Kelda Space Port, East Corvorda

At the Kelda Space Port, home to the largest docking ports for civilian transport with a select few military docking areas for new ships and other projects; a group of 2 Scorpio class aerospace research vessels, Peace Bringer and Piercing Light, were heading for the space port, doing all the usual things required to dock on the building.(Probably a fairly tall building, able to hold most ships that can be imagined, at least with civilians. Military vessels have to be attached to the side of the building without being directly docked within the safety of the station.)

"Kelda Space Port, this is Delta Bravo India Zulu- One Five Five Eight Zero, we are entering your airspace for docking, over."

"Kelda airspace traffic control, requesting permission to enter airspace, Zulu India Golf- Five Five Six, military access code india sierra epsilon five one three delta nine", ''the captain of the second Scorpio, Catherine Cabral, leader of the expedition that was being embarked on, said over the radio to the traffic control tower on top of the station. Catherine Cabral was a very odd woman, standing at just under 5’ 9”, and at 30 years of age was very young to be given such a powerful position as leader of the expedition.''(Mostly putting this last bit in cause I can)

"Kelda airspace traffic control here, you are both cleared to enter our airspace. Proceed to your assigned docking tethers."(totally trying to do this professionally.) A moment passes without anything said, and then "Catherine Cabral, you have been patched in with the military control center and the cargo and passengers are to be on route shortly. All other vessels to be under your command are docking at their designated locations and will also be proceeding shortly.(not on this station, others across Yevata, for the people who didn't get the memo)."

''A hologram is displayed on board the ship, showing where on the tower to move next to. The Scorpio's move to the docking area as the tethers of the station start extending out, reaching for the ships, which were currently using their small reserves of monopropellant(RCS system. Reason for it: It's best to have a back up when the other forms to move the ship fail(and easier to control than other systems like normal rocket engines or what we likely or do have in RP), especially since this ship is going to be exploring without much in the way of support and resupply) to get closer to the station. The tethers magnetically connect to the ship, keeping it in place, and a walkway starts extending out from the station itself, towards the ship's standard air lock exit on the port side. After about a minute of fine tuning the positioning of the walkway to the air lock, the walkway extends the rest of the way, and locks firmly in place to the outer edge of the door framing. Electrical power was connected to the ship, and the anti-matter catalyzed fusion reactor turned off, being maintained in the air by the ships anti-gravity, along with the tethers and the walkway. Catherine Cabral sits up and walks out of the bridge, heading towards the nearest elevator.''

The scientists were waiting outside the airlock.

“Nice to see you, Captain Cabral. Permission to board?”

“Come on in, plenty of rooms still left.”

The team of scientists went into the ship to their rooms, unpacking their luggage and getting ready for the very long journey ahead.(it’s not actually that long, but it’s longer than most expeditions would be, and definitely won’t be seeing anyone else, really, for a while)

''The cargo and supplies for the trip were being loaded, but in the meantime, the scientists and other men to be aboard were settling in and getting comfortable with the rest of the people they’d be spending the next few months with. Cabral checked up on the rest of the ships preparing to go along with her ship and the other ship, and all of them were on time, some of them were even early.''

Finally, the walkway was retracted, the tethers released, allowing the ship to depart for the skies, and head towards the unknown.

“Squadron 19, are you moving into position?”

“Flying upwards and preparing to dock”

The squadron of SMF-500’s slid next to the ship, 16 aircraft in all, 8 attaching to either ship(internal bay occupied by a new design I’ll have to make)'', and finally, once that was done, the two ships starting heading for orbit. The 8 Scorpio class ships gathered together, and then set up the warp drives to send them to a new system, presumably unexplored, as no documentation has been recorded, really, with other systems, when it comes to system habitability. They left, heading towards the selected system…''
