He sits moodily looking out the front of the ship, looking over the top of his thick Grav-lock boots. A frown is plastered on his face recently it seemed to be a permanent feature. They had been in deep space for what seemed like forever, the inky blackness had been getting to him and Cin had been angry to say the least. Annoyed he looks over his shoulder at a door that leads to the back of the ship and the engine room. It had been his fault, but he wished she could have let that fact drop for at least a little bit...the constant reminding was not helping them at all. With a angry mutter he leans back and continues to look at the stars remembering back to the night he ran off for the ship.

====================================================

Fauve wasn't happy and he didn't know what he had done, he looked down at his hands with a sigh of frustration. He moves quickly to his room his mind still frustrated and upset; muttering something uncharitable about girls he flops on his bed pulling out his laptop. From a band on his wrist he pulls out a chip of his daily journal and loads it up, some work would keep his mind off of things. As the screen loads, Celsius starts to stir as well. Lazily the AI starts to go over what Kasai is doing and it's twisted digital mind almost purrs with happiness realizing that she now perhaps had her opening.

Celsius swims about in her digital world and if the programming of her that was left could smile that is what it would be doing now, however the smile would be cold with a hint of something dangerous mixed in. As Kasai starts his programming the twisted program goes about her plotting. With cold calculation she sets up images to play across the background of the screen well Kasai works on his programming and journal.

Unknown to Kasai Celsius had set up the journal to record all the boy did, not just what he recorded. Since she was unable to walk about that was her only option. Some of those recordings however were going to come in handy. As Kasai looked at his screen images started to flash across it quickly; so quickly that he would not realize he had seen them even though his subconcious would register them. Within her digital realm Celsius laughed pleased.

Kasai frowned angrily at his coding it wasn't going well, his hands clenched and he shook his head all he could remember was finding Fauve with Cern. Afterward they had made up...but still the images of her with the other unclothed masque made his blood boil. His mind then started to jump with accusions and he turned away from his laptop.

If she doesn't want me here...if she...

He gets up hastily from the bed anger in his eyes.

I won't stay here to be made fun of...to be toyed with.

Kasai looked around, after a few moments he grabs his bag and throws his laptop and some other things inside. He then moves to leave, his teenage mind was in turmoil...he didn't know where he would go, he would just go.

Her manipulation completed Celsius waited...interjecting a few images of the warhammer the AI was sure she would be reunited with a computer system to manipulate.

She looks up hearing boots on the floor of the house, as she does she just catches a glance of fiery red hair as Kasai passes through the door. Cin frowns deeply shaking her head slightly she stands. Where are you running off to at this time of night? Instead of an answer she is met with a brick wall of silence, her frown deepens and she reaches over grabbing her laser pistol and holster. No matter what his issues this time it was late and it was dangerous, he couldn't just be left to run about. Out of reflex Cin also grabs her bag containing tools and healing supplies, which oddly enough didn't just have it's normal contents in it this night was also two small sleeping creatures that resembled mice with wings. Wicked and Burton had decided to make it their resting place.

Kasai started to pull himself out of his daydream however hearing noise from the back of the ship near the engine. The night had ended with a confrontatoin at the ship and although Kasai had hit the launch button their current predicament was caused by a calous and manipulative AI who had wormed her way into the ships computer as soon as Kasai had hooked his equipment up. She had jumped them blindly. Cin had been relieved they hadn't ended up in the center of a star, then she realized the two were in space she had never seen before.

====================================================

A crash and muffled curse from the engine room pulled Kasai out of his ponderings, glancing over his shoulder he wondered if he should dare to go and talk to Cin. Once she realized they were lost in space...well her disposition had not been the best. After another loud crash erupted from the back he winced and looked out at the stars again, it would probably be better to stay where he was.

The other naturally living occupants on the ship seemed to not be affected by the mood of Kasai and Cin, in fact Wicked and Burton were still in the process of discovering everything.

Burton squinted his eyes and looked over at Wicked after a few moments he begins to chatter in nef at her. "Stop trying to open it that way stupid!" Still muttering Burton dives down to settle on the top of a storage container, his little messenger bag around him. Shoving Wicked aside he starts trying to move the device to open it.

"How dare you!" Wicked snarls in nef and hits Burton upside his head, her attack ceases however when she sees that he is actually getting the container to open. "Great! You may carry on with my plan then." She nods as if the plan was hers all along.

The two nefs peek over the side of the storage contain their tiny eyes like saucers as they see the randomly jumbled stock of electronic devices. With squeals of delight they dive down into the bin.

After some time of rooting around in the bin Burton pulls something free from under a pile of wires. He tilts his head to the side curiously looking at it and then looks at Wicked chattering in Nef, "What do you think this thing is!" He holds up a small device with a few buttons on it. Those knowledgable of such things would know it was a long distance communicator.

Wicked flutters over quickly and bumps a button in the proccess, lights begin to go off on the communicator; her eyes get big as she looks at it she then speaks to Burton quickly in their own language. "I don't know...but give it to me!" Wicked goes to make a grab for the device.

He frowns slightly looking over, screeches were coming from the storage room off of the bridge hallway. With a sigh he pulls his feet off of their resting place and stands up, those noises were not coming from the engine room and could only belong to the two Nefs who had joined them on their voyage. Shaking his head slightly he opens the door to the storage room and looks in.

What is going on here?

After a moment the screeching continues as the two little creatures fight, grumbling over his mind voice he goes to the storage crate and looks in. Seeing the two winged mice creatures fighting over something and reaches down and plucks the item of the argument up. He flips it over in his hand ignoring the yells of the creatures in the crate, as he flips it he hits another button and it starts to blink.

I wonder if this is connected to a communicator Cin wears? With that thought he goes to the back of the ship to check.

However Cin wasn't wearing a communicator after some thought she realizes the communicator connected to the one that Kasai was holding she hasn't seen for sometime.

Back on Masquarade a long distance communicator starts to blink and vibrate slightly within the cushions of Merci's couch. Still where Cin had dropped it so long ago when she fell asleep with the red haired fox woman at what now seems like so long ago.
