[i]With our luck we could be attacked by anyone at any moment... I'm not going to risk that... My own survival goes above everything else, even Belle.[/i] Ramia thought to herself while working on the thrusters. She was getting more and more tense due to the lack of sleep and constant pain from her bionics, but the dark haired woman did her best to fight through her tiredness. [i]What if they hurt her? Those damned brutes... wouldn't be surprising... I should just go and... NO! I have to finish this. I have to get the Guardian back to full operational capacity and I'm going to fix these thrusters![/i] She rolled her eye and yawned - the hour or so of sleep after the little fight had not helped very much.

[i]Damnit... if I had any stims to dull the pain I could get a respectable amount of sleep and also I could concentrate better...[/i] Ramia ran the fingers of her right hand through her hair and shook her head slightly. [i]Adel could keep me focused... He had that nice habit...[/i] She smiled faintly and closed her eyes while straightening up to get the feel back to her legs. [i]He was the only person I really love... well... now there is Belle, but...[/i] The unwanted trip down memory lane made the Halcyon General more than slightly agitated. After a while of pacing around she seated herself on top of a cargo crate and held her head with both hands. [i]Damnit, Adel... Why did you have to be the hero? We were supposed to make Xian a better place and settle down...[/i] "...Why did you have to be the hero, Adel?" She asked silently.
