From Lin's cockpit, she could see and feel the deescalation of conflict. Then, she heard the terms. Grudgingly, she put her gun away. She drew a handle on one of her falxes. Looking down, she saw an opening large enough to drop through. To Aster, she sent one more encrypted message. "I hope you know what you are doing. I will back you up to the brass, but make sure it is best to cede the colony first."

Satisfied that she gave the info, she aimed Einsamkeit, dropping gracefully through the opening and landing fluidly and, relatively speaking, softly on the deck behind Aster's suit. She switched on her intercom. "You hold your end of the bargain and I will. However, I will not disarm nor stow my blade. I have seen my fair share of 'peace' arrangements go awry due to one itchy trigger finger on a grunt." As added emphasis, she raised her hilt to obvious sight before moving it back down to her waist, right manipulator ready to grasp the hilt should teh need arise.
