> "Okay, we should be good. Koa, if you'd be so kind as to take the wheel?"
> Give up the pilot seat and, once Koa has plunked herself down, provide directions on where to go and how.
>"I got it!" Koa says, as she plops down into the pilot seat and taking the controls ably.
>You tell her where to go, and she nods. "Easy!"

> Before zoning out for the 'night': "Also, please, please don't hesitate to wake me up in case of emergency. I'd much rather get three hours of sleep and help mitigate an issue than get eight hours of sleep and wake up to find we're lost and missing some rocket parts and one of you is hurt."
>You give things last look over, and then prepare to turn in after making sure they don't ignore you in a problem.
>"You got it!" Koa says.
>"I wasn't planning on letting you sleep through a problem."
>You plop down for the evening. Or late afternoon, really. It takes you awhile to get to sleep, with a fair bit of tossing and turning on your part. You faintly overhear Koa and Aoi making small talk, not really saying anything of interest. Every so often you check to make sure Koa is still keeping her eyes forward, and she is.
>Eventually you do get to sleep, and sleep reasonably well. Upon awakening, you relieve your crewmates, finding a couple of rice balls Aoi made early waiting for you for breakfast. Taking over, you fly through the early AM hours, making decent time with only the sound of Koa flopping around in bed every to break the silence of the engines.You steal a glance every so often to see how she travels across her futon.
>The trip is completely uneventful. Eventually your crewmates wake back up, breakfast for them and late lunch for you is made. With them back in place, travel continues apace as the new day wears on.
>Ahead, you approach the space where the missing star in the Daitengu constellation used to be. It is, as you might expect, completely devoid of anything that seems to be a star or much of anything else. There do seem to be a few of those planets, like the one you met Lamplighter on, floating around in the distance.
