Nerfs, on his ship? He just spent the past year rebuilding it. Sure, parts were cheaper when he got them, and labor was mostly free. But it was still his home, his ship. The Warden shook his head but still laughed.
“I am not all that pretty, still know how to get my hands dirty.” Not that he preferred it. He was a pilot first, and a hunter second. A rancher… well, that was last.
“Well, at least you’ll be there to witness it, can’t be all bad.” He said, more in passing. Would hold her to seeing it, at least. And then they could talk more. Compare how to survive in this wild galaxy.
Maybe he’d get lucky on the next draw and hit 20. But then they’d be loading her ship up? Or… well, maybe that and doing a bit of a fact finding mission for the Levants. So many worlds were still so disconnected. And that was something he could help… But did she even have the right path engine?
Hitting real space the rented ship went through a lurch as they entered the system.
“What is it?” Jared was looking at the screen then looked up, used to his haulcraft and its bubble cockpit, to see what was above or to their side.
“Anything?” He said as he steadied the ship and made to be as controlled and heading to the planet as possible. They didn’t need to look like heroes right away.
“Hopper, what do we have for guns on this thing…” Always good to be prepped.
