. Max grinned. Let's have some fun! Max gunned the Flyer into the belt, dodging asteroids here and there and making a few close calls. He pulled the ship out of the asteroid belt unscathed and returned to warp speed. He looked back at Ry and grinned.
