Meeting the Knight

[Ramke]

"This isn't a movie, we're trying to survive. Stop dreaming, for God's sake!" she retorts in a volatile manner. They managed to reach the hangar zone, and this is where they had to split to get to their respective ships. Whitaker gives a piercing look to Graves, obviously quite upset. Urgh, why did she have to go through this escort mission with him, of all the people that the Admiral could have wanted to meet? That man was seemingly a complete child that didn't understand what he's going to.

"Just go. Get your ship and I'll meet you out of the station. You'll get the coordinates after your ship's up and running." she dismissively pointed towards the other hangar entrances, waiting for him to start moving. All that was left is to just escort him to Harmony, and then she'd have her assignment accomplished.

The thought of Graves staging this meeting to get critical information or try to sabotage Harmony came to mind, but she was confident that the Admiral had some contingency plan in mind. The battleship's sensors are powerful, and he would probably be watched closely on board the ship. Besides, even if he did try to pull something funny, who would come to them in time? The system of Bering lacked people who were willing to fly away from the lanes due to the risk of being wrangled and mauled by the less popular residents of the system, namely the Unioners. It wasn't the first time "outsiders" like these went to have meetings with Harmony representatives, though this was the first time Whitaker herself was involved. Unfortunately.
