I wont say Goodbye

[Jeremy Hunter]

The Bastet slid into the docking bay at Kruezberg, settling down gently. Alexis slid out of the ship, wincing at her aching body. She was still sore from her torture experience with Lori; That, and her scar was tugging. Alexis, after asing around, found a bathroom, where she rubbed water on the scar to soften it up. Sighing with resignation, Alexis made her way to the ship broker on Kruezberg.

"Guten Tag Fraulin (//Horrible spelling, oh well.) How may I help you?"
"I need a CSV. I want to head to New Berlin."
"Ja, I have a few CSVs. One thousand credits and one's yours."

Alexis sighed.

"I got...six hundred..."
The man frowned. "That is-"
"Thousand."
The man paused, then smiled. "One CSV."

Alex paid the docking fees for her Bastet, leaving it in what she hoped were good hands. Climbing into her CSV, Alex powered up the engine and lifted off, setting a course for the planet. She was there in no time.

As the Docking Ring came into view, Alex took a breath. She sent her request, and then gained clearance. Sighing, Alex guided her ship down to the spaceport, hoping she could mimic the Rheinland accent and avoid being caught; Liberty and Rheinland were not on the best terms, and war was just around the corner. As the CSV settled down, she noticed a blonde-haired girl working on a Dromedary freighter. As she climbed out, the girl pushed out from under the freighter and stood up. Spotting Alexis, the girl walked over.

"You Alexis?"
"Um....Yes."
"My sister, Lori, called ahead. Said you needed a place to stay."
"Y...yes....if it's not a bother."
"Nah, it's not. Ve kinda like company; My sister, Lauren...though...is kinda traumatized...so if you could be careful around her?"

Alexis nodded. She brushed her clothing smooth.

"Um....lead the way miss Voelker..."
"Please. Call me Felicity."

Alexis nodded, hugging herself.

"Ok Felicity...um...please, call me Alex."
Felicity nodded. "Pleased to meet you Alex."
"Pleased to meet you Felicity."

Felicity led Alex to a small car near the spaceport. Soon they wree driving towards Felicity's home.

"So...what brings you to Rheinland Alex?"
Alexis sighed. "I want to find my memories."
