He Shot Pendari a look of minor irritation.
"A few stories involving you, your sister and a can of halved pears, still in juice?"

Pen gave Eric a look back. "Let's just go, Eric, get this done as quick as we can. "

Eric climbed down the ladder, open space around them, the cold and airlessness held at bay by a force field. Below them, Eric's other ship waited, hatch open and waiting.
Eric climbed into the cockpit, flipping a few switches, and examining the readouts on the screen.
"Come on in, kids. There's not a lot of room,but I never did mind having ladies pressed up against me."

Pen let out a soft groan as she moved into the tight fitting ship, bumping up against Eric a bit more than she would have liked. "And this contraption is faster then the Grushdeva?" She asked.

Piper followed after the two, a smile plastered on her face as she settled into a seat.

Eulalia Danae Pen let out a soft groan as she moved into the tight fitting ship, bumping up against Eric a bit more than she would have liked. "And this contraption is faster then the Grushdeva?" She asked. "The Star's Light's faster than the Grushdeva, and this is faster than the Stars Light. A matter of finding a way to increase the output of a Zero-Point energy reactor, then find a way to make it smaller with that kind of output. It was a pain, but I got it. Then had to find a way to make the Aether Drive small enough to fit on one of these. I left Jarred the info, so he can add it to the Grushedva's design later."

"I'm sure he'll be appreciative of that," Pen said, making sure to buckle herself in. She looked slightly glum but kept otherwise quiet.

Pen gave Eric a half smile, giving him a gentle tap across the back of the head. "You're a pilot, Eric, not a bartender."

The ship hummed to life, the control panel lighting up, as Eric took the controls.
"Not a bartender, but I can fly and listen and talk all at once, Pen."

"I don't know much about either of you, but I think it's safe to assume that she is upset about being a human plague bomb. Not to mention, from what I've gathered, her lover is far from her and she has not had the chance to say goodbye. Then, there is the whole aspect of possibly killing the husband of what I assume is a good friend of hers." She gave a small cough and didn't look at either of them. "Does that cover it?"

Eric shot Piper a look.
"I think I liked you better when you were making annoyingly frequent sexual innuendos."

Pen let out a small sigh. "I just have a bad feeling about the whole thing. Granted I don't usually have a completely positive outlook on things. But this just doesn't settle well. And yes, I do miss jarred."

Eulalia Danae Pen let out a small sigh. "I just have a bad feeling about the whole thing. Granted I don't usually have a completely positive outlook on things. But this just doesn't settle well. And yes, I do miss jarred." There was a loud clanking noise, and they began to drift away from the Star's Light. "Good afternoon, Captain. I have ported all of your preferences from the Star's Light main server and to the Dialanche interface. Would you like me to take control of all flight systems on the Star's Light in your absence, sir?" Magellan's well-spoken British accent greeted them through the internal speakers on the Dialanche, bright and chipper amid the dour mood of her occupants. "Get to that, Magellan. Also give me a real-time stream of what's going on on the Star's Light. We won't be too long." After finishing with Magellan, he turned to face Pendari. "We can come up with another plan, Pen. I'm not quite at quiet with this. Maybe we can find someone else, some enemy of the Kore, pass off the virus on them and let them loose on the Kore. You're smart, and good at what you do. Too valuable to send to rot in a jail cell and then get killed. I'm not one for throwing away something useful, and even less on throwing away friends."

Piper laughed softly. "I never liked you." She smiled darkly. "I don't know what help I'll be to you..." She searched for the name. "Pen, was it? I'll assist you and your pocket sized companion as best as I can."
Aboard that Star's Light, Hattie sat quietly in the cockpit as Halise sat beside her. "Sigil's replacement should be here soon..." He said absently. Hattie's eye twitched in an irritated fashion. "Halise," She began in a disturbingly calm voice. "Shouldn't you be making tea or praying or something?"
