[color=6ecff6][i]Ah, so our fair Artemis is a tease.[/i][/color]

How haughtily, ignorantly salacious of her. A man with lesser poise or remaining integrity may have been dumbstruck by the sight of Rebekah's unzipped normal suit, but Dallas Grenier was of a more debased, lecherous stock, and merely gave the foreign Sides around him a proud look of appraisal before he let his head slump backwards and yawned lazily. His raven hair spilled back, now that it was freed of a helmet and any loose ties; the highlights of aqua underneath his bangs grew brighter, imbibing in the dim light of the catatonic colony.

Electric blue eyes rolled to the left to regard her again. Briefly, his peripheral vision strayed southwest, and his vision focused as though a film had been lifted from his face.

Six senses [i]were[/i] truly better than five.

[color=6ecff6]"Dallas Grenier, Lieutenant, Newtype test pilot, a deplorable slut plucked from the depths of the Seine. Charmed to meet you, [i]ma rossignol,[/i] but I beg to differ. I think we're in the most comfortable position out of anyone on this colony."[/color] The French pilot's smile became conspiratorial. [color=6ecff6]"These Zeeks, these opportunistic Zabi bastards, weren't waiting for our fleet all the way out here, near a neutral Side, without a good reason, right? There's a Federation base somewhere that they wanted cleaned up - a base that would no doubt take us in, give or take a few days of uncomfortable vetting. There's a Federation embassy at Side 6, too. We could be there in a couple days, maybe sooner if we're picked up by locals. No doubt the vetting there would involve a hotel, a hot shower, and complementary breakfast, but who knows when we'd see the front lines again."[/color]

The Newtype's cutting smile made his way to Rebekah.

[color=6ecff6]"I still have your GM's beam rifle. And the Balls. If they [i]did[/i] try to stop us, I could clean them out before you could say [i]Marianne[/i] and be on our way. We could make either trip with little risk."[/color]
