They arrived back at the ship with no difficulties. The shrimp in the net was still knocked out and Megaera wondered if it died from the shock. Upon confirmation it seemed like it was still showing what resembled vital signs and Megaera locked it up in a sturdy cage in the cargo hold. Mi helped stack the containers with the tea plants in the other corner. The takatea refused to go near the door and slept outside.
Night has fallen and Megaera sat outside the ship and looked at the stars.
"Beautiful, is it not? So many stars that have seen no life in all their many years."
She looked at Mi
"It seems you got some shrimp blood on you when I shot it."
