Project: Daedalus (Issue #2)

"Yeah I guess she would probably know more about this," Andrew says, looking at Jaya as she rests. "Dallas is only about 20 minutes away, I'll just let her rest instead of bother her with questions."

Max, sitting near Barrett, looks at his cast, saying in his thick accent, "I apologise for the pain the beast has caused you. I try to temper him, but it is difficult; he lives to cause pain, it would seem."

"Hey, no problem. Don't get me wrong, it's no picnic, but I've had worse," Barrett replies. Speaking more loudly, trying to gain Andrew's attention, he adds, "Besides, looks like my vacation time will be extended for a couple weeks."

"Yeah, you probably got yourself hurt on purpose, you weasel," Andrew says, snorting.

"There's a phone in the back, beside the bathroom, Tyrone. Help yourself," Jennifer says, looking back from the cockpit.

Miguel will read a book or a magazine to pass the time.

Tyrone walks back and finds the phone just past the last seats and before the washroom, and dials his mom's number. While nobody hears anyone answering on the other end, Tyrone is quickly heard to say cheerfully, "Hey Mamma!"

Despite the fact it is only a phone, in an airplane with the engines running, an excited woman's voice is heard blaring over the earpiece as Tyrone holds it a good foot from his head.

"My baby! My baby is alive!" the woman said among rather long and excited screams. Finally, you hear it shout loudly, "I seen ya on TV boy! Why'd you not call your mamma?" Tyrone puts the phone back to his ear with a grin, and the conversation becomes heard only on one side.

"I was kind of busy, mamma. <pause> I wanted to call you earlier, but this is my first... <pause> Of course not mamma. <pause> Yes, I'm with them. <pause> He's a bit shorter than he looks on TV, but no, he doesn't shed much. <pause> I swear mamma, I didn't break his leg! <pause> No I aint lyin'! <pause> You taught me better than that, mamma; we never hurt anyone if we could avoid it. <pause> Yes, she did. <pause> No. <pause> I aint givin' you any lip! Ok, ok..."

Tyrone puts the phone to his chest. "Mamma says thanks for saving me, Jaya."

He listens to the phone again. "Oh, that's Sarah. A cop in New York. <pause> Recognize her? Fancy that. <pause> Miguel, Max and Kiro. <pause> The kid, Aaron. <pause> No I don't know if his parents have been told yet. <pause> I'm sure they'd like that. <pause> Um... <pause> Yes, she is as beautiful in person. A bit brash though. <pause> I aint badmouthin' Angel, mamma. <pause> I'm sure even St. Peter has his off days. <pause> No, I haven't got to touch her wings. <pause> I'm not going up there, mamma. <pause> No I'm not talkin' back! <pause> <pause> 'Cause she'd probably kick my ass! <pause> I'd say a date is likely not an option this exact instant. <pause> No, I'm not putting her on the phone. <pause> She's flying the plane! <pause> NO! I aint sayin' that noway noho... <pause> Mamma, please! <pause> God damn mamma. <pause> No, I aint swearin'. I'm just prayin' to someone for help. Ok, ok, hold on."

Tyrone puts the earpiece to his chest. "Mamma says "Hi" guys and says you should all drop by for supper some time."

Tyrone puts the phone to his ear again. "No way, mamma. That's just somethin' a guy doesn't say to another guy. <pause> Of for the love of pete."

Tyrone puts the earpiece to his chest and looks at Neutron with gritted teeth. "Dude, she wants to know if your single and says if you want a private nurse you can stay with her anytime. Aparently, you have a good ass for a white guy."

Tyrone listens to the phone again. "I told you, she's flyin' the plane. <pause> "Hopefully soon. We're going to Dallas for now for the investigation. <pause> I wouldn't put it past him. <pause> Maybe if I don't say anything about him, he won't do anythin' bad. Don't want him goin' after you. <pause> Yeah, she's alright for a psycho bitch. <pause> I'm glad she took care of ya mamma, but... <pause> I am not being flippant. <pause> Mamma, she helped put me in that prison. <pause> Yeah, I still have more copies. Just to keep you safe. <pause> Hopefully soon. Angel didn't say anything about a long layover in Dallas. <pause> I told you, she's flyin' the plane!"

Tyrone continues to talk with his mother in a similar manner for a goodly while.

Aaron is trying not to eavesdrop but a big smile crosses his face at the thought of dinner at "Momma's" house. He leans over and whispers to Sarah, "I think I like Mamma"

Tyrone puts the earpiece to his chest. "Mamma says "Hi" guys and says you should all drop by for supper some time."

As Tyrone talks to his mamma, the magazine that Miguel is hold starts to shake and occasionally a small chuckle is heard.

Miguel drops the magazine into his lap as he starts to laugh out loud.

Aaron is trying not to eavesdrop but a big smile crosses his face at the thought of dinner at "Momma's" house. He leans over and whispers to Sarah, "I think I like Mamma"

Not wanting to intrude on a private conversation, but near impossible to miss any of what Tyrone was saying with the resonating voice of his, Sarah can't help but chuckle quietly. " Ah, New Yorker Mother's. No one else like them in this world!"

Kiro lets a grin break out on his face, it lightens his features and suddenly he is quite attractive. As he chuckles he makes eye contact with a few of his new found friends, "I guess now we see where he gets his zany sense of humour at the very least!" Kiro states between clenched teeth, shaking his head.

 

[Agamon]

Barrett turns white as a sheet. "Um, yeah, I'm seeing someone..."

"What?" Andrew says from up front. "Since whe..."

"I said, I'm seeing someone!" Barrett repeats with a grin as he blushes.

"She's right, though. You do have a nice butt."

"I'm telling your wife you said that."

"Go ahead, she'd probably agree," Andrew quips, looking back with a toothy grin. He's about to turn back to the instrument panel, but continues to scan the passengers of the aerodyne with some interest. Those that notice this watch him raise an eyebrow and you can almost see the light bulb go on over his hairy horned head. He leans over to Jennifer and begins to whisper something to her.

 

[Calinon]

Tyrone continues talking to his mamma.

 

[Master_Pugs]

Kiro leans his head back against the wall of the aerodyne the grin slowly fading. He stretches and arches his back, then cracks his neck with two swift movements, grimacing slightly. "Sorry about that, I have to do it once in a while..." he says to noone in particular with an embaressed look in his eye at the sound. He turns his attention to Andrew, "Hey, Andrew, how long until we touch down, I should probably do my stretching, with all the excitement I forgot to earlier."
