Small Universe


Comet Rider looked at Space Girk and said, "'Drill for tec on you.' Why is it that I don't understand half the things you say?"

Girk was about to open her mouth and let out a smart remark when the Inertia Cell's stabilization field cut off and the doors de-pressurized. Whatever Girk had been about to say was set adrift in the vacuum, as Comet Rider made it to the hallway in two long, sure strides.

To her right, she could both see and hear the women streaming out of the main Inertia Cell. From the volume of the laughter, they'd enjoyed the Lykopis' feeding time quite a bit more than she had.

The sudden expressions on some of the faces coming toward her made Comet Rider turn to look behind. She did a superb job of covering her own reaction, and casually remarked, "The lengths some species will go to in the name of revenge. What Black Hole did you crawl out of, Veema?"

Th' Cap'n has yer back iffin ye need assistance, Commander Rider. N'er fought in space afore. Wonder how effective th'Honjo Masamune would be?

Comet Rider said...

Quite pleased with this offer, Cap'n Dyke. Thank you, and allow me to say I can't imagine you being ineffective, regardless of where the action takes place.

Tiltin' Me Head just so, Commander, for ye don't know just how Correct ye be in that Imaginin'. Th' Cap'n craves action like a powdermonkey craves rum.
