Tombstone Estate

[Midori]

She began her trip from home in her gunship to visit her parents on Honshu. Sleeping in an infant seat was Emiko, the Holliday's now 4 month old daughter. On this trip, it was just the two of them.
Midori was in a good mood and singing soft songs to herself as she flew.

Omega 49 was quiet as she made the jump into Omega 47. She set the ship on auto pilot while she flew between jump holes. She made her way to the galley to pour a glass of Gallic Wine for herself. She loved Gallic Wine and always had some around. She was lavishing the wine before she had to put it down to navigate the rocks of Omega 47 just before the Omega 41 hole and then the rocks of Omega 41 itself.

She quietly navigated the rocks and mines, hearing only chatter of a Corsair pirate threatening a passing trader. She said nothing and continued as small rocks repelled off of her ship before finally making the jump into Omicron Theta.

As she went to engage her cruise engine, she heard only a thumping sound each time she tried. The system would not engage.
"Well just damn!" she cursed. But before panic set in, she noticed Corfu Base within visual. Still having her impulse engines, she made her way there and landed. Through it all, Emiko remained asleep. The staff of the base took her in and gave her and her child shelter.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Holliday, but it seems you blew a coupling which is weird since they never blow out," the technician explained, "I've sent to Lividia shipyard for a new set. I'm sorry but your stuck here for a day or so but we'll make you comfortable."

Her quarters were nice that she stayed in and both her and Emiko were well provisioned. She slipped into her kibuki night gown and before she went to bed, sent a transmission to her husband.

John Henry, it seems I have blown engine coupling on my ship and will be here at Corfu for a couple of days. Worry not. Emiko and I will be fine here while we wait. I see you soon and John, I love you.
