Ottawa Not long after the two stepped out of the taxi, a shuttlecraft came down and, guided by Ory'hara, landed. It was only eight meters long, and Anik would find it cramped inside. Ory'hara seated her in the cargohold, in a simple seat normally folded into the wall. She then closed the hatch...

Ottawa Ory'hara checked a datapad, and said; "Right, the shuttle is almost here. Hey driver, just let us off here and you can be on your way."

Ory'hara grimaced; "When I first met you, I had been ship-wrecked for a few months. The tech and gear I have now is a little more advanced than I had back before that, but not much." She paused, looking strangely at Anik before continuing; "Every ship can crash, and most can be traced one way or...

Ottawa "I've got a shuttle on auto-pilot coming down. It'll reach us in a few minutes." - She paused, then added; "Going into orbit can be a little... uncomfortable when you're not used to it. Don't worry though, I've done it thousands of times."

Ottawa Ory'hara smiled slightly, and whispered conspiratorially; "We'll fly."

Ottawa "A park or a plaza or something, preferably not with too many people on it but at this point I'm not picky." - Ory'hara replied. She still had a nagging sensation that they were in danger, and she longed to be protected by the thick steel hull of her ship.

Ottawa - In a cab Ory'hara glanced over her shoulder to check for pursuers, replying; "Yeah, I know that 'home' isn't the same the same thing as nativity." She paused, then said; "Hey driver, get us somewhere open would you? We'll be getting off soon."

Well, there is one troubling thing that would make me seriously hesitate, and that is phantom pain. I'm generally more for non-permanent procedures though. For example putting an exo-skeleton around my arm to make it function better. But cutting off my arm and replacing it with a robotic one...

Ottawa "I do, I found out when I was searching for you. Didn't know it was another Earth though, but that makes it much easier." - Ory'hara replied, before chuckling; "And if they want revenge, they'll have to get in line. And until they develop space ships, they'll have a hell of a time...

Ottawa "Assuming we got out of here, yeah. I know which planet your home is on, after that it might get more tricky. But we'll figure it out." Ory'hara replied, occasionally glancing around but mostly keeping her gaze on the driver. "But this feels too easy... I expected them to try to hunt us...

Ottawa "I wasn't exactly at my best back then." - Ory'hara replied, not too happy to recall those days. She brightened up as she said; "But yeah, I got home. Though my homeworld is a boring lump of ice, so I didn't stay long. The stars called me back." [hr] Ella looked up, having been pouring...

Ottawa First, Ory'hara coldly said; "I took care of them." She then leaned in and whispered so that the driver would not hear; "Don't mention it to the driver, but they're all alive. I knocked some of 'em out, and stunned some with a grenade after they noticed us. I shot one, but he'll wake up...

Ottawa Ory'hara looked over at Anik, replying; "Do what?", quickly followed by; "Oh hey, your disguise went away."

Ottawa "Don't even think about trying something. I'll blow your head off without a second thought." - Ory'hara said threateningly, before adding; "But if you just drive as fast as you can for an hour, you'll be no worse for the wear."

Ory'hara hurried over to the nearest taxi, and opened the back-door. After getting Anik into the back-seat, Ella took a quick glance over at the compound entrance before hopping into the seat behind the driver. "Drive out of the city, as fast as you can. And stay away from the water!" - She...
