October 4th, 825 - Omicron Lost
There we were again. Comprehension was a struggle. It took me seconds to realize what must have happened. I looked out there into the void that lay beyond Moros. The very edge of known sirian space. For all we knew, there were only a few more stars in the direction the ship pointed. And then there was a big void. I often wondered whether it was the void we once jumped into, half a year ago. I never was good at astronomy. For that I had a ship with an intuitive database and a limited AI as well as a few bright heads within my crew.
Slowly turning around, I took a look at Maren, moving over to her to check how she was. The poor girl didn't look fit at all right in that moment. "I'll bring us home, don't worry," I sounded and pecked her cold cheek. A bit of console input later, the Hoffnungsschimmer cruised to the jump hole to Delta, cloaking right before entering it. I guessed the Apahanta would follow us, given I hinted we would take the jump hole. And like that, the two cloaked ships left Omicron Lost.
Maren needed a break, and I was willing to give her some rest. Picking her up, I carried her over to our room. My giant bed was still there, along with dozens of pillows and blankets. Bloody moonface ate chocolate in bed. Carefully dropping her in the blankets, I lay down next to her. "I'll take care of Dinah for a day."
And that turned out to be a weird thing to do. Once the Hoffnungsschimmer and the Apahanta were in safety, I brough Maren over to my ship, and from there we took my brave little Hussar, the Attractive Rover, to head for Baden Baden once the Apahanta brought us there. They were waiting far away from the planet to not get detected by Rheinland, probably cloaking again once we launched.
It was night on Baden Baden. At least there were Maren and Dinah rented a room in a hotel. Carrying the weak Marmar from the landing pad over to the shuttle to reach the hotel, I caught a few looks like that. I had to smirk about it, though. Half an hour later we finally reached the hotel and the room they had rented. It was big enough to be comfortable for the two chaotic people. Scouting for the first best place, I eventually dropped Maren on a couch. Since, well, after carrying her body for that long, even my arms got a bit weak. I sat down there as well and placed Maren's head on my lap. "We're not dead. Pretty cool," I sounded quietly, looking down at the face of the woman I was in love with for some reason. And she snored back at me.
