"And you've done more for me in one month than I could have done
in one year. It's the very least I could do. It won't take a
miracle to get Razgriz space worthy now."
Shauna wished he could see her devilish grin.
"What makes you think she isn't?"
Those words took a few moments for his mind to process. He
stared long at her to see if she was bluffing. Shauna pressed a
button on the control board. One red button emitted as she
stepped away.
"Captain"
Star lord walked to the panel and stared at the button.
Hesitantly, but eagerly, he reached forth and pressed it. The
entire engine core began to hum and glow. The flow continue
toward the bow of the ship. They both walked to the front
watching all the gizmos turn on. The lights got brighter than
they had ever been. Reaching the cockpit, all lights, switches,
and panels glowed in color. Red, green, and burnt orange coated
every bulb.
"Razgriz…is ready to fly, Sir."
His look of disbelief and awe turned into that genuine smile he
had been experiencing. He sat in the pilot chair, dead center of
the cockpit controls. Shauna took position at the secondary
controls behind him. He turned to look at her. She stared back.
They cling their bottles one more time with another swig from
star lord, but a longer gulp from Shauna. He flipped the large
metal switches, watching every move send new lights on and send
pulses through the ship.
"Fuel reserves at 45%. Drive core functioning at 100%. Life
support online. Kinetic barriers are activated. Weapon system
disengaged. Electronics is a go. Navigation guidance is a go.
Communications go."
"We are go for launch, captain."
"Bringing the vectors to 15%."
The ship's vector and micro thrusters send a slight vibration
throughout the ship until it had escaped the artificial gravity.
"Now…let's stretch her legs."
Activating the main engines, it surged forward. Staring through
the cockpit windows, the 180 degree view of Omega changed for
the first time since he could remember. Now he could see the
vast vacuum of space and stars. The glow of the Mass Relay
approached in the distance. All he could hear was the hum of the
drive core with the bass of the thrusters.
"All thrusters are operational and running at 50%. Preparing to
jump through the relay for the Hourglass Nebula."
"Coordinates are set…Captain Craig"
The closer the Razgriz came, the harder he clutched the seat. It
was a slight jolt when he felt a tight, warmth on his arm.
Shauna outstretched her hand. Their fingers locked as they
veered into the relay.
The ship catapulted through…nothing fell off, nothing broke, all
systems functioned. They broke off and glided through outer
space.
Both there arms fall as they take a moment to breathe relief. He
spun the chair to face Shauna. She was just as amazed. They both
were out of the chairs in a huge embrace. Her arms tugged over
his shoulders as his swarmed around her back. In the moment, he
made a big kiss on the glass of Shauna's helmet and begin
shouting and laughing

operations."

CRAIG! HEY CRAIG, IS THAT YOUR SHIP UP AND RUNNING?
"This is Razgriz. That has to be you Freddie. I can recognize
that accent anywhere in deep space."
Through the windows, a Kowloon class vessel pulled the Corvette
ship. Its size was much apparent compared to the smaller
freighter.
PRIDE OF THE SOUTH WHAT CAN I TELL YA. I GOT YER CRAFT. YOU BE
ABLE TO DOCK WITH IT? ITS BEEN DRAGGING ON MY FREIGHTER LIKE THE
2ND EX-WIFE.
"We are in your vicinity. We can be at your position in a
nanoclick."
OLRIGHT. REMEMBER THE DEAL: YER TRANSFERRED CREDITS…AND…I GET TO
SEE THE CONSORT.
"You are all good. Your appointment is in one month at the
Citadel."
A WHOLE MONTH?
"A lot less than a whole year isn't it? Not to mention being
able to keep this from the current wife."
ALWAYS WITH A CURVEBALL. BUT WE ARE EVEN NOW.
"Clean slate. That also means I am not liable to bust you out of
a bar fight anymore."
ONLY WHEN IT WAS WITH OFFICERS. VAYA CON DIOS. CAN'T STOP THE
SIGNAL.
Freddie disengaged his tether and sped off toward the mass
relay.
Shauna stared at him with disbelief.
"Sometimes favors are more important than credits"

The Razgriz changed course and rocketed towards the much newer,
and sleeker, batarian ship. Its deep purple lines spanned from
its V-shaped bridge lengthwise across to its single bore
thruster. They piloted down and side docked with the corvette.
Star Lord's helmet formed around his head from his coat before
he made his way onto the derelict ship. He had his guns drawn as
he walked into the hallway; checking the corners with every
step.

"After you Six. This place wasn't here when I was. I just need
to see if I can track down Winston or Jack. Then I can find the
rest of the team and they can fill me in on Overwatch's status
and what every one is up to."

Six looks at prep
"Who?" He asks as the two get into an elevator
The glass behind prep shows a futuristic Vancouver Canada with
flying cars and shuttles populating the air space

Shauna followed behind him much more casually.
"Do you really need that?"
Star lord looked back as Shauna motioned at his weapon. He
realized his second natured approach coming from years of
surviving the galaxy

"Oh sorry. I guess it's a hard habit to break."
He holstered his pistols, though kept his hand very close just
incase.They walked down the barren, lifeless passageway. With no
power they relied on their omni-lights to see. So far nothing
seemed out of the ordinary.

"Friends of mine. One's a soldier and the others a gorilla...
No matter how many times I say that i still feel slightly insane
afterwards."
He marvels at the city and then looks at his wrist.
"Maybe Winston could give me an upgrade."
