*Lucille*
"Alight Luci, we have a distress signal coming up on...." Cider pauses for a moment, probably waiting for this slow distress signal alert load
"Cider can you please update the equipment, it could cost us less if we just replace it and hurry it up will you, someone could require our aid"
"Yeah whatever... the coordinates are G39•A8822•T116•E4066, you are at least 26 jump points away, and for your information, our equipment is just fine"
Lucille pauses. A small shiver comes up her spine, and her heartbeat to pick up its calm pace. She prays that Cider messed up the coordinates but yet she doesn't hear his correction
"What? Your thinking about it aren't you?"
"No, I am not. Just wondering if you gave me the right coordinates."
"Luci please, I never mess up the coordinates. What's up with you? You have that tone in your voice."
Michael would never use the distress signal, unless...No! That is impossible, maybe someone pushed it on accident...I can only hope
"Nothing it's just that those are the coordinates of Haven. Uh..." I think of what to say, I know Cinder would call for my extraction and take over but, he doesn't know them like I do.
"Cinder how bad is the distress signal? I might need backup but I first wanna handle this alone," I say, slowly getting up from the pilot seat and start walking towards my sword which was hidden in a glass display behind a painting
Cider pauses before responding, he's the only one who knows what happened. He's the one who stayed with him even when I pushed him away
"You sure you can take this? Lucille, I can meet up with you outside of Haven before you enter and I can take ov-"
"No!" My tone is harsh and quick
"I mean, no. I'll handle it. My peop-," she cuts herself off
No, they are not my people, not anymore
-...those people are in distress. I must respond. It'll take too long for someone to take over anyways. I'll be coming up to the Gates of Haven soon."
"Just don't do anything reckless. We don't want another situation to happen like what happened at Knowhere." Cider says with a tone annoyance
"Don't worry Cider, I'm sure everything is just fine," I replied with a reassuring voice, "Starr, set a course for Haven"
As my A.I sets in the coordinates, I move a painting to reveal a secret case. And in that case is a billion year old sword.
