The Arch Storm

[Akura]

One mind, one goal, one purpose...

Amy Masako

Amy was hidden, like a ninja. Her sister placed her in the target, ready to strike. She waited, in the cargo bay of the beast.

She opens her mind, shares her experience.

The captain offloaded the components, closing the cargobay doors and shutting off Narita from his ship. The rest of his crew were on the station, they would be back when they had arranged a deal, and collected some more supplies.

He turned on the spot and glanced over the cargo manifest again.

He didn't remember picking up this last box, unmarked too. He prised it open, empty.

***..Behind you..***

He heard no words to his ears, and turned again. A small woman was before him, perhaps a chrysanthemum, he didn't speak, her mind dictating his actions.

***..Kiss her..***

He obeyed her order, closing his eyes. Her lips met his, moments later he lost all feeling in his body, collapsing to the ground.

***..Ours now..***

The thoughts echoed in his head as he lost consciousness.

Amy had finished with him, she headed up the cargobay ladder to the cockpit. She picked up the headset and sat down at the controls, a few button presses and she was patched in.

"This is the co-pilot of the Cherry Picker, requesting permission to deactivate docking clamps" she spoke, to the control tower of Narita Outpost,

"Negative Cherry Picker, your crew is still on the station, they must board before you can leave"

***..Do it..***

The control-operator obeyed, releasing the clamps to the Cherry Picker,

"Good luck out there" he said, closing comms.

Amy broke off from the station, engaging cruise and heading back to the Arch...

<~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>

Amy has the Cherry Picker now, she moved through the captial, passing a Samura as she went.

Through the orange and purple clouds she went, arriving home to her family.

The Cherry Picker will prove useful to the family, Amy will gather the materials we need to grow and prosper. The captain will become one of us, then he will help Amy on the ship.
