Two weeks and a few stops later, the ship was only an hour out from Orion. The crew, knowing the nature of the space they were in, walked through the ship and conducted themselves the same… but they were always armed. As they drew near the shocking yellow planet, Daggum was standing near the Captain on the bridge.

It had been a long time since had been back to this place. Same for Faye. But they each had a need to return… to finalize and put to rest pieces of their past. And Daggum knew that until they did, the future would always have a question mark next to it.

“Twenty minutes out, Commander.” the captain said. Daggum nodded and he pressed the comms and said =/\= Hey hun… we’re almost there. =/\=

Daggum

In their suite, Faye paused mid-stroke, her hand hovering over Tess’ soft and fluffy fur. She reached over the desk where she had been playing her new experimental comms toy and tapped a key. =/\=Understood. Be up in a jiff.=/\=

Tess chirped at her, making Faye grin. “And you my dear have to stay here, but no worries since they all seem to be equally fond of you. And Dag has got this, okay? I’m… not looking forward to it, but it’s something I need to do.” Tess just tilted her head, gazing deeply at her person, as if she somehow understood Faye’s words. Faye scratched the cat’s chin and got up to get ready.

A few minutes later, she studied herself in the mirror. Dark, but not heavy, makeup intensified her eyes and the black-red shade she favoured graced her lips. Her dark brown hair fell in loose waves, rather than the pulled up braid she usually favoured. Grey cargo pants, a dark blue ribbed tank and a black leather jacket gave her that look of causal edginess that would allow her to move about Orion without too much notice. Non-Orions were hardy unusual and she intended to wear the air of ‘Don’t mess with me’ and as she stepped back out in the main space, her heavy boots accentuated this feeling.

A minute after, she strode onto the bridge with a swagger that wasn’t entirely a front. “So, what’ll it be? Who wants to go first?”she said with a gleam of amusement. She was at ease though, the tension that this particular demon hunting had induced having been let go. She was ready for this. Or at least she thought she was.

Daggum tilted his head towards the viewport and said “We’re going to beam down. Since we aren’t staying planet-side and don’t have official business, the Syndicate operators said we just stay in orbit and beam up as we want. If we buy anything, we have to go through the port customs office.” He took a deep breath and then said “So? You ready?” Before Faye could answer, the Captain pulled out a box and said “You’ll be wanting these.” and opened the box. Inside were a matched set of Type II Disruptor pistols. “It’s Orion. If you aren’t armed, that’ll draw more attention than anything else.” and he chuckled. “We have your badges tracking. If you need to get out, just tap and we’ll beam you up. I wouldn’t flash them around, though.” Daggum nodded took a holster, adjusted it around his waist, and deftly slid a pistol into it.

Faye picked up her weapon. “Aww, look at us with matching weaponry. It’s so sweet!” Was she joking? Serious? Who could tell?

But his answer didn’t answer her question and maybe that was just as well. To be honest she wanted to get this over and done with, less her anxiety spike and she did something stupid. “The city of Ahmli it is. I’m assuming you have the coordinates?” she said to the Captain. Faye of course had done a casual inquiry as to Kodell’s whereabouts (which involved only a minor amount of hacking which she was sure if he found out about would only make him laugh) and so Faye knew he still resided in the same manor house that had belonged to his mother. The place she had ‘resided’ at.

The rest of the details she hadn’t needed to know, but since she had been in records, it seemed silly not to look. So she knew that he had married a wealthy Orion woman from a prominent family (even more than his) and they had lived together for some time before they separated but were still legally married. No kids. That had been going on for five years now, so she figured it was an arrangement that suited them both. Mostly it just made her strangely sad for him.

Uggh, no. She was’t going to get emotional! As she holstered her weapon, she bent down and lifted the handle of a tiny blade out of her boot, looked up at Daggum and winked. “Don’t you worry about me, I’m well covered. There’s more where that come from too!” she said as she rose to her feet again.

~Faye

“Oh, of that I have no doubt.” Daggum said with a chuckle. Soon the yacht was in position and Daggum looked at Faye. “Where to first? Kodell’s place? Or you want to see where I… um… lived?”

The two of them walked off the bridge and went to the transporter. Daggum reached over and squeezed her hand and then let go, saying “Let’s do this.” and they shimmered in gold light for a moment and were gone.
