Snippet #1414959

Although Kane was successful in getting Nora to accompany him we was still apprehensive. He couldn't be sure about the stability of the two women. Izzy was clearly unhinged however at the mention of the famed 'L word' as Nora put it, she shifted into a sort of intense sanity that was just as disturbing as her previous condition. Nora, it seemed, had adapted her friend's strange tendicies and Kane worried that she would exhibit the strange, swinging behavior. His worry worsened when Nora walked up to him, staring intently up at him as if challenging him and then suddenly surprising him with a hug. He was uncertain of what to do with these two loose cannons. He needed Nora's knowledge and so he had to fulfill his promise to get her off the station. He wouldn't be able to get her anywhere with her friend it seemed so he was pretty much stuck in a single path of action. He decided to focus on getting all three of them to the Artemis and then getting away from the station.

As he waited for them to prepare there belongings he stood like a guardian next to the door and surveyed their quarters. They didn't seem particularly bad off, they had several bedrooms and their own bathroom. Although their junk littered all three rooms, pushed up against walls and piled on desks, they did not look far below comfortable middle class. It was curious that they ended up as felons, nothing about their situation seemed to drive for desperate measures. He resolved to put it to Nora when they had removed themselves from their current problem. He waited patiently as they sorted themselves, not knowing what they packed when they arrived ready to go. Izzy's odd comment cause Kane to worry, seeing as she wasn't averse to using force apparently. Nora confused him, she awaited his direction even though she undoubtedly knew the station better then him. The man wasn't ashamed when he reflected the task back "I don't know my way around this place." He told her "you'll probably do better getting us out of here. Docking bay 5B."

Nora took the lead and guided Kane through the twisting passages that made up her home. They brushed through smaller, more lonely passages. Any aliens they encountered showed no signs of hostility and not one guard showed up to accost them. The situation changed however when the reached docking bay 5B. Kane pulled the women to one side and cautioned them. "Okay," he explained " When I disembarked there was a guard inside. I'm betting that there'll be one inside now and he probably won't let you board easily." He shot a warning glance at Izzy "and we want to avoid any conflict." He turned to Nora for help "Is there any way to get to the umbilical without going through that chamber?"
