honestly one of my favorite lines in my preliminary script. 

Brady: “In all likelihood, its some plucky, bushy tailed kid from Earth with a degree in astrophysics and a dream. All we gotta do is go out to the middle of nowhere or dangle them over a black hole and they’ll be begging to go home.”

he’s got a heart of gold, I promise.

I.S.C THUNDERSTRYKE - Cockpit

can you tell i’ve never set foot in a real space craft?

So, a few weeks later i got the layout of the cockpit dashboard done! I realized when I went to storyboard that part, I had NO CLUE where anything was! next will be the average crew quarters room below deck, possibly the bathroom, med-bay and if i get REALLY bored, the cargo bay. 

So, left is the pilot seat, and right is co-pilot, and on the left you can see that driver picks the music, shot gun shuts his cake hole, and someone has added DIY cup holders to the dashboard.  On the right, someone got very bored with the white board. the general appearance was inspired by the NASA Gemini command module, and a little from the Apollo 11.

Spoilers for plot below:

given that this is technically a space police/military ship, i went with the “stealthy” angular look, even tho it’s not necessarily a stealth ship. and Devi is probably the flashiest pilot out there. 

Also Brady and Devi added the cup holders, and i think Hadrian drew the dickbutt.
