Meeting the Knight

[G. Graves]

So they were going to use their own ships again. Interesting. Graves had reckoned that they would be taking a third ship that was neither hers nor his, simply to eliminate the possibility of him using his ship as a weapon. All things considered, he knew that he was still an outsider that the Battlegroup couldn't rightly trust, and only his background with the Lane Hackers had probably gotten him to this point. This still didn't prevent him from thinking that this was more than just irresponsible of Whitaker. What if he had an array of highly explosive gravimetric mines on board with the intention of obliterating the Harmony? 'Oh my, please visit us and blow us up. Surely, there is nothing wrong with the possibility that you might.' Graves chuckled dryly besides himself. It wasn't like he planned to do any of that, but it was still irresponsible.

"N'aww," he intoned as he heard Whitakers response. "And here I thought we'd be making a really good team, you and I. You know, we could be like Bonny and Clyde without the dying part and me actually having lots of money." He sometimes liked saying these kinds of things simply to get funny reactions. Given Whitaker's grumpy nature, he really felt challenged to do it. Rounding a corner, they approached the hangar bays already. This Freeport really was small as hell, and Graves couldn't fathom how people could actually live here.
