Tipping the ship off...

Reika

“Tell me that you didn’t accept that piece of sh*t you flew over in is the payment for their passage,” Asuka asks, glaring at the spaceship that had landed in the landing bay.

Ah, you just have to hand it to the “Second Child” there. Seems that she can be rude and obnoxious almost no matter what reality she haled from...

"No, that's the tip for getting us to our destination with our unexpected extras over there," Rei says in a cordial voice, gesturing over at the elfin family and the gryphon behind them. "If nothing else I believe that the scrap metal value alone for that ship will cover the extra costs and then some."

And get rid of a needless loose end in the process, Rei added mentally to her sisters, I and Lilith.

Good riddance to it I say, Lilith sighs, tired of seeing it.

Got to agree with her and Rei on that one.

Because of it we’ve been away from our family for much too long, I add, more than a bit vexed at how it must have hurt our parents and family. Our unexpected absence.

What will Terra Prime be like when we get back? What will the rest of the family be like, after so long gone!

Honestly, while that ship had served well enough as an escape vessel from those hit teams so long ago it was rather on the . . .utilitarian side. Oh, a few upgrades here and there with even Farscapian level technology would turn her into a smooth ride indeed, but frankly I and my sisters just want to be RID of it!

Huh, remember that the idiot captain of that ship maroon us in that sardine can for two centuries in coldsleep! My husband to be waited for TWO who centuries for me to return because of that fool and his treacherous second in command/whatever.

Frankly, before we’d learned of the Sundering from Fred we would have gone to the trouble of tracking down and finding any survivors of the captain and been done with it. It would be too difficult now to try to breach the veils between that reality and Terra Prime to be worth bothering. Bah, give the ship to our good captain and her crew and be done with it I say!

Hm, got to wonder what it will be like for Lilith and Eva meeting together in the flesh? Obviously nothing clicked when Lilith met what had been her own flesh and blood in an earlier life just moments ago. Pity, but then again nothing for it.

Maybe even better that way. Only would lead to heartbreak and all that I somehow feel.

Maybe when Eva and Lilith meet at least we’ll have a new sister to chat with along the ride to our destination. Meeting new family is such a WONDERFUL thing, let me tell you.

That said, I have to wonder what it shall be like to visit a place that actually has people and places that hale from that anime and manga called Sailor Moon.

Good grief, I hope for our sake I hope that IF I should actually meet Sailor Moon that she’s not as annoying as seen in the TV series or as . . .almost freakishly leggy as shown in the manga.

...

Yeah, you remember that I, as an artist, didn’t really care for that particular style of manga drawing. Do hope we won’t have to stay long there before Fred and I go on his Validation Quest and all that!

Meanwhile

“Uh . . .could we talk for a minute here?” I ask the one known as Amanda Deschaine, not sure how to go about this.

1. Frankly, when I and my new husband had been given our Quest, I had not figured on having quiet this problem: getting a Mentor Champion to chaperon the event!
