Post Merciless Lance

[One of the new pilots aboard, a rather young female, can be found on the foot of her AC, or what was left of it. She's practically curled up in a ball with her knees against her face, and doesn't look happy in the slightest.]

...Ugh- I don't get it at all!

[Thinking back to what happened earlier only made it worse. She could deal with the repair fees, but only as long as she still gained clients through the Ark. If it hadn't been for that one restraining factor, she might have just quit associating herself with the intermediary on the spot when she heard about the re-assignment.

Just looking at all the strange machines and people around was discomforting enough...]

'You don't know what you've got until you lose it,' huh? ...Makes me miss the Ark already.

[Nope, this definitely wasn't the place for her to be...]

...Does it look like I am?

[emorangerpink]

Um. No. Sorry.

...Can I help, at all?

[desiredstrength]

...

[Really? Well, she'll give you the benefit of the doubt anyway...just this once.]

Actually, some water would be nice. I can't get around here without losing my way.

[emorangerpink]

If you'd like, I can show you to the cafeteria.

[desiredstrength]

As long as we can avoid those weirdo MT pilots.

[...What?]

...You know, the ones that sound like dogs speaking some funny language.

[emorangerpink]

MT... do you mean the Wolves? Um, "aff" and "neg" and so on?

[desiredstrength]

Yeah, those guys.

They didn't seem too happy after they heard about mercenaries coming aboard.

[emorangerpink]

They're from... a long way away. Lots of culture shock with how things work here. They'll get over it, don't worry.

And no, we aren't likely to run in to any at the moment. If we do, I can handle them. Shall we?

[desiredstrength]

[Part of her is still pretty suspicious, but she really is parched, so might as well...]

...Lead the way.

[emorangerpink]

[Suspicious though she may be, Laura's intentions are pure. It's not a long nor even particularly confusing route to the cafeteria.]

The ship's big, but it's pretty easy to find the important stuff. Everything's connected.
