Snippet #2261672

"Heeey Now." Went a suddenly more alert Kanro, just barely feeling a slight, telepathic poke as he moved in to make sure she knew he didn't mean any ill will towards her. He was certainly only messing around with the girl to see if she really was capable of changing her form, or perhaps some kind of disguised assassin, come here to end the initiative before it even had a chance to grow. Surely letting an empty StellarShield starship would have been quite the message to send to the Federation News Network, and in turn, the universe on why upholding the law would be detrimental to your health

"Hey hey, just testing you, Indie. Besides, even the most minor change of form, whether it be those lovely chocolate browns back into the emeralds from earlier, made me wonder if you were some sort of spy with shapeshifting powers. As self-proclaimed captain, I think I'd like to know more about my crew. Especially the things they'll be bringing to the table, of course I admit, I didn't exactly ask in the most direct, or the nicest of ways, but we could definitely work on people skills later. Y'know, after we all accept the fact we're all that's left of the almighty law? The one we'd sworn to uphold, as well as a 500 point score on our final exams back at the academy?"

Kanro struggled to keep his eyelids up, each blink becoming heavier than the last, as he drifted over towards one of the two sleeping cots he'd had set up in the pilot's room, so he could act quickly in the heat of an outer space dogfight.

"Now, personal issues aside… We're counting on you to navigate through these asteroids and into the station…"

But then he seemed to struggle on the last part, feeling so unfamiliar with using it himself. A phrase he'd heard one too many times during training scenarios.

"…That's an Order, Indiela."
