Chapter 166: 166
The Titan was truly staggering easily making an aeroplane look like an ant . "Now my crewmen are already expecting guests and have been specifically ordered to be on their best behaviour so nothing should happen . " High Admiral Ruri explained to us as we set foot on the ship . "Welcome aboard my ship the ASF Thunderer one of the six Titan class Sky ships . " High Admiral Ruri smiled welcoming us . "We'll be entering through the top hatch straight into the command deck, please keep your hands to yourselves and follow me . " She instructed giving one of her guards a nod, the guard approached the hatch pulling out a handle turning it like a dial lock and plunged it back down causing the latch to release and open slowly . One by one the guards climbed down followed by Ruri leaving two guards with us .
"After you . " They spoke out to use instructing us to climb down . The command deck was surprisingly basic compared the outside appearance, no computers at all . . Just lights buttons, levers and headphones attached to the walls .
"How is the recharging process going?" High Admiral Ruri asked out loud to her large command crew all standing up saluting her .
"Captain Engineers report an estimation of 6 hours . " A male student notified her .
"Very well . . Back to your posts . . Tell the rest of the fleet to remain on stand by and no active weapons . " She ordered looking a little disheartened . "Ohh and let the entire crew know that we have VIP's on board . " She added .
"Yes Captain!" they all replied in unison taking a seat putting on their headphones . "Let's head to my quarters . " She instructed us and began walking towards a door .
"Hey Ashley . . They don't have computers here . " I asked him .
"Yes . . Paul brought back computers from your world . . . that's why Atlantis has them . " Ashley whispered to me .
"Oh . . . . " I replied in shock .
"Their systems are bit more rudimentary the light represents things like engineering failure or . . hull breech and stuff . . . . and the headphones are a directly line to different parts of the ship to receive and send messages . " He added .
"Like a cup and string?" I questioned .
"Huh? . . " He looked at me thoroughly confused .
"Basic principle of how sound can travel through a string to someone listening . " I explained to him .
"Ahh yes yes . . . exactly like that . " He nodded .
"It's hard to imagine that such a primitive ship can even fly or even have such devastating weaponry . " I commented to Jay .
"That's the power of magic . " Ashley smiled .
It felt so weird being in such a militaristic setting, each crewman we passed would stop what they was doing entirely stepping aside saluting their captain and us, waiting for us to pass before carrying on with what they was doing .
"This is it . " High admiral Ruri notified up placing her hand on what seemed to be a normal metal wall of the ship . Without even speaking the words of a spell the wall opened up for her revealing the captains quarters .
"Added a few new things I see . " Ashley commented walking in .
"Being Captain of a Titan ship isn't as exciting as you might think sadly . . " She answered taking out a bunch of scrolls and books .
"Would your chaperons like a tour of the ship? . . " She smiled .
"You trust them? . . " Ashley questioned her offer .
"A friend of yours is a friend of mine, and like I said before you're doing me a favour so I should repay in kind . " She smiled .
"Well if you can ensure their safety then if they want . " He reluctantly agreed .
"I'll have my personal security guard and my second in command escort them . " She offered giving us a look as if asking for approval .
"Well . . . it's up to you guys . " Ashley offered .
"Umm High Admiral Ruri . . We'd rather not get you in trouble of cause hassle . " Jay answered her after we looked at each other for a few seconds unsure how to answer .
"Nonsense I insist . . " She insisted walking towards a nearby phone and began speaking into it . "I've asked for your escort to come . . Don't worry you'll be in safe hands . " She smiled . "Feel free to enjoy any of the recreational activities we have on the ship or the food . . I've made it top priority to serve good food to my crew . " She smiled .
"Captain you called for me?" A male voice called out from the entrance flanked with two guards in black uniform and a sidearm attached to their hip .
"Ohh Officer Jun . . Please come in . " She asked him .
"Yes Captain . " The young adult male walked in taking a slight pause in his step when he noticed Ashely .
"Everyone this is second in command Officer Jun Ono . . He will be escorting you around the ship your escort and tour guide . " She informed us .
"But Captain is it safe for you to be left alone?" He questioned her order .
"Jun . . Ashley and I are good friends you have nothing to worry about . " She calmly replied to him with a slight smile .
"As you wish Captain . " He nodded walking towards us holding a hand out to shake our hands .
