Max watched on the viewscreen as small ships began to dock at every conceivable location along the hull of Absolution. Even the maintenance airlocks had been deemed sufficient docking space for shuttles without anyone important on them, and all of their new residents were in a partying mood.
It hadn't taken long once the Reavers were on board to get things organized and start setting up all of the essential services aboard the newly minted ship, and now they were preparing for the pre-commissioning party.
Technically, you could consider the ship in commission, as it had its crew on board now, but it hadn't been assigned any tasks yet, and most of them hadn't even unpacked, so it was more of a move-in and party atmosphere.
