Meeting the Knight

[Ramke]

Whitaker walked towards the hangars where her and Graves' ships were located. She just wanted this done fast to end the mission and day faster to finally get some time to wind off. Not that it would have been long, but it was the only time she could really relax from all the stress that followed her as if a cloud of rain overcast permanently above. Her room on the Harmony was the only shelter from that rain, it was the only thing she really sought for at this point.

Graves' abrupt "observation" only irritated her, but you could probably hear a sensitive string being pulled after his following question. She saw Graves as the usual troublemaking outlaw that she encountered the likes of so many times before, but he also had a very valid point. Without him or the Lane Hackers, the battlegroup would have probably been completely wiped out and she'd either be in a grave or rotting in a cell for the rest of her life. Whitaker didn't take in the fact very well - working with the Lane Hackers and the Unioners was probably the most vision-shattering experience she had went through in recent time.

A few awkward seconds of walking passed before she could think up a response. "It's both." she blurted out and picked up the pace. The hangars were just around the corner.
