"A travelling guide for Terra. When I was in the Academy, I was cooped up all the time. No one knew me enough to invite me anywhere. So I looked at this book. It's so nice... it has pictures of all the natural wonders of the world, recreated by the Terraform after we founded the Mars Foundries. This was always my favorite... the Rocky Mountains. They just look so beutiful... so peaceful... and I could have easily gone there... just a few miles away from the Mega-Facility" Kelley felt Morain snuggled up into him even more, and held her. He let her dream a bit, then said softly. "We will have time to visit. After the war is over." If they were both still alive and Earth isn't a radioactive wasteland, but he kept that part silent.
< @WanderingJester > *I should just tell him.* Thought Morain. She opened her mouth to speak: "Loren... I-" Just then the door buzzed. Their food had arrived. Kelley also got a message from Commander Yilli "Rider Kelley, we are ready to examine the data brought to us by Ioren Kilat. If you would bring him to the Briefing Holo-Room." It was phrased as a request, but was obviously an order.
"Loren... I-" Kelley, sensing it was something important, looked at Morain. Just then the door buzzed and a messenger as well as a servant robot came in with the food. "Rider Kelley, we are ready to examine the data brought to us by Ioren Kilat. If you would bring him to the Briefing Holo-Room." Kelley detach himself from Morain then stood up. "Of course, I will come now." He looked back at Morain. "We will definitely finish this talk later. Until then Morain." With that he followed the messenger out of the room, closing the door behind him.
< @WanderingJester > Kelley would find Ioren in the mess hall, standing on a table and making gestures with his hands. He was surrounded by a multitude of Crew members, all of whom were smiling or laughing. Kelley could hear what was being said as he got closer. "And then the dragon swoops down to land in front of the knight. He roars 'Why have you come here!?' The knight, brave as he may be, shuddered in his armor..." He was talented with his voice, allowing it to change to fit the different characters, and his dramatic gesturing truly contributed to the feeling of the story. Soon enough he spotted Kelley. "Oop, think I need to go! To be continued, guys!" With that, he jumped off the table and jogged up to Kelley. "Whatcha need boss? You ready to check out the data?"
Kyras greeted her with a simple "Mornin" that transferred into a yawn. He got up in dug into breakfsast.
"And then the dragon swoops down to land in front of the knight. He roars 'Why have you come here!?' The knight, brave as he may be, shuddered in his armor..." Kelley walked in, and saw the crowd around Ioren. He hanged back, waiting for him to finish before going to the young man. "Oop, think I need to go! To be continued, guys!... Whatcha need boss? You ready to check out the data?" Kelley nodded. "Might as well do that now, seeing as we have to do it sooner or later."
< @Xanxas > Kyras and Yalei enjoy a silent breakfast enjoying each others company. Soon enough the food was eaten and the dishes were gone. Yalei looks at Kyras and smiles. "Did you have plans today, love?" < @WanderingJester > Ioren looks at Kelley softly. "Well then, lead the way!" He says cheerfully, obviously full of energy. On the way towards their destination, Ioren asks: "Hey... what's the deal with you and Miss Desero? I mean... are you a couple, or...?"
"I have some stuff to work on, but I can make some time. Its mostly personal projects. Why, do you have something you wanted to do?"
< @Xanxas > "Actually..." Yalei grinned as she stood up from her seat. "I... was thinking..." she said in a sing-song voice, working her way about the table "I thought I could help you a bit first, then we could..." she was now standing in front of Kyras, and booped him on the nose. "Hang out."
"Well then, lead the way!" They both made their way to the bridge where Commander Yilli waited. On the way Ioren spoke up. "Hey... what's the deal with you and Miss Desero? I mean... are you a couple, or...?" Kelly look at him then looked back away. "I am... not completely sure right now. She is... dear to my SOUL though, they have made a sort of bond together."
