Silhar:
When the rest of the crew was busy chattering about with the ship's AI, Morgov went to park his ATV in the destroyer's hangar. After a while he came back, fiddling with keys ringing silently.
"Ve might azzume zhat I'm done wif inztallation.", he comments, smiling. "A ??????? hangar ve have, ??."

S.K. Ren:
Evedro spent the first few hours performing routine check-ups on the ships various systems. Despite what the stupid A- , what 'Carrion' said, he wasn't going to fly around in this thing unless he was sure he wouldn't be vented due to a rusty bolt or weak shielding plate. Everything seemed to be up to acceptable levels, although there was always room for improvement.
  "Well everything looks to be in working order," he said, returning to the bridge. "I'll have to bring in 'Charon' later after we have left port. Tell me when you are ready to leave so I can prepare."

Malek Deneith:
After Carrion's last comment something resembling a laughter could be heard coming from Doran, though it quickly was replaced by a coughing fit, which ended almost as quickly.

- "Well that's a pragmatic AI if I ever saw one. Let's go to the bridge then, I'll need to learn more about this ship if I am to command it."

Xander Morhaime:
"Statement: Of course, captain. The stairs leading up to the bridge are on the fore and aft sides of the control tower," Carrion instructed.

The bridge, once found, presented a much more impressive sight than the rest of the ship. While the previous owners apparently didn't care much if their wall plating was dirty and its colours didn't match, the bridge was fitted with some very up-to-date tech. Near the front was a command chair and a holographic interface console, as well as four secondary control stations lining the room's sides. No windows, but the walls and roof were lined with a display screen that flickered on to show the docking bay outside. Behind the helm was the main access terminal for the ship AI, with a tag (the sort you'd see on dead bodies in a morgue) attached reading "Carrion: 20:46, 5th Feb 2785, Gulo II ACNF".

The holographic display was switched to show a rotating layout of the ship as Carrion explained the various elements.

"Explanation: We are currently in the conning tower, located here," a fragment of the display on the top of the ship flashed red. "As you can plainly see, the ships control systems are located here. Crew quarters are located here," twelve rooms lit up on the display. "The ship can accommodate a larger crew, but the previous owners saw fit to convert the fore staterooms into recreation and social rooms, leaving the aft rooms for quarters. Weapon systems are located here," this time, four pods on the sides of the ship's hull lit up. "This ship as at its disposal two fore dual CairoCorp Pulsar-300 series turrets, and two aft CairoCorp Lancer-450 series turrets, customised to provide greater accuracy. Power plants and propulsion systems are located in the aft pods," the display lit up the two large structures at the ship's rear. "The medical facilities are located at the base of the conning tower, while the engineering bay and hangar are in the aft. You will note the remainder of the ship has been given over to cargo space," this time, about half of the ship display flashed to show the spacious hold.

"Additional: Should you have any further questions, or any orders for me, I await them with great anticipation."

UltimateChaos:
Vince started to grow restless.  He had already spent far too long in one place than he would have liked.  This discomfort had been growing ever since he set foot into this empty metal vessel, but had been abated slightly by the presence of the A.I.  He couldn't quite explain it, but he felt more of an affinity toward the synthetic intelligence than the rest of his "friends." 

The military types couldn't be rushed, he may as well find the medical facilities and distract his mind somehow from this lingering unease.  First, however...

"Carrion, I'm interested in hearing more about... yourself."  Smiling slyly, he imagined the faces on his companions to be quizzical.  "Tell us about your functions and capability, and anything else you may feel like sharing."
