Threats from within.

[Exile]

'Lily! Get your ass in gear damnit. Riviera has a visitor.' 'Ungh..You, what...Who?' I slowly muttered whilst waking up in reply to Julie's commands. ' I tried to open my eyes, but just couldn't pull it off. I wanted to return to sleep but instead was violently awakened by Julie kicking me out of the bed. 'I told you to get your ass in gear! Get dressed, clean up and meet me outside in five.' In my mind I sighed, somehow this ment alot to Julie. I opened my new wardrobe and randomly picked something. (Which didn't realy matter. That's what you get when all uniforms are the same.) Afterwards, i quickly sprankled some water in my face, looked at the mirror and decided 'Ah what the hell, ain't worth it'. I walked outside with my half awake head and heard Julie sigh in disapproval. 'It'll have to do. Lets go.'

Hallway, turn, hallway, long hallway, turn, ship arrival and departure. The corridor was filled with people, mostly young men. Trainees, probaply. 'What's all the fuss about?' I asked Julie. 'That's what all the fuss' about.' She pointed towards the opening hangar doors. A Rhino flew in, touched down and opened its bay doors. Everyone grew excited by the sound of stilleto heels touching the alloyed floor. Tk. Tk. Tk. Tk.

People started to gasp at the sight of a woman stepping out of the Rhino. She looked young, in her mid twenties. She wore pitchblack sunglasses (Why you'd need that in an underground installation on an ice planet, I wouldn't know.) and had seemingly more time in her hair invested than I had. 'Oracle Karena', Julie said.
