Endret II
Real Space Captain James Stratford nodded, sighing as he did, "Yes, this is Harin. Ever since the planet was offically santioned as a Formour Earth Navy planet, its been defended as if it were Earth herself." A wary smile filled Stratford's face as he eyed it. "This," he said with a larger grin, "Will be fun."

Arianeira wondered what she'd let herself in for. She eyed his expression with deep misgiving as she said; "At least if he's on Harin he should be easy enough to find."

Real Space Captain James Stratford raised a hand to his lightly stubbly hand. Rubbing hand thoughtfully over it, he looked back out at his ship, then grinned. "Fancy becoming a navy pilot he asked?" Then swiftly explained, "I have friends in the Navy. We can smuggle our ships onto his, and he'll take us to Harin. He'll have to enter orbit for refueling since the space pumps always broken. Once we're ont he ground, It'll be childs play to get around and kill this Draike guy. They never check naval ships. The gap in securitys been used for years to get things in and out."

She nodded slowly. "Are you sure he'll agree to smuggling me in? You'd be one thing, but if he's caught with a pirate aboard... I want him to know exactly what he's doing." She sighed. "I don't want to be responsible for getting anyone hurt."

Real Space "Oh come on!" Captain James Stratford replied with a heavy sigh, "Since when was anything pirate orientated not safe?" His eyes narrowed on the female, a frown on his face, "or are you not so certain you wish to settle this debt?" He shrugged as if it didn't matter to him, while his hand moved from her shoulder.

She pretended not to notice the movement. "I have to finish this one way or the other." She said grimly. "But Drake isn't worth the lives of other people, especially your friends."

Real Space "Dennis has sought a good exit from the navy for years. this would be heaven to him." Stratford replied, tapping his lip and regarding the female pirate as if in truly deep thought.

Arianeira couldn't suppress a grin. It was exactly the sort of friend she could picture Stratford having someone. She rolled her eyes "You'll both make pirates yet." She prophesised, "So where do we find Dennis?"

Real Space Stratford tapped his lip thoughtfully. His eyes slid to the display that still showed the pirate Draike. His eyes were on it, but his minds eye was off everywhere. "A space station. He'd need repairs after the fight." He looked up at the read out agin. This time truely seeing it. "Hyperon, can you turn off the display, and track the location of Captain Dennis Phillips, please?" The room went dark as the display and the captain found himself quite aware of the female beside him. He grinned at how his heart rate had increased, then clapped his hands softly to turn the lights up slightly, casting a dim light over the pair.

Arianeira's hands had suddenly become slightly sweaty, and acutely aware of the fact, she hastily wiped them on her trousers and focused more intently on the screen than was strictly necessary. She could hear the blood pumping in her ears and it seemed deafening, but when she glanced across at Stratford he didn't seem to have noticed anything unusual. She quickly shifted her gaze back to the screen, praying that she wasn't acting as stupidly as she felt. She wasn't some sort of naive schoolgirl after all.

Real Space There was an awkward silence from Stratford as he looked everywhere but where he wanted to look. He gave in after a futile fight, and watched Arianeira. He opened his mouth as if to speak, but could find nothing to say. "So..."

Arianeira fought the urge to fidget. Unable to avoid it any longer, she shifted in her seat to face Stratford and was about to make a quip to cover the silence, but the words died before she uttered them. She didn't recognise the expression in his eyes, but the tension in the room was palpable. Arianeira was unable to meet his gaze for long and cast around for something to say. Her mouth had gone dry and she licked her lower lip without thinking, then opened her mouth to speak, still trying to find something coherent to say.

Real Space James smiled shyly everytime she looked at him. He forced his eyes from her, feeling oddly silent and nervous. he'd last felt like this when he'd graduated Naval Academy with flying colours.
He tilted his head slightly, a boyish grin crossing his lips, trying to cover his embarrisment.

Arianeira turned away too, her cheeks slightly flushed. Returning to the screen just as another image appeared, she was spared the need to try and force conversation. She studied the image carefully. "Dennis?" She asked. She needed something to say though this had to be him. Something about his bearing reminded her of Stratford. Military, but not rigid.

Real Space James looked up at the image and nodded slowly. he felt almost annoyed that the moment had been ruined. His hand moved slightly towards hers, as he looked at the image. "James, you rouge!" The image said, looking as if he couldn't see them. The image projector for their side wasn't on.
"Thats me," James said tiredly, "I need a favour. I need to visit Harin. I'd rather not say why now, but it is important... I'll pay, if need be." [b]Dennis looked thoughtful, then nodded. "Rendezvous with the Sleeper Service in the Endret system, since thats where Hyperon claims you are. I'll pick you up. Give me a day, max. Sleeper Out"
The conversation had taken under a minute, so tracking would be imcomplete. "..."
