<><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Zhenka Amivi <><><><><><> (VI) <><><><><><> Theme Song Vi stood on the Ship's private docking platform, workers scurrying about behind her to unload her cargo as she started at the city's skyline.. Aware that somewhere beyond those lights resided the Genesis Compound. Many different species were teeming through the building, aliens of just about every race going about their business on the public docks down below.. Damn but she had missed home. Ten weeks in space would do that, a short skirmish with pirates tacking on half a month to their trip.. But the Turtle had performed perfectly, taking the hits and dealing a vicious amount of damage in response until only a dirty smear on the side of a dwarf planet was left of their would-be raiders.
Looking over her shoulder at her beloved ship the female paused as another performance came to mind.
Her Mouse had been rather impressive as well.. she hadn't expected a war dog to be much use but he'd exceled at the tasks passed his way. The crew had even warmed up to him.. after their initial distrust and skepticism had been appeased by his earnest approach to learning their trade.
She would take him to Lark, as promised.. Teiyo had earned it. Spotting him blending in among her crew she felt a vague smile curve her lips, her authoritative voice carrying over the noise of the port as she barked light heartedly to her people.
" Drinks on me tonight you beautiful bastards, job well done." Oh yes, she needed a drink.. her feet were on solid ground again and she could unwind from her responsibilities.
