"Um,why is it made of mirrors?",Dax questioned,looking at the ship.
"So that it's camoflouged",Taya supplied.
The ship was covered in mirrors. The surface was smooth and shiny. It looked like one of the ships that they had been brought in. However this ship was smaller in size And much more narrow. Light bounced off the surface. And Dax's own confused reflection stared at him. It's wings spread out beside it. The ship stretched across the grandroom. A huge,intimidating figure.
Delta was playing with a little dagger. Throwing it up and catching it by its hilt. She was currently in the process of balancing the tip on her fingers. Dax winced when he saw this. "But she is probably really good at it,she's had years to practice",Taya marveled.
Omega came and stood beside Taya. He was eating from a bag of crisps and doing a little dance in the process.
"You guys have really out done yourselves this time",Omega slapped Ace on the back.
"Yup,this baby was built for speed",Ace and Haze both beamed. They really had done a good job. The ship was big, but narrow,allowing it to move swiftly through space. Weapons were located under the two wings of the ship. Every inch was covered in mirrors.
"I can see why it makes a good camouflage,the mirrors would just reflect whatever is in space and that's nothing",Dax said.
"Exactly!",Haze beamed proudly.
Alpha stood beside Dax.
He looked tired and worn out. His shoulders were slumped. And his hands were clenched in to gloved fists. He was dressed in similar clothes. A dirty whit t-shirt under a brown leather jacket,black pants and combats. Very,dirty combats. His hair was sticking out in all directions. He looked terrible.
"We good?",he questioned Haze.
"Yup".
"The weapons and supplies have been packed,so we just need to go",Delta informed.
"Are you sure you packed everything?",he questioned her.
"Will you relax, of course I packed everything,I'm not stupid",Delta retorted. She had gotten used to Alpha's controlling nature but the recent events had put every one on edge and everyone was trying to deal with it in their own way. Omega's way out of a situation was stress-eating.
Alpha nodded silently then climbed the few stairs leading in to the ship. He looked back one last time,then disappeared in to the ship.
One by one all of them followed.
Dax was last.
He didn't know if he was making the right decision.
He did want to get his grandmother back, but not like this. He didn't want to risk anyone in the process. He ignored the nagging feeling at the back of his mind and looked at Taya.
She gave him a wide smile and pulled him in to the ship.
The doors closed behind him with a hiss and the floor and walls lit up.
