With the crew dealt with, Clarke makes his way through the bridge of the ship, looking at the control panels to try and figure out how to fly it!

When he enters the bridge he sees a few chairs and a large round table, which seems to be the epicenter of it. There's what looks like an office in here as well! If he goes to the control center, there's a few buttons, but nothing like what he's seen before.

Hmmm.

He looks at the control center first, but since he doesn't quite understand it yet, he heads to the office. Maybe there'll be some notes or the like that'll give him some context clues.

There's "books" on the shelves, but they really look more like holographic ipads. Some are in binary, others are in languages that are definitely not human.

Well, if he can't get the holographic iPads to work, he'll have to work with binary to learn a bit more.

Any clues on how to work the interface of the equipment and ship itself is what he needs.

Based on the binary, it seems to work on verbal command! But if he tries to use binary to access the interface, it doesn't seem to work. The language it states is unknown to him, but there's some mention of what he thinks is a translating device.

Translating device... in the machine itself?

He brings the book with him, sitting down in one of the chairs around the big display.

"Run diagnostic."

The diagnostics are run, popping up from the table in a hologram but they do happen to be in a language he does not recognize!

Interesting!

Clarke smiles broadly in his success.

"Display map of current system."

A map comes up, showing a galaxy very unfamiliar to him. They seem to be in deep space, the closest planet being a few days journey by his calculations. There does however seem to be an outpost halfway from there to here.

If anything, they need fuel at some point.

"Set course for outpost (coordinates). Fuel efficient speed."

"How far is the Terran world of Earth from this position?"

Just for reference's sake.

"Exploration and reconnaissance."

Hmmm.

"Is the rest of the ship able to be activated through voice commands, or only at this station?"

He asks, curious.
