Children of Athena

[Snoozzzer]

While enroute to a trade lane which was scheduled to be high in trade traffic that day, she happened across the two small creatures emerging from the dense badlands, soon followed by a Bounty Hunter. Taking the situation at face value, a pair of apparently defenseless creatures being hunted by a well equipped and typically nasty breed of pilot, Alison opened fire. Though she had did not quite realize what they were, she felt a strong need to protect their frail bodies. The hunter'€™s fighter was cut into pieces by the red and purple tachyon canons of her gunship. Ali looked back to find the two beings huddled behind her ship, having taken shelter from the hunter'€™s barrage.

'€œDon'€™t be scared, little ones'€ she muttered to herself, '€œI'€™m here to help you'€

She took a fancy to the morphs, admiring their natural curves and inquisitive nature. The morphs circled her from a distance, sensing comfort and security coming off Ali'€™s ship.

'€œCome, little ones. I know of safer space'€

She nudged her ship in the aforementioned direction, hoping to herself that whatever those beings were, she might have the pleasure of looking out for them. She could no longer produce an offspring herself, but felt a sense of connection to the beings orbiting her ship. As she pulled away from the scene, the translucent beings followed suit. Perhaps she might lead them to acquire knowledge of their home, they thought amongst themselves.
