For the record, since I don’t think I ever made it clear in the actual story, the Iron Echo is not flying directly through the heart of the assembled Tet’Sali fleet. That would be far riskier than Hiura would agree to. They’ve always been closer to the periphery. It doesn’t really matter, story-wise, but I would find it weird if they decided to fly straight through the center of such a large armada, cloaked or not, so I figured I’d point it out.

Into the Tet’Sali frying pan!
Maybe Rook wakes up cranky and knocks Azarek’s lights out!
Hold on… Rook who?
Rook does like her sleep! Most gelatinous blobs do.
No, please don’t wake up Rook. Rook has had a hard week and this is the one day she gets to sleep in. Her dicky knee/knee-analogous-alien-leg-hinge is acting up and she needs to rest it. Anyway, tomorrow it’s Rook’s turn to creatively fill in the ship’s space account book so everything they’ve done this past space month looks space legitimate the next time the space revenue service do a space audit. You wouldn’t want Rook to be groggy for that would you? Be polite and let her sleep.
Oh, we do have fun here in the comments.
Ha ha. And I have fun reading the comments! Now I want to do a whole long, boring graphic novel about the Space Revenue Service audit. Just 125 pages of them asking the crew about each itemized receipt.
‘Oh no, sir! That’s not “Hard Drugs” it’s “Hardd Rugs”. Fine carpeting from planet Hardd VII woven from the hair of the Schrödinger’s goats. Very soft. It’s the superpositional thread count, you see.
I think they might need to lay down some rugs or shag carpet to hide all those scuffs and dents on the floor of the um… cockpit seems the wrong word.
Yes, some rugs would definitely make the ship more home-y. And some scented candles! Actually, the candles could come in quite handy if they have these power outages often. Hmm. Food for thought, Hiura.
