Dinner aboard the Neith

[Dave Synk]

Dave made a small smile and looked at Erik.

"You are a wise man Erik, a very wise man."

He took a pause.

"Right, and know Ellie being here... I think.. she knows. Yes I do care about you Ellie *and he looked to her*, but I am twisted between my duty and my feelings. And regarding Ashley, is even more painful. It's impossible to think that she survived... there were these creatures that apparently were K'Hara ships. If so she is drifted in space for 9 years...vacuum damage, space cold and other biological critical damage. Until now I secretly studied the effects of a Phased Jumphole, a special Jump Hole, very unstable and can send you to more exotic systems. There was one in Edinburgh as well. These are rare phenomenas... and I don't know how to open or create this.. It's impossible."

He gave Ellie a look in her eyes, showing his sincerity, then he looked again to the stars very tense holding the glass very strong.
