The Merciful's command deck was a flurry of noise and activity. Seated in the chair at the centre of it, Sanngrior was perhaps the only point of relative calm in the face of the immediate takeoff. Her crew were noisy and disagreeable sorts, and the rumours about where they were going - and why - had set all of them on edge.
Sanngrior herself merely stared at the display screen in front of her, and concentrated on directing the ship up and out of the atmosphere. Beneath, she could make out that the dock was filled with people eager to watch the departure of The Merciful in all its glory. Who could blame them? The ship was a sight to behold, and as it burned its boosters into overdrive, the whole space port was filled with the thrum of its engines.
The world lurched and shifted as she directed the enormous vessel out of the atmosphere, and in an instant it was just a dwindling speck against the infinite backdrop of space.
"Where are we going, Captain?"
Sanngrior's hand waved over her console until the computer showed her the planet Shikk, arguably the industrial powerhouse at the heart of the Saiyan Solar Empire. Her voice was perfectly steady as she gave her response - one that sent a shiver down the crewman's spine.
"We ride... to battle."
