Astra finally arrived at the control room. She walked angrily towards the control panel. Her long brown hair flying behind her.
"Minerva, send an email to Officer Blake." She instructed as she bit her lip in anger.

Valor looked around. "Why are we here?" He asked. Valor pushed the man in.
The man cried out.
The man cried out.
Astra turned around to face him. He was probably older than her, she was the youngest pilot of a passenger ship anyone had every met.
"Because." She said carefully. "Officer Blake didn't inform me about one of his army brats being on my ship."
Minerva chimed back on the control room intercom. "What would you like me to write in the email?" She asked.
Astra thought about it for a moment. "Tell me right now why I shouldn't send your little spy out of the air lock right now." She said with a sigh.

Valor looked at her. "Ma'am, If you send me out of this ship, you will most likely be killed." He said, he was very calm. "An, I have tech that would help me survive out there for an hour. I could have my ships out in here in 10 minutes."
She scoffed. "I don't doubt that. But you doubt my capabilities entirely." She said with a smile as she leaned against the console. "There's a reason Officer Blake needs permission to use my ship for his purposes." She grinned.
No one really knew the extent of the ship she inherited from her "Uncle."

Valor looked t her. He said nothing. He pushed the man forward. "So, what about him." He said as he started to pat him down.
She raised her eyebrows. "He's my passenger. If there is nothing amiss with him, then he can go back to his cabin." She explained as she looked over the screen.
She pushed aside some unimportant notifications and looked at their coordinates. "Well be on Nuna in a day. I would sit back and enjoy the ride." She told him.

Valor pulled a knife out of the mans pocket and sat the gun on a table. He pulled out a ruby. "Hes a thief that I was asked to quietly take down, an now everyone on this ship knows something is wrong."
He looked back at her. "I don't have to tell you that, and why would you care?" He said. He pushed the man into a seat and put a pair of freezing cuffs on him so he wouldn't move.
"I'm trying to prove a point." She said as she picked up the knife and examined it. It was just a regular knife. Nothing fancy or special about it. That was too bad.
Astra put the knife bad down and went back to the console. Still waiting for his reply.

Valor looked at her. "And the point was? Also if you really must know, Im 19." He said.
She let out a small chuckle. "If your 19 then you should understand. That rich people don't care. They may have looked genuinely concerned when you pulled that man away." She pointed to the passenger. "They are probably downstairs right now trying to find out what he did and who he is. But only for the sole use of gossip." She explained.
This hadn't been the first time her ship was used to find a criminal, and it had gotten much more ugly before.

Valor nodded. "Im aware of this. The rich people don't give a damn about anything that isn't money or them selfs." He said with a sigh. "Now, may I please go back to the lounge so I can finish this stupid ride?"
She waved goodbye to him without looking up from the console. She was looking at the ticket sales and passengers she was supposed the drop off on Nuna.
She sighed as she sat back on her Captain's chair. There wasn't much else to do.

Valor nodded an left. "The thief has been found. He is in captivity and will be sent to jail once we land." He said into his hand.
Kate entered the room and sat down on the arm of the captain's chair. Quickly opening the console and typing in the name Tristen.
"Good afternoon to you too sis," Astra said grimly as she looked at the galaxy slipping by.
Kate didn't look up from her console. "What's with the frozen guy." She asked neutrally. Might as well ask while she was here.
Astra sighed. "Another army brat showed up. Put the old man into custody." She explained quickly. "Why are you researching my passenger." She looked at the console. A black-haired boy being the subject of Kate's research.
Kate sent herself the information and got up. "A date for Avery." She said dismissively. She walked out the door and back to the cabin. She had gotten everything she needed.

Astra sighs and goes back to her cabin. she doesn't want to be part of the party that Kate was hosting. She wanted to sleep after her long day.
Astra:
Astra walked back into the control room with a cup of coffee. She couldn't sleep with all the noise coming from the party.
Might as well sit here until it ends
She sat in a pair of sweats and a black tank top. She looked at the stars as they passed by quickly.

Astra turned around to face him. Taking a sip of her coffee she sighs.
"We have a pit stop in 20 minutes, if you’d like you can get off on Xena." She said. "But we land in about 12 hours on Nuna."
"We have a pit stop in 20 minutes, if you’d like you can get off on Xena." She said. "But we land in about 12 hours on Nuna."
"I have buisness on Voltor, then Im heading back to Xena." He said
"But Nuna is also somewhere I have to go." He said with a sigh, leaving the room.
She sighed as she sat back into her chair. She couldn't wait until they got to Nuna, then she couldn't fly the Minerva around for fun. Visiting new planets, a bit of a vacation.
Valor had his own ships on each planet and was planning on going home for awhile
Maya knocked on the side of the door. "Um, ma'am? Will we be landing on Voltor?"
Maya knocked on the side of the door. "Um, ma'am? Will we be landing on Voltor?"
Astra turned around and gave the girl a smile. Taking a sip from her coffee she said. "We won't, this is a one way trip to Nuna." She explained. "Adding a pit stop on Xena."
Maya sighed. "Ok, I was hoping I would be able to get back home for awhile." She said, smiling and leaving the room.

The control panel came to life. Sending a buzzing sound that sent goosebumps down Astra's arms. She quickly turned over and her fit hands worked on the problem.
Asteroid belt. This was nothing she couldn't handle, it was easy enough to maneuver through. But it was an annoyance that she wished hadn't happened.
She quickly started the ship through the first bits of it. Nervousness dancing in her stomach. No matter how many times a pilot manoeuvres successfully through an asteroid belt, they always have the same chance of coming out.

The high pitched beep had finally stopped. Letting her hands lower from the control panel, Astra sighed.
Sitting back in back in her chair her nerves cooled a bit. She got through the asteroid belt. Not that she didn’t think she could do it, she knew she could. She just didn’t like the idea of one wrong move and the ship would be done for.
She located Xena on the sensors and prepared to land.

Astralanded the ship on the sandy surface of Xena. Letting out a breath, she decided to take a bit of a walk around the ship to calm her nerves from the asteroid belt incident.
Can't hurt
She got up and headed out of the control room.

Astra heads back into the control room. Waiting for the ok to leave Xena. She sits in her chair thinking about everything and nothing. A personal favourite topic of hers.
...
She finally hears the incoming message of ok. She quickly gets the ship into the air and sets their course for Nuna.

Maya knocked on the door. "Ma'am? Is there anything fun to do around here?"
Astra turns around and smiles at the girl. She shrugs "Not much really" She said honestly. "Want some coffee?" She asked before taking a sip from her own cup.
You could say she had an obsession with the drink. But she thought of it more as a strong liking.

Maya nodded. "Sure." She looked kind of tired. "Is it ok if I sit down?"
Maya sighed and leaned in the doorway, she looked too young to be there alone.
"Mhm" She said as she motioned to the chairs around the room. She took a breath of the bitter drink.
She got up and made her way to the coffee maker. "What do you take in your coffee?" She asked.

Maya sat down. "Im not sure." She said, leaning back in the chair. She had realisized how tired she was.
Its 10:00 here, ima head to bed))
((Kk))
Astra just nodded and made her coffee the same way she liked her own. With a single sugar and lots of milk.
She finished making the coffee and brought to warm mug to the girl. "Here you go." She said as she handed her the mug.

Maya took it and sipped it. "Thanks." She said, she set it next to her and, a few minutes later, fell asleep in the chair.
(NIGHT!)

Astra looked at the young girl. Probably no older than Kate.
She got up and went to get a blanket from the closet in the back. She dropped it over the girl then went back to sit in her captain's chair.
I should probably stop with the coffee if I want to get some sleep

Astra sighed as she punched in the auto-pilot for the ship. She rubbed her hands along her face, trying to keep herself awake a bit longer.
Just head back to the cabin
She got up and grabbed her sweater, slinging it over her arm. She closed the lights and hoped the girl wouldn't be too scared when she woke up the next morning.
Astra walked out of the room, a yawn escaping her lips.

Maya yawned. She turned over a bit and her eyes started to open.
Maya sat up and looked around. The captain must have left.
Maya got up and walked out of the room. She had put the blanket over her shoulders like a cape and grabbed the coffee. She left, looking for Astra.
"Here we are." She said as she entered the room. She had a desk in the corner and a couch and coffee table, which was going to have to do.
Wyatt walked over to the coffee table, setting up the cards, He set 2 decks of 10 cards, and 2 hands of 3 cards, "My mom called this one Keith's Grandmothers Game, it's pretty simple, you want to get all the cards out of the deck of 10." He flipped the top one over, "You have to get rid of this one, mine is a 6 of Dimond's, so I'll need a 5 to be able to place it. But, before you can place it, you need to have an ace, to be able to get the cards into the game; it goes Ace, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight Nine, Ten, Jack, Queen, King, and the King kills the deck. If you have a joker you use that as a wild card."
((Ok I know a similar game! This works.))
Astra looked at the games set up on the table. "Ok. Who goes first?" She asked. The game looked simple enough, get rid of your ten cards to win.
I got this.
