Reynard doesn't question Dalia's fate further, and the moment all three of you are standing in the shuttle, your vox comes to life. It's father Grigori, although he's a bit hard to understand, as there's some loud, unpleasant mechanical screeching noise in the background. It's propably some equipment malfunction, but you can't shake a feeling it sounds like angry tech-priest throwing a fit in their heaten binary language. Father Grigori sounds joyful. "Great work, everyone, but especially novice Rosette. You've made our God-Emperor proud today. You're free from your duties for the rest of the day, even though there aren't many opportunities to relax aboard." Then there's a click somewhere in the background, and father's tone changes to sterner one. "Except sister Dalia. Please, inform her to report with the rest of the opposing force, they've got some cleaning to do. And pay me a visit later, but you don't need to hurry. Enjoy your free time."
You give Dalia her new orders, and ignore her whinning, but the face she's made when she realized she'll have to clean the foamy mess in the hallway is something to remember. You don't stop for her, though, and make your way directly to where this excercise started. Nika, perhaps sensing you're in no mood for for her usual behavior, actually refrains for annoying you along the way. Such event should propably be recorded for the future generations, because it's pretty unbeliavable. She separates from you and Reynard along the way and disappears Emperor knows where.
In the storeroom you've taken over, Reynard drops his weapon and Nika's equipment he grabbed on the way back while you're taking off your armor. Unfortunately, he's just looking at you when you turn towards him and and inadvertently flash him. You can't see his face, but there's a short but noticeable pause before he hurriedly turns away from you. "You've suit's been damaged. Perhaps you should change first. Or better yet, I'll leave you alone." Well, he certainly knows how to state the obvious. He doesn't start leaving immediately, though, and although he doesn't say anything, it seems he's waiting for your reaction.
If it takes me two weeks or more to respond to a RP without prior notice, send me a PM. It's more likely I've missed the last post, forgot or got distracted and need a little reminder rather than deciding to drop the game without warning.
