As he walks through the corridor he pays little attention to those around him, instead finding himself lost in his thoughts. Thinking: Seems everyone has a hidden story here. Though that's to be expected given the career we've all chosen. So our attackers were opportunistic, makes sense. Which means they may give us a little longer then I first anticipated to recover. Though these hunters are what concern me the most. They fought the robots when they attacked us, was it to help us? To see what it is we're capable of? Or is the enemy of my enemy my friend?Sarah following along quietly, as always the thoughts inside Ghost's head a mystery to her. Though he did seem to be contemplating something, he was planning something, but she didn't know what just yet. Oh well, no point in brooding over things she doesn't understand, so she went back to enjoying her new found freedom and taking in the surroundings and people. Thinking: Seems caution would be best served here, but even that is a flawed strategy. We play it too safe and we'll run out of resources, or find ourselves incapable of collecting new ones. We could always run the risk and try contacting the hunters, but we don't know where to begin. With space transport available to them they could have come from any of these planets. The same can be said for the robots. Our lack of weaponary on this vessel means that an open conflict in space will lead to our demise, so fleeing is our best option. Meaning engines need to be ready for a jump at a moments notice. Again that produces further problems, which direction do we jump? What do we do if we jump away from these possible allies and into the enemies hands?Ghost's brow furrows, his face betraying his thoughts. Something wrong Ghost?Keeping his voice low so only Sarah can hear him.. This situation, it's one of the worst I've ever found myself in. It's gonna take at least some level of luck to get us back home, and luck is something I don't place much faith in. I'm not worried, we've been in sticky situations before and we always come out of it, that's why we're still here. As Sarah said she's not worried either because people like you are on board, and will defend this vessel to your last breath. You always look to the worst possible outcome first ghost.She teases as she giggles alongside him There are good things as well as bad, maybe try thinking about them. You never know what you might discover.Ghost returns to his silence as he continues to make his way towards the bridge. Upon arrival he stands to attention and salutes Naomi and Okado. Then standing to attention he awaits the arrival of echo squad.</blockquote>
