Snippet #1409433

Nora listened closely to Kane’s words, vaguely keeping an eye on Izzy as she packed her mini armory into her bag. At the mention of Legion though, her eyes widened followed by a face palm. “You just had to say the ‘L’ word in front of her…” shaking her head then looking back up, Nora nodded her head in understanding with seriousness for once passing over her face. “My grandparents called it their ‘Secret project’, but I’ve overheard my parents calling whatever they did ‘Armageddon’. I don’t know if I can tell you anything useful, they never got the chance to explain what it all meant; but I remember what they said nonetheless.” Not entirely sure if she could trust any random stranger with her family’s secrets, her mind was pretty much made up for her at the mention of a ship and way off the colony.

Standing up from the couch and approaching Kane, Nora stood toe to toe with him and looked into his eyes. Her grandmother always said you could tell a lot about a person that way; and right now, she believed he was serious about what he told her. “Ok.” Smile breaking out once again, Nora jumped up and threw her arms around Kane in an excited hug. “Thank you so much!” Just as quickly un-attaching herself, Nora ran off and grabbed her bag to pack. There was nothing much to take along, just a few clothes and a jewelry box from her mother; but on a bookshelf in her parents old room she found her main prize for her trip. Her grandparent’s and parent’s notes. She could never figure out what they were talking about in them, she was suppose to be taught what everything meant when she was a bit older; but perhaps when she was absolutely sure she could trust whoever was on this adventure, she would see if they could find anything useful. So tucking the worn leather covers among her belongings, Nora swung the bag over her shoulders and bounded out of her room; only taking a moment to look around at her home. It wasn’t going to be easy to leave, but the more she thought about it the more likely she would be to back out.

This was her chance though. Her chance to continue the Joule tradition of helping others, and the chance to keep her friend safe. With a reassuring breath and a quick spin towards the door, Nora bounced into place beside Izzy and tried to plaster a smile back onto her face. “All ready and set to go! Just lead the way!”
