"I could always cut my..."She searched for the words. "Vacation..." She said with a dark tone. "Short and call up for the Orion. I spoke with Hunter earlier and he said everything was pretty much done. ROSE sent the specs over my Com while I was asleep. Sigil checked it." Hattie leaned herself against a nearby crate, her illness causing a weakness in her that she damned. She tried not to show it to Eric and downplayed it around her crew, but she knew they weren't dumb. "Anything I can do to help?" She coughed softly.

Eric chuckled.
"I'm afraid you may be away from your ship for longer than planned. Things are getting ugly, and it seems I've incurred the wrath of an interplanetary crime syndicate.

"What'd you expect?" She rolled her green eyes. "I could get Cale on the wire. He could come and help out." She chewed at her lip, still feeling tired. "And if you know where we're going after you're done playing Savior, I can have Riley meet us there. You should see the Orion... Well, Rioreet as it has been renamed." She smiled proudly.

"And if you know where we're going after you're done playing Savior, I can have Riley meet us there. You should see the Orion... Well, Rioreet as it has been renamed." She smiled proudly. "It's best we keep as many out of this as possible. Captain and the Good Doctor are already pissed enough that I'm bringing them the refugees. Means Kore is coming down on them, too."

"Hey, that's why Orion had to be renamed and repainted." She said with a shrug. To avoid being caught in illegal pirating, Hattie finally had the Orion's signature rainbow graffiti washed from Orion and had the ship renamed to "Rioreet". "You know I'm not worried about heat, Eric." She crossed her arms over her chest. "They ain't caught me yet."

"You know I'm not worried about heat, Eric." She crossed her arms over her chest. "They ain't caught me yet." Eric eyed the mangled wires of Lia's suit, and shot the interloper another distasteful glare, before going back to Hattie. "The goverment, feds, the Hunters, all of it, goes through legal channels. The Kore will crawl through seven circles of hell and back again, and vape any interlopers in the way to come down on us. Captain filled me in."

"Then I should make myself scarce. They've been imprisoning people in my condition." She held up her bandaged arm. "I'm so close to curing this mess that's I'd hate to die in Kore control. She grabbed a Com out of her Kimono pocket, typing on the touch-screens keypad. She didn't want to leave Eric, but the more she stayed around, the more of a risk he was in of getting the virus.

A.C. refused to move out of the way, knowing that she had something right for once. However, their conversation was beginning to alarm her. "Virus..?"

The light on the suit blinked, as from a mixture of AC's and Eric's meddlings, the breathing apparatus was repaired. As was typical of the suit, a form of forced recovery was applied, and air was pushed into Ora's lungs. After a few minutes Ora spoke, in a rather weak voice, "Where is the stone?"

Cookie strode silently onto the Star's Light, still shaking her head at Pendari's folly. Suddenly remembering from all the funny looks why she had one arm crossed over her chest (modesty's sake--the flak cannon that injured her also ripped her clothes apart), she ducked through the crowd and into a storage closet to forage for clothes.

She went and sat by the body of the Rogue, and tried not to let herself think or grieve.

Hattie looked up at Eric. "You've found a cure?" She suddenly covered her mouth with her hand and coughed hard and quick for almost two minutes, small amounts of blood trickling between her fingers. She pulled her hand away, finding a mix of black gunk and red blood on her hands. She pulled out an old black, greasy bandanna and wiped her hand on it before tucking it back into her kimono pocket.

Eric paused, looking at Ora, shaking his head.
He turned to Hattie.
"Yea, gotta go talk to the Doc, though."

Hattie looked at the other two girls and the one that had said something about a Virus. "Yeah. I got infected at birth. It's called, 'Cheryl' or at least that's what they call it on the streets."
~ED named the Virus.~
