Septinium - A Starbound Story

Chapter 19 - Vixarius Formation

Septinium Ship, Orbit of Vixarius Formation II

The crew had breakfast first, while the ship was orbiting Vixarius Formation II. Sineeda stares down at the cup that was brought to his room the night before. Asukinai stared at him for a bit, as he takes a drink from the cup.

"Welp..." Ethyl stood up and stretched. "Once you're done, get ready. We'll beam down once everyone is finished with breakfast." He walks over to the flight deck and sat on the pilot's chair.

Aizo yawns while drinking her tea. Raena was reading some article in a device while Milli was seated next to her. Asuki was looking down on the memory drive of her glitch friend, Johannes.

Asuki kept it in her hand and looked over to Milli. "So... Where on this planet are we going to exactly?"

Milli was spacing out, she didn't return a reply.

Asuki tilted her head. "Uh... Milli?"

Milli perks her head up. "Y-Yeah?"

"I was just wondering what kind of place on the planet we'll be going to." Asuki looked midly concerned.

"Uh uhm..." Milli scratched her head and giggles. "I think Ethyl mentioned something about going to some old headquarters before going to the temple? I think."

"Temple?"

"Where we'll be able to find the Avian key artifact." 

"I see... Alright then, sounds good." Asuki yawns and leans back on her chair to close her eyes for a minute. "I'll just be glad to have Johannes back soon enough..."

Milli giggles softly. Raena widens her eyes from reading. "Amazing... Vixarius really has a lot of various landmarks..." She scrolls through the article. "Other than the Sovereign Temple ruins, there's a kingdom filled with self-aware glitches, a huge and beautiful space colony, and a bunch more... Wow!"

"You better not run away again." Aizo jokes about Raena.

"No I won't!" Raena yells at Aizo.

Asuki smiles and looks to the conversation. "Are you certain? Do you need somebody to hold your hand so you don't wander off?" She joined in, teasing Raena.

"That's not it!" Raena pouts her lips. "I'm not a little girl, Asuki!"

Asuki laughed and sat up a bit. Sineeda stayed silent, looking down on his tea. Once Asuki was done laughing, she noticed his behavior and goes silent as well, not knowing what to do. He blinks and drank his tea.

Asukinai relaxes and looks back down on the drive. "I'll go grab my bag." She gets up and walks up to Milli's room where she had left her backpack.

As she walked up the stairs, Aizo looked over to Raena and smirked. "You're not a little girl, Rae, you're a smol girl."

"H-Hey!" Raena pouted her lips again. "D-Don't joke about my height!"

"You're the smallest among all of us, Raena." Aizo sticked her tongue out. 

Raena gets flustered and points at Milli. "We don't know if she is taller or smaller than me though!"

"Oh yeah..." Milli tapped her chin.

"Let's take a look!" Aizo grabbed Raena's hand and put her next to Milli to compare the height.

Raena was smaller than Milli by two inches. She snaps and fake snobs on the table. "UWAAA!!!"

"There there..." Milli giggled and pat her back.

"Milli you traitor! You traitor!" Raena she looks up at her.
