A slightly smaller Mess

Emma: lets just get...the fuck out of here

Akira: "My sentiment exactly. In future, don't question it when i shoot things yeah?"

Emma:...sorry. Triggered...bad memories.

Max: +Hurry up!+

Akira: "You gotta be ruthless to survive out here." *Hammers the airlock release that the boarding pod docked to* "Everyone in. Go!"  +On it sweetie+

Max: +Thank you+

Emma: no i mean... specific ones

The Shas'O laughed darkly, giving Jax a slightly more amused look.
"You haven't met the Kroot."

Akira: "Emma i'd love to do a little support group, But now is not the time okay?" *hits eject*

Jax: "Depends how many alcoholics they've eaten."

"Sorry boss I'll be fine just...give me a second"

*the pod jettisons.* Akira: "I think you need a break from combat."

*A minute passed before the pod shudders as it's caught by their ship*
M: +What the fuck happened?+

"It wasn't combat. Was...that specifically"

Akira: +Some weird ass xeno thing.+ "Everyone out but rekan. Quarantine, you know procedure."

Akira: "No buts Emma. I can't have my team freaking on me."

"Do not get me started about their humour, they were very upfront about their cannibalism."

Jax: "I know, but isn't it a very sombre occasion to eat their own dead. They conducted it like a funeral."

"....sorry boss" *emma looks very dejected*

Max: +Fuck....I'm guessing it isn't dead+ *It rumbles and comes to a halt upon entering the docking bay*

+Nope, so we're sending out a warning signal so people stay the fuck away, and running like shit.+

*Rekan stays seated while everyone else stands and leaves* "Gah. Hate this."

M: +Great...You're not hurt are you?+ *She can clearly hear the worry in his voice*

+I'm fine. Few new scars maybe.+

M: +*sigh of relief* Is anyone else hurt?+ *She can quite clearly hear him walking around*

+Rekan got pounced on by whatever it was. He's staying in the boarding pod.+

Vee Sat in the room where her father was drawing and making something out of clay

+Alright, want me to send anyone down? He sits next to Vee*

+No, its alright sweetie.+

Vee is sitting there drawing a pretty accurate scetch of akira max and Emma but in her drawing Emma is a bit more angelic

+Keep me updated+
"That's a really good drawing, Vee!"

" thank you Dad , it's a welcome home gift for Emma and other mom " she says with a smile sculpting a old Viking ship out of clay " and this is for other moms alien friend "

"I'm sure she'll love it!"

" I hope so"

*Max hugs his daughter*
"I love you"

" I love you too daddy , is mommy akira alright?"

Max: "Yeah, she's alright"

" I'm happy to hear aren't you going to see her?"

"In a minute, but right now I'm sitting with you."

" can I come with you to see her?" She says finishing the clay boat

"Of course"

She grabs her things and then grabs his hand "thank you"

"You're welcome"
*He takes Vee's hand and leads her to the docking bay*

She smiles and walks with him holding the clay boat and picture she seemed nervous yet excited.

"You seem eager"

" it's always fun to see them"

*he chuckles*
"You're not wrong"

???:....who?

G: Freeblade, I'm investigating a potential cult..."

*Akira is standing in the docking bay waiting, clad head to toe in the suit max made for her. Lending her a less than child friendly visage.*

"Cult?! no cult here!"

*Max and Vee walk in*
Max: How'd the armour perform?

--

"I have reason to doubt that"

Akira: "Didn't really get to test it. No hostiles save for the xeno."
