Once again the chosen humans gather at the mansion and are led into the woods behind it. There waits a sleek silvery wedge of a craft propped up on three legs extended from the hull. A long entry ramp extends from a doorway where Anu, human disguise forgotten, serenely stands.
"We are all ready then?" he asks.

"I suppose ready as we'll ever be ...
...this looks like something off of TV."

Nailah just shakes her head in slight disbelief, part of her still wanting to doubt that this is an actual space-ship.

"One thing to talk about it, another thing entirely to see it, aye?" Samantha said as she walked up behind Nailah with her bags.

"Dear God it's beautiful..." Steve said, smiling at the craft.

"I'm still half expecting it to be chicken-wire and aluminum foil..." she admits.

Steve knelt down and gave the thin metal ramp a knock. There was a satisfying metallic sound.
"Well that's certainly not a painted prop."

"It's just utterly baffling that this would even be possible is all."

"Believe me, I sympathize, but..."
"...well, I wasn't going to pass this up."

"Oh absolutely. I'd always be wondering." she says, taking a step up the ramp.

"If starry space no limit knows
And sun succeeds to sun,
There is no reason to suppose
Our earth the only one.
'Mid countless constellations cast
A million worlds may be,
With each a God to bless or blast
And steer to destiny," Steve recited in response.

"Going to be a long trip," she said as she followed Nailah up the ramp, casting an eye to Mr. Jones.

"I'm not sure if I'd trust your opinion on literary worth." Nailah says with a faint smirk.

"This is amazing." Rachel said. She was carrying her doctor's bag, along with a small suitcase, and had a rucksack slung on her back.

Anu steps aside to allow entry. The inside of the vessel is all curved white walls and smooth chrome, the sterile serenity broken by the occasional bright blue light fixture along the walls and a gold band where wall meets floor. It is almost like a hospital corridor.
"Welcome to my humble vessel."

Bear was dragging along several satchels full of film, lenses, and at least four cameras hanging off her neck.

Nash didn't go in right away. He took some time to walk around and get a better view of the outside of the craft.

Steve carried in his twin suitcases, whistling at the shining interior.
"Very nice Mr. Kalverathrix. Very nice."

Except for the door and where the three legs emerge, the exterior of the ship has no other openings or any signs the craft is more than a single solid mass.

"I'm afraid quite a bit of that is classified information, Miss McManus."

"Very impressive." Nailah says with a polite smile as she steps inbetween the two and into the ship with her bag.

"The storeroom is this way," Ellerbee answers as he enters behind them, now a red version of Anu with slightly different facial features. He moves down the corridor.

"As comfortable as one can be at the prospect of being shot into space, I suppose." she says, not nervous at all.

"I believe you will find the sensation of transition negligible in its discomfort," Anu states.

Nash finally entered the craft carrying his bags. As he looked around at the interior, there was a touch of disappointment on his face.
I expected this to look so much cooler
