[@HeroicSociopath] [@Antarctic Termite] [@ChickenTeriyaki] [@LPRKN] [@Styxx Acheron] [@JaceBeleren][/sub][/right][/cell][/row][/table][color=f49ac2]"Does everyone here just walk around in their fucking underwear?"[/color] SIGINT adjusted her glasses with a raised eyebrow. [color=f49ac2]"...Well, hey, I won't complain..."[/color]

The girl leaned back, placing both hands on the floor behind her as she looked over to the map with a sigh, wiping a sweaty bang away from her eye. The drone was pretty much done as far as electronics were concerned. It was really just the chassis at this point, and SIGINT just didn't fucking care enough to do that part right now.

[color=f49ac2]"I'm...kinda surprised you guys are worried about me."[/color] Compared to the smug, uncompromising bitch that they had met on the surface, the tired face she showed them now was much more reserved. [color=f49ac2]"I guess I should apologize for fucking with your oculars down there...[i]rebreathing junkie.[/i]"[/color] It had her cracking a smile at least, which was a stark improvement from basically everything since they had left.

She stood up unsteadily, a dizzy spell taking over simply from the amount of time she had spent on the floor. [color=f49ac2]"I'm...pretty sure I'm fine. Just a little sore. Cracked rib, at the worst."[/color] SIGINT responded to the both of them, leaning casually on the back of a chair as she inspected the holographic map.

[color=f49ac2]"The rear wing of the ship is busted from the crash, earlier. Wherever we decide to land, we may not be able to get back in the sky again."[/color] SIGINT pointed out, [color=f49ac2]"It won't affect us in space, just if we decide to make a pit stop anywhere with gravity...wherever we land this thing, I think we should be planning on pawning it off as scrap the moment it hits the ground, along with anything inside it. It's gonna be like a dude with crutches jumping off a cliff."[/color]

She stared at the map for a long time, with bespectacled eyes. She wasn't an experienced space-traveler — she had no way of judging at a glance how long or how difficult a trip would be. But she knew a best shot when she saw one, and if there wasn't a better way, then none of that really mattered, did it?

[color=f49ac2]"I'm all for Tortuga. There's a lot of shit that could go wrong, but that's just kind of our life right now."[/color] A UFC border checkpoint. Getting waylaid by Belt pirates. Who knows what else. And that was assuming there was food and fuel for the trip in the first place. They were making a break for it, for sure, but that was all they could do.

Marco's blue eyes met SIGINT's exhausted brown ones, her glasses doing little to mask her true face. The smug smirk, the folded arms, the toothy smile with shiny braces...all of that was gone at this point, replaced with a reluctant need for some real sleep, some real food, and an agonizing sense of loss that had reopened an old wound.

[color=f49ac2]"...Go back, huh...?"[/color] The girl turned her head up to the ceiling, shifting her shoulders in thought. [color=f49ac2]"...Running around like that is what I'm more familiar with, I guess. It'd be easier, in a way. I'd probably die, well, I'd [i]definitely[/i] die, but, you know, comfort zone and all."[/color] She frowned, her head drooping down at the floor. [color=f49ac2]"But...I dunno. I've always kinda wanted to fly, you know? Just...didn't think it'd happen this way."[/color] She admitted, [color=f49ac2]"And...after someone [i]died[/i] to get me off the ground...no way in hell I'd go back there. Not a chance. Even if I'm just picking between being stardust or fertilizer, I'd rather be stardust."[/color]

A heavy smile returned to her face, her eyes softening just a bit. [color=f49ac2]"So, consider me a member of the crew, if you feel like it. I'd like to think I'm useful to have around."[/color] Her gilded teeth pressed together as she smirked, more like she had before. [color=f49ac2]"That whole snafu on the surface was kinda like a job interview, eh? A lot more fun than reading over open source contribs and pull requests."[/color]
