Genesis 2 p.12
�Captain,� interrupted Lieutenant Hardy, �Space Control has given us clearance to head out again.�

Mansel took his position behind his chair.  �Very well,� he said.  �Coordinates input, Mr. Broadaway?�

The helmsman nodded.  �Yes sir.�

�Clear all moorings.�

�Moorings cleared, captain.�

�Maneuvering thrusters.�

The Explorer eased out of the Spacedock towards open space, guided by its maneuvering thrusters and Lieutenant Commander Broadaway�s excellent piloting skills.  After a few short minutes, the Explorer�s translight nacelles were clear of the bay doors.

�Translight speed, Mr. Broadaway,� ordered Commander Vaughn.  He looked over at Mansel.  �We�re picking up the same place we left off?�

Mansel nodded.  �Yes.  Back to the fun stuff.  Go.�

The Explorer powered up its translight engines and shot off into space, hopefully to find more adventures.
