Today's prompt is 'velociraptor'. I calls him 'Hookfoot' and I'm told he has a lovely smile...


Building a ship and crew... starships jump offworld with a Heisenberg Uncertainty Jump-drive to vacuum and travel between stars with a lot of little jumps, blink-warp at some number of light-years per day or parsecs per week? You can always get to vacuum, you can land by flying into an atmosphere but airless rocks are much more problematic. You need some combination of skilled pilot or automation to go anywhere and so many skill-hours worth of maintenance or repair. If you travel without enough navigation or engineering, bad things will happen! You also want some medical skill to maintain and repair the crew and passengers.
