KIRA
WATSON SOUNDED OFF IN her inner ear, Your heart rate is up.
Kira waved her hand dismissively, but realized he couldn’t see the
gesture. She was in the cargo bay by herself. Max, their Vicar, pestered
Morgan, their resident pilot, with questions, while she paced.
“I’m concerned about the changes.”
Alec may keep it together, but progress was never made through
steady work. Updates are required if we’re going into deep space.
Kira clenched her teeth together. Her ship, the Callistar, was a freighter,
one of the largest classes of ships in the galaxy. After being
decommissioned, they retrofitted the entirety, transforming it from a
warship to one for mining and cargo transportation. They left it in orbit,
choosing a smaller vessel, the Valstar, Morgan’s pet project, to make their
way down to the Meeting Place.
Unsurprisingly, Max had also chosen to go along with the pilot and
captain. He’d been quick to volunteer his services. Kira had snorted at him,
like she did Watson from time to time. His original goal had been to gain
entry into the Meeting Place, and here the Vicar was. He’d spoken
extensively about his motivations behind that goal with Kira.
And no one else questioned the Captain. They came from all walks of
life, and if she said the Vicar was clear, then he was clear.
A voice came over the intercom, “Fixing to land, captain.”
“I’ll be right there.”
Passing through the magnetic doors, they made a shppppp sound as they
pulled aside. She settled into her seat.
Morgan, their pilot and fellow Praetorian, turned about in his, joking to
her, “Doubt you would have even noticed we’d landed back there.”
Kira fastened her seatbelt.
“I trust you,” she told Morgan with a wry smile. “It’s the others I don’t.”
Sir is requesting our ETA.
“Pass it along then, Watson. There’s no reason to keep him waiting longer
than necessary,” Kira replied smoothly.
Morgan landed without guidance from the system as per his usual coming
down with the slightest oomph on the landing pads. The vessel incessantly
beeped at him while he flicked off the active warning against it. Kira knew
he preferred landing manually in order to practice what he would otherwise
miss in the long run. Outside, even the loading dock personnel commented
on how smoothly he’d done it, the crew hearing it in the background of
Morgan’s transmission to confirm engine shut off.
Kira didn’t care how he managed it, only that he had. Max came hot on
her heels as she unclipped, walking back into the cargo bay before the
shuttle’s ‘parking brake’ could be applied.
“I’ve not forgotten,” she told Max with the slightest smile behind it at his
eagerness. “I told him I would be bringing a friend.”
The Vicar smiled openly, pulling down the edge of his tunic, a muted
gray shift somehow managing to ride up, despite its stiffness. Bearing a
high collar, the tightly fitted material, and broad shoulders beneath gave
him a commanding look as he trailed after her in shining, simple, black
knee-high boots.
