Across the Expanse: Day 20
*Start transmission*
Lee: You there Amy?
Havardy: Hey there Jim. You settling in yet?
Lee: Boredom is kicking in already.
Havardy: That’s the spirit. It’s just us again, so time to settle in for the long haul.
Lee: At least they left one of their shuttles to replace Sheila.
Havardy: Did they now? That’s convenient.
Lee: Not as convenient as having an unlicensed Corsair. Where did you hide that anyways?
Havardy: Somewhere in the ravines, I was actually on my way out to move it over here.
Lee: You’re just gonna leave it out in the open?
Havardy: For now, if another Coalition ship shows up I’ll just hide it at the bunker or something.
Lee: What’s the status on the frigate?
Havardy: Still here, and still not moving. If need be I could probably power it on but unless the engine gets fixed it’s not going anywhere.
Lee: Good... good…
Havardy: …
Lee: …
Havardy: Well I guess I’ll be going now. I’ll let you know when I’m on my way back.
Lee: Right, have a safe trip Amy.
Havardy: Thanks.
Havardy: Alright I’m in Tessa and on my way back.
Lee: Good to know, safe flying out there.
Havardy: I think I’m gonna take the scenic route, push the girl to her limits and see what she’ll do.
Lee: You didn’t do that being chased by pirates?
Havardy: To an extent, but I’ve got plenty more tricks to try out.
Lee: Well don’t do anything reckless.
Havardy: You seriously telling me to do that?
Lee: I guess that is a dumb request.
Havardy: Anyways I’ll get back to you in a bit.
Lee: Got it.
Havardy: Whew! This thing can handle a few things that’s for sure.
Lee: I can tell.
Havardy: Huh? How?
Lee: You left the coms open when you were whooping and hollering.
Havardy: ...well that’s embarrassing.
Lee: I thought it was pretty entertaining.
Havardy: You would wouldn’t you?
Lee: Yeah, made a recording and everything.
Havardy: You didn’t.
Lee: *Plays recording*
Havardy: You son of a bitch. Delete that right now!
Lee: I dunno, I bet your brother would love to hear this.
Havardy: That’s just cruel.
Lee: Gotta find something to entertain me.
Havardy: I’m sure your sister would love to know her brother is an asshat.
Lee: Oh she already knows that, what do you think I did whenever I was home?
Havardy: Man, I really am missing uptight Jim right now.
Lee: Eh, you’ll be fine.
Havardy: I’m getting this sinking feeling that I won’t be.
Lee: *Laugh* Anyways I got a message from Helos, supplies should be arrive tomorrow sometime.
Havardy: Nice, I can taste that wine already.
Lee: You’re gonna have to let me know who your guy is one of these days.
Havardy: One day maybe, for now just let me know if you need anything special, I’ll get it for you.
Lee: Sounds good to me.
Havardy: …
Lee: …
Havardy: Man, everything died down pretty quickly didn’t it?
Lee: Yeah they did. Can’t say I miss the excitement though.
Havardy: Fair point, and hey, I do have me a ship. Things are looking up already.
Lee: Yeah they are.
Havardy: Anyways I’m gonna find a place to set Tessa down, contact you later.
Lee: Gotcha, smooth flying to you Amy.
