Wheee!
Akane
Hmm. Thought we had heard the last of her and the other girls.
Akane: You've not heard the last of me!
"Damn... stupid hair..."
Heh. The problems with living in Zero G
One of them.
Not true. If there are any children are on board, there is dirt. They
manufacture it from their bodies, you know. :)
That would have been nice, wouldn't it?
finding things to keep people busy, though Akane had a firm suspicion
that what they were doing was usually nothing more than pointless
busywork.
At least it's something to do.
Of course.
The fact that half of the intended occupants had never made it,
Oops. Didn't realize it was that many.
Well, it's only really implied between this and chapter one, but the
complex was under attack, and they all went for an emergency launch.
They didn't realize that the reaver in question had actually been
killed until later, so they launched one more, which is the ship
Ranma, Washuu, and Yosho saw on their way to Tokyo.
ship, only moments before it escaped. And their last sight was him,
alone, bleeding to death, and smiling despite that.
He's in a much happier place now. One that causes him no end of grief, just
like you three did. :)
Reavers: MAsu-haired girl! I would date with thee!
Ranma: AAaaaaaaah!
"Can tell," Shampoo said, stabbing at a button fiercely. She held
her strength in check enough to avoid damaging it -- important,
considering how ultimately fragile the ship truly was. "Hard not to
think of him."
Curiously, he thinks very little of you anymore.
Shhhh! You're not supposed to notice that. ;)
All other theoretical love interests gain a +5 proximity bonus.
"Forty three years, Akane. Unless someone finds us first."
Oh? They're adrift, or unaware of the new planet that's been found for them
by the Jurai? Think someone would mention it to the ships that launched.
Well, they're using current tech, which is capable of only sub-light
speeds. Their first priority was to escape, and be sure they could
survive the attempt. Tenchi mentioned that ships would be dispatched
to round up all the Terran refugees later, but since their ships are
self-sufficient (in theory) the refugees under attack from the
reavers are a higher priority.
Shampoo shrugged. "Never know," she mused. "Juu-rai might send
someone to pick us up, first."
I think someone there would find the time over the course of 40+ years, yes.
Me too.
was... She let that thought die. "Have I ever told you that you were a
good friend?" Akane asked suddenly.
Shampoo: No, Shampoo ever say the same thing?
Akane: No.
Shampoo: Then we no lie to each other before.
Heh!
Short, pointless, and the first of three. Collect 'em all!
Will in due time. It is a really short piece. But that meant it was easy to
do. ^_^
Hey, thanks for C&Cing!
