Azurian? Maedoc... had no idea what that meant. He'd been on the pathetic dust-bowl of a planet his entire life He knew there were other planets with people on them, but he couldn't name them or describe them. He supposed he'd been right to suggest leaving the planet to get her interested, but he had no idea how well he could follow through with that. "Ambitious" really had been the key word there. 

Sure, she was pretty much on board now, but she'd taken on a sudden intensity that honestly had him a little scared. Should he be totally honest with her? But too much honesty might cause her to lose interest. Or was she desperate enough that any shred of hope would suffice.

He grit his teeth. If he wasn't so banged up, he'd have just risked dealing with her anger later, but... he had a feeling she'd just kill him at this rate.

"Look, I'm not in it for leaving the planet, personally. I don't particularly have any attachment to this place, but it's just... kind of a pipe dream. Keep that in mind before you do any ruining, OK?" He took a deep breath. "It's really a very simple job, but we have to be fast. The people who did this to me," he pointed to his wound, "are probably on their way as well. The only tricky part is beating them there. After that, we just have to get into an old science facility. There's no power left for the locks and the explosion should have punched enough holes in it for us to climb through."

There was only one such facility in the old settlement. He hadn't given his ex-comrades its location, but it wouldn't be hard to find. That's probably why they'd been OK with shooting him. It had already been a few days, he hoped they could still manage to beat them there.
