Torpol Highport
Hired. As an engineer? We'll see how this works out. No demo, and we are out of the system ASAP. Could be good? Well. I said 'anywhere'.
Torpol System - Transit to Jump-point
Captain Cal: Calculating gambler. May be worth spending some time getting to know. Don't bet with him. Part engineer, so, I'm not working alone.
Ashe: Hansome/pretty? Very good cook. This will be worth the trip, alone. Have had too much bad food on ships. Look them up later. Associate of the Captain.
Kalidaren: Broker, and another part-time engineer. Kalidaren has a touch with a wrench. I can learn stuff from him. The three of us might make a decent work-crew. Likes order, so we should get along. Also an associate of the Captain.
Cerabu: Our patron. An uplift ape. Don't irritate him! Good competition with my bots, for upper body. He's probably stronger, actually.
So, I'm the odd person out in this group. Everyone else is, at least, familiar with each other. Something to keep in mind.

Take a moment to review the Launch Solution software, to see if it can be abridged. There could be savings of computing space or calculation time. Let's see...

Jumpspace to Marduk
Jump Travel: 1104-365 to 1105-007
Luckly, there are days of time in Jump... And Jeet will take the time to go line-by-line. Using 8 hours a day, it will take until just before Jump emergence.
There is hard math involved. Any changes will take an Astrogator, a Pilot, or both to review any work.
All missile and torpedo salvoes fired by the ship gain a DM to their attack rolls equal to the Launch Solution package’s score (so, Launch Solution/2 grants DM+2 to all missile and torpedo salvo attack rolls).
