Dreams of Crimson

There was no response from the Loki earlier in space before it landed. In a rush, several men armed with automatic weapons assembled around the Loki, aiming at the ramp at the back and the cockpit.

Lucia ran all the way from the bridge to the hangar. As she arrived, she stared at the men surrounding the ship. Correcting her white-purple hair, the gallic woman took a deep breath. "What the hell are you doing?! Lower your weapons, that's an order!"

Almost in an instant, they lower their weapons, stepping back. "Ma'am, the ship seems to operate. It is not powering down and we can't really get on board without the ladder or ramp going down. We can't really do much. In addition, it is protocol, you should know that."

Lucia growled, she stared at the men. Most of the crew was normal humans, wanderers that seek enlightenment from higher beings. They all knew who Chevalier, Lucia, was. The gallic woman looked at them in anger, her eyes flaring up in a deep purple glow. In an echoing voice, she spoke, almost yelling. "Are you serious?! You will follow my orders and I won't allow such behaviour on this ship, understood?!" Before they could even answer, she turned away and towards the ship. The crewmen took a step back. Fear filled their eyes. They saluted her.

Taking a deep breath, she stared at the ship. Worry filling her eyes as she pondered. Then, another flash of those purple eyes. Her entire focus set upon the ship and the fact that she had to get in. A psionic wave was the result of it. It did not take long for the ramp to creak. Narrowing her eyes, the ramp soon gave in and opened up. Her mind ran haywire, searching for Emilia within the ship, all while she slowly stepped onto the ramp, making her way slowly into the ship.
