Chapter Five:
Navigation
((chaos))
"Ok..." we walked into the bridge. "So what do you do for navigation?" Shion asked.
"Well, it's pretty easy stuff..." I said, walking up to my computer. "See this? It's the navigation system." I pointed to a mini Elsa on the screen. "That's the Elsa. The waves you see are coming from the ship, going outwards. If it hits something, it'll show up on the screen." I pointed to various other dots on the screen. "You get it?" she looked as confused as I did when we were cooking earlier, but I went on. "Now, if you want the specifics on the objects, like size, speed, and distance from the ship, just give 'em a poke." I poked a dot that was quite far from the Elsa. "See... this asteroid is pretty small, only a couple miles in diameter but... it's going at around 350 miles per hour... and it's 200 parsecs away from the Elsa. You get it?"
"I think I get it..." I moved away and allowed her to view the screen. She poked randem dots, looking at the stats.
"Now, if anything gets in really close range of the Elsa, all you have to do is talk to Captain Matthews, and he'll tell Tony to change course! Easy, eh?"
"Well... pretty much. It's really simple... I think."
"Ok, good."
Shion went to the doorr. "Meet me downstairs for our next lesson. Time for Kos-Mos' tune-up."
"Another lesson?" I groaned, jokingly.
"Oh, hush. It's not that hard."
"Oh really?" I asked. "Easy like curry, right?"
She laughed, and the door began closing. "Just be there!"
I closed down the program and turned off the computer. Walking down the hallway to the elevator, I heard a voice calling...
"Chief! Hey, Chief!"
"Chief?" I muttered to myself. "Who is... oh no... Alan."
"Chief!" I turned around, and sure enough, there was the Vector employee. "Hey... what's up?" he tried to be calm, but worry showed all over his face.
'No wonder Shion doesn't really see anything in him... he can't even talk to me straight.' I thought. "Nothing..."
"Would you like to go out to me with dinner? I mean... go out to dinner with me?"
"Um... sorry Alan... but I've gotta go work on Kos-Mos."
"Oh?" his face perked up. "Well, that's ok, I can help!"
"No!" I nearly screamed. "I mean... no." I calmed down a little. "It's all right... chaos is down there... he said he'd help me out."
"But Chief... won't I be better off at helping with Kos-Mos?"
"Uh... well... you should rest... you know? You just... ate!" I began rambling on without thinking. "You must be really tired after all that food, you should take a break! Don't worry, chaos and I have everything all under control, don't you worry about a thing. Ok? Well, Kos-Mos awaits, see ya!" the door closed before Alan could get a word out. 'My goodness...' I thought. 'How can she stand him...?'

A/N: doesn't Alan have the perfect timing? lol. well, R&R! since i have everything retyped, it's all good. coming up next... Kos-Mos' tune-up. sorry for the short chappies... i wanna keep each of the lessons seperate... but don't worry, it gets longer.
here's where i need ur help reviewers! since i'm getting far in the story... it's time to incorperate the next character... soon.i know how it's all going to work, but i need to know something. do you want this to be VERY complicated, and a bunch more longer, by me tossing in Albedo? or do you just want chaos' girlfriend to be the main villen? tell me in the reviews, and if you want Albedo in it, give me ideas on how to incorperate him. i won't give the story away here... so it'll be hard for you to give ideas... but just tell me wht you think, and i'll see wht i can do. thanx all!
