The passengers of the shuttle stepped to the deck just as Navarre bound down the steps and swung around to greet them. "Welcome aboard the Orpheus." He smiled proudly. "Antares class." The Oriental stated evenly. "Replaced by the more capable and much bigger starlet transports." "She'll get you there." Navarre responded evenly. "If you will follow me; we'll get underway." He then gestured to the black man standing nearest the shuttle. "Mr.Aurelius; you'll see a part of your duties here." "Delighted. Aurelius shot back. "She's a little bulkier than my last posting." "And this can handle towing a carrier barge?" Doctor Shell glanced around from where she had been looking up at the deck control station. "The Orpheus is equipped with dual tractor emitters and hard docking clamps with mag-lock systems as a backup." Navarre replied as they all started up the steps. "The can tow a starlet battle cruiser with ease enough." Navarre added, his mind going back to where his cruiser was safely hidden away.
