Bethy hadn’t talk to Mira Miranda since that night the four of them had gotten drunk on Calloway’s shine. Now they had switched ships, which Bethy was sure Miranda had been even more busy than any other department. Just the cloak alone was a huge move.

But now the cruise ship had arrived and Martel had been, last Bethy had heard, ordered to go on the cruise. It bothered her for reasons she couldn’t quite explain. She made her way to Miranda’s quarters and pressed the chime.

Gadi, CoS

Who could possibly be– She sighed, taking a deep breath as she collected herself. “It’s open.”

Turning, she faced the door. As the portal opened, admitting Gadi the tension in her shoulders dropped, well a little anyway. “Business or pleasure,” she asked, head tipped forward, brows lowered. It was the look of someone ready for a fight, plain as day for someone with Gadi’s training and experience. A moment later, it melted away into a brief smirk.

Marti, cranky CE

Bethy stepped in and took in Miranda’s edginess and paused as the door shut. She stayed relaxed, but looked unsure until Miranda smirked. “A little of both. Well, business and personal anyway. Do you have a minute? I know you have to leave soon.”

Gadi, CoS

“First they throw me on the Cloud, prancing around as some preppy … You know what, nevermind. What’s up,” she said, moving over to drop onto the couch. There was hardly anywhere to sit in these god forsaken pillboxes. She patted the couch next to her and tucked one foot up under her as though she might try to hatch it.

Marti

Bethy moved over and sat on the couch, cross-legged, turned sideways to look at her. “Yeah, I know. I was with the Cap when she made the deal. I don’t know if it was a good idea. This whole thing is…crap.” Bethany sighed and tucked a lock of hair behind her ear. “Well you’re leaving and well, there is no solid plan. Not that plans last after the first move, but still…and no one is really prepped or trained for this. They are sending almost all the senior staff, and very little information with dangerous people. The unknowns alone…” Bethy was rambling. She paused with a breath and reached into her pocket. “Anyway, I wanted to uh give you this.” She held out a bracelet. Braided leather cuff with three gemstones set equidistant from each other. “This one ” She pointed at the gushing one nearest the buckle, “turn twice. One counter-clockwise and then back clockwise, then depress it. It will activate a beacon transponder. I’ll be able to beam you out.”

Gadi, COS

Miranda sat up more and studied the object. “And the other two?” There was no small amount of curiosity there. Already she was turning over and theorizing how it might work. Of course she’d poke and prod at it, but with caution and care. Last thing she would want to do is damage it, render it inert., anything like that. But ever the engineer, she loved to know how thins worked. And of course the knowledge would be useful in the future.
