Mevan stepped into his new ship. He was greeted with the new-ship-smell despite it actually being older then he was, but after having it extensivly refernished the sweet, sterile smell of a ship that needed to be broken in was assured. Everything had gone to plan, after entering through the wide metalic hallway he was greeted to a delightful sight. soft fabrics. The hard, dull metals had been covered and fitted with homely colours and the circular room was fit enough to through a party in. It took up a bit of the budget, but it was worth it. He climbed the small stairs and inspected the rooms, and they were all exactly the right size and furnished like the entrence room. He decided to not inspect the cargo hold or engine room, they weren't fabulous and they weren't supposed to be. But after passing through the dining and recreation room (with en suite kitchen) he went to the bridge.
The soft fabrics stopped and everything wasgrey and sterile. Mevan sat on the right of the two chairs in the cockpit and looked through the huge glass window to the outside world. He through a wave to the mechanics, signaling his pleasure and went to fiddle with a few of the controls. oy-o-boy, she was a beaut...

Ross entered into his Padawan's new ship, noting it's side as he did so. The ship was a lot larger than he had expected it to be, for he was not expecting it to be sizable in the slightest. In fact, he was more inclined to think it would be quite small. However, he was pleased at the surprise. He hardly wanted Mevan to be disappointed in what he had made.
Walking through to-wards the bridge, as he was sure Mevan would be there, Ross glanced around curiously. It had been a while since he had been onto a ship so he wanted to know just how he had decided to furnish inside. It was far better than any ship interiors he had remembered, even if he was almost certainly the owner of a grander ship at Naboo. There was a slight worry for Ross however. That was that Mevan may become too attached to it. His own master had always warned against being too proud of possessions, so it was key in his mind that he should try and make sure his own padawan wasn't.
''You have a very nice ship here, padawan'' he said, as he spotted Mevan sitting down in one of the chairs. ''I hope that it flys as well as it looks at least''.

Mevan span around in the chair, flipping a switch as he did so. 'Ross, master!' Mevan said in surprise, as he did not here him come in. 'I can guarrantee it will fly very well.' He said, a smile on his face. 'And it'll fast, comfortable and invisible, should we need it.' Mevan said, spinning back to the dials and flashy buttons in front of him. 'This is your chance to decide which of the rooms is yours, I expect to be using this often, and since your my master, you deserve a specific room.' Mevan stated.

''I apologize if I startled you slightly. Perhaps I should have made myself more noticeable'' Ross said, noticing how surprised Mevan looked. He shot him an uneasy grin, hoping that he wouldn't be too unimpressed. ''I am pleased in your confidence in its abilities then. We shall probably need a wide range of them when we start our first proper missions'' he added. ''Well, I should like quite a decent sized room. I am your master after all'' Ross replied to the offer of a room.

'I'm sure she won't dissapoint, I have full confidence in it.' Mevan said, returning the smile. 'I'm sure it'll be with me till the day i die.' He sighed, patting the plateing. Mevan took note to stop flipping random switches, he diddn't mean he wanted the ship to be the death of him. Hmm, witty anecdote! Mevan turned back to his master and looked dumb for a minute, blowing air from his mouth lazily and putting his hands behind his head. 'All rooms are pretty much identical I'm afraid. There are eight in total, I guess you'll have to just go with your own instincts on this one Master.' Mevan said. 'You passed them, they are through the doors in the hallway just before the stairs going up to the dineing room.' He said. 'The names on my one, so you may want to invest in a nameplate of yourown.'

(OOC: Sorry it's taken me so long to reply. My Internet hasn't been working very well).
''Well, you sound rather attached to it. Although I don't think that is a very good thing'' Ross hesitantly stated. He was shy at the very best of times, and he just didn't feel very comfortable with saying rather definite things. He didn't want Mevan to have a bad opinion after all. ''I just think that perhaps you shouldn't get so attached to personal belongings....'' he added, trying to justify what he just said.
''I shall have a look around the ship in my own time then. I think that there would probably be a room that appeals to me more than any others. It'll probably be the one furthest away from any main activity. I like the quiet'' Ross said, ''I will have to look into a name plate then. I think I will be using the ship often by the look of it''.

Mevan silently listened as Ross explained his disapproval of Meavns affection. 'I... see.' He said, not looking into his masters eyes. turning again to his set of controls he ran his hand across the status screen and smiled. 'I'll be sure to...' Mevan started. He heasitated and turned again. 'Yeah...' He finished, with little effort.
'Oh, and i don't actually expect much action on the ship.' Mevan said. 'It's more of a getaway ship, It's front cannon's can fire sideways and there's a ramp door either side leading straight to the cargo bay.' Mevan said. When mevan thought about it, this was turning out to bare the traits of a smuggling ship. 'And i take it there there has ben no word of a mission from the counsil?' He asked.

''I will thank you for any effort that you put into not becoming too attached to this ship. It is certainly something to be proud of, but Jedi do not do well to have possessions. At least, that is what my master told me'' Ross said, although it was surprisingly authoritative for him. He figured that he should match the effort Mevan was willing to put in to try and be a good padawan. The effort put in should be equal on both sides, after all.
''Well, I am sure that a getaway ship will come in handy. I'm not a brilliant pilot so I probably wouldn't be able to put up a good fight in one of these anyway. I'm more suitable to lightsaber combat and un armed combat even more'' Ross explained. ''There has been no word of one yet. Although if you are eager to go on a mission, then perhaps I could ask a master if there is anything available?''
(OOC: How do you go about starting missions? It would be good to start one I think).

Mevan yawned, he'd not had much sleep on account of the exitement. He's glad it went well, but he saw how his materialism may become a problem. Best to keep that in check. 'Sure thing, Master.' Mevan said. He got up and smoothed his robes. 'And don't you worry about piloting, i'm fairly good at it. It can be manned by one person, but it takes two to do all the works effectivley. I'm sure we could hire someone, or get a droid...' Mevan suggested. 'And, if you could get a mission, that would be brilliant.' He continued. 'Something offworld, inner rim.' He asked. 'Best not get in too much of a mess, eh?'
(OOC: I'm not sure. you could just make one up.Not sure, I've been here pretty much as long as you.)

''I am glad that you aren't being persistent on the matter then'' Ross said, relieved. ''I wouldn't want you to be the type of padawan who is arrogant and refuses to listen to help'' he added. ''A droid would be very helpful actually. They are good companions and would be ideal for you should you ever need to go on a mission away from me. It would mean that I could contact you as well if I would ever need to''.
''It sounds like a mission that a master said was open to anyone who wanted to accept it. There was something on Naboo I think. I wasn't too sure about going, however, being as that was where I was born'' Ross said, recalling a mission he was told about by one of the masters.
(OOC: I kind of made one up if that is okay).

'Come now, Master...' Mevan said, dissapointed. 'It's only Naboo, i'm sure that there isn't anything on naboo that'll intimidate you, surely.' Mevan said, recalling Naboo's fairly pacifist government and society. Sure there were some damp marshes and large underwater beasts but they were unlikely to encounter any of those. 'It'l be fine, Master, the council wouldn't send a newly bonded mster and padawan on any kind of suicide mission and i'm sure if we do run into trouble, we could take it fairly easy...'

''I see that you are rather eager to go Mevan'' Ross said, finding his eagerness really pleasant. He was glad of the fact that he wanted to get out there for some action. Being a Jedi who was more skilled at physical combat, he greatly preferred physical activities than just sitting around Coruscant. Training at the temple was all well and good, but it was nothing compared to actual training on other worlds. ''I see your points as well, which is why I will go and accept it. I would like to see your abilities anyway on a n actual mission. It will help me to evaluate where you need extra help so that you can become a successful Jedi Knight''.

'Hmm.' Mevan said, in mild agreement. 'I'm hoping This'll go well.' Mevan said. 'It'll be an important day. I get of this rock, our first mission and the ships maiden voyage.' Mevan announced, quite heartedly. 'I'll probably have her christened and calibrated by the time you get back, I have a name in mind...' Mevan pondered for a moment and nudged past Ross. 'I'll show you where the rooms are, you can pick the one you want, and yyou'll know which is mine.' He said. He turned, facing Ross. 'If you have any food i guess you may aswell bring it onboard, It's going to b my home, so it may aswell be yours, Whoknows, mabey we'll even start a crew.' Mevan said, chuckling. He stopped the banter and and nodded. 'Not a bad idea, actually...'

''What name would this be?'' Ross asked, certainly interested. He was going to be using this ship for a long time so he would like to know just what it would be called. He'd hardly want to be in a ship with a poor name, even if that was a bit of the snob inside him speaking. ''I will be pleased to have this as a home then. Perhaps I will repay the favour when we get to Naboo, and invite you to stay somewhere where I own. It seems only fair'' he promised. ''The crew idea sounds rather good as well, even if I would find talking to new people rather challenging...''

'Well, I'm sure having a home on Naboo will be dandy.' Mevan exclaimed. 'Fresh air, nice people and excelent scenery...' He explained. 'But, yes... A crew would be usefull. Nothing to 'piratey'...' Mevan said. 'Perhaps a cook, a pilot, a navigator perhaps someone who can guard the ship when we're gone.' he said. Mevan contemplated the idea and came to the most alluring question, concerning the name. 'As for the ship herself, I'll call her The Delphinus Crescent...' He said. A story was behind the name, nothing special but a story none-the-less.

''It should be'' Ross replied. ''It's a rather grand place as well, if my parents permit us to stay there. We will be well looked after. I can promise you that''. He then considered what type of crew he would like to be on this ship. Mevan's ideas were all very good, and he was interested. ''Well, I would quite like there to be a wide range of aliens running the ship. It would be nice to have a few as I am sure you will learn many things'' he stated, smiling. ''That's an interesting name. I like it. Do you have any reason for that choice at all?''

'Well i'd be really greatfull if they could lend me a place...' Mevan said. Mevan drumed his fingers on the wall of the ship. 'When i was smaller I remember a story i was told about a star system call the Delphinus Crescent. It was supposed to have five planets, all lined up in the same orbital path and that each planet was some kind of paridise.' Mevan laughed. 'Well, it's obviously not true but when i was young I wanted to go there... I guess thats what got me into space travel...'

''They should do. My parents are nice people I believe so I can't see why they would have a problem with it. I would be rather excited actually to see them again'' Ross said, smiling. ''That's a very nice story Mevan and I'm pleased that the name of the ship evidently means something then. I'm sure that I had would have heard a great deal of many ridiculou stories when I was a child if the other younglings would have actually liked me. However, I am afraid that I do not have any similar stories to that''.

((No probs.))
'Ah well, the past is a silly thing anyway.' Mevan said 'Whenever you want to leave I'll take off.' He continued. 'I'm not sure if i need any sort of special permission to leave the planet, but i'm sure the law can deal with that if I'm wrong.' He laughed. 'And I'm not sure how long it will take but I'm only so good at piloting. If you know anyone who can pilot I'd be greatfull.'

''It is indeed. That is why the Jedi don't want their pupils to dwell on it for it only leads to them getting bitter I suppose. Not that I am an expert on the morals of the jedi, however'' Ross said. ''We can leave now then if that is what you want. I have nothing to do on this planet so there is nothing stopping us if that is what you wish to do. However, I do not know any good pilots. Perhaps we could find one on Naboo?''
