Coffee in the Corridor

Shocku grabs his coffee and heads out the door of his suite aboard the Thor's Hammer. The vac hardened portal swooshes open and he almost runs into Grievance. He looks down at his shirt and watches as the slosh of coffee that spilled is attacked by nanobots, beads up into little balls, and boils away. Dust falls slowly to the corrugated flooring where it will soon be consumed by the cleaning beetles. "Good work on the salvaging last night, Grieve. We made over 16 million just on the stuff we sold!"

Grievance grins, "Nothing to it Shock, you and our corpmates did all the shooting."

Shocku nods, "Yeah, well it was a bit nervewracking being the tank on a level 4 mission against the Serpentis, but we had plenty of help. We will have to be able to do it on our own soon I think, but hopefully Capt Plat will be around with his..." Shocku pauses to think, "Is that hulking thing called an Armageddon? I still don't know all the Gallentean battleship classes."

Grievance runs his hand along the bulkhead of the Minmatar ship where form follows function and shakes his head, "Couldn't tell you, they all look like bugs to me."

"Speaking of classes, I noticed you haven't done a whole lot of specialization in missiles."

Shocku looks at Grieve, "You do know that as Minmatar we have to know both Gunnery and Missiles?"

Grievance nods, "Yeah, yeah, its just that you had me study up on my science so I could operate those tractor beams for that salvaging you were just beaming about. Say, you don't have a book on cruise missiles do you?"

Shocku touches his temple, activating an implant, and stares into space for a moment, "Aye, I have one in Scuelazyns. Its more than 5 jumps off but I hate to buy another one. Lets take our shuttles."

Looking longingly at Shocku's cup of coffee, Grievance groans and then heads to the docking bay, "Just how I wanted to spend my time before breakfast."

Shocku follows after him, walking carefully so as not to spill any more of his coffee, and calls after Grieve, "Just think how glad Tapper will be when you learn how to launch those cruises!"

As his shuttle shoots out the launching bay, Shocku swears under his breath seeing that he just missed Babe as she docks her destroyer. He met her salvaging their wrecks on another mission, and it would have been nice to chat her up a bit in station.
