When are you going to tell the rest of the crew? Zach asks. As soon as Chloe returns from shopping with Theo then I'll let them know about it. Zach snorts. GREAT, more shopping. Why does she do this every single time we get back from a mission? It's the same stores, same clothes, same food! It's the same stuff every time! Hey, don't yell at me, do you think I know why she goes shopping every time? Why? I think it's just because that's what she's used to. I don't even know why she went and got a job here; her father's rich enough from running asteroid mining operations. Could be she just got bored or something and wanted to do something fun? HA wouldn't exactly call this the funnest thing to do in the world. You know that's not a word, right? That's what they all say. Maybe because it's right?! Whatever. Hey, looks like Chloe and Theo are back from shopping! Hi Yall! How's it going? Says Chloe. Just talking about the next job with the captain, if you wanna like, know where we're going. It's somewhere real fun! Like where? Just PAX HAVEN! Ain't that a colony site? What business do we have going to a colony site? Asks Theo. Hey, I don't know why we're going to a colony site, but we are. We have a choice here colony site or fire. I think I know what I'm going with here. Says Zach. What about the rest of you? Eh, why not? Says Theo. Sure, sounds like it could be fun. Says Chloe. Do I get a choice here or am I just going to get dragged along on this? Asks Nova. Well, there is always just deactivating you. Says Zach. Hard Pass says Nova. Well then since we're all in agreement I think it's about time we depart. Zach, is she all fueled up? Yup finished even before you got here, Zach says with a smile. We can leave at any time. Alright, let's get going then, Nova. Yes? Undock us. I exist to serve. As we disembark from the station Chloe leaves to put her bags away and Theo sits down in his chair next to the weapons console. Alright, what new toys did you make for me Zach? You'll find out later, right now I just want to relax. I'll tell you some time on the trip there. Nova butts in, we are clear of the station. Permission to go into superlight? Wait till Chloe gets seated then punch it. Ok, I heard that! I'm coming! She runs in and takes a seat. Happy? Yup, alright everyone strap in, and let's get this show on the road. Nova, HIT IT!
