Phase Twelve: ...And Back Again

[emorangerpink]

[The Chalice is still moving west across the Pacific when a few familiar faces arrive in the hangar, hot on the heels of a familiar ship heaving in to range over the horizon. The Nirvana's back to supplement the Chalice's mini-fleet again, and it doesn't take long for a shuttle to bring the three tourists back aboard, along with the supplies and souvenirs they've brought with them. The three are as refreshed as you might expect after a couple of weeks' vacation in a place like Meijire, but Laura's also looking concerned at what she could see of the ship on the way across, and what she sees in the hangar.]

So - what happened while we were gone? We didn't get much news after leaving London... and it looks like the Chalice has been through a lot...

((OOC: Laura, Lily and Dita have arrived back on the returned Nirvana! This thread is for people wanting responses from Laura alone, or for more than one of the trio. Dita and Lily will both have individual posts up shortly.))

That's what I'm hearing. I suppose it wouldn't really feel like coming home if everything had been quiet and peaceful...

Well, all it really means is that I keep doing what I've been doing here, take a correspondence course now and then, and once we ever eventually leave the Chalice it'll count towards a qualification Britannia and the Federation will recognize. In case I want a shot at working anywhere less, ah, unofficial than the Chalice...

Things were pretty rough at times... but it's nothing we cannot handle. Glad to have you back - a little less work off my head while I'm busy with...

Well, it's a secret.

Oh? The good kind, or the might-explode kind?

[Laura can't help but look pleased at the confirmation that she's a net help to Lowe.]

I don't see why these two are mutually exclusive!

I'll double-check the fire suppression systems, then.
