The fate of King Kong cabal

[Yaoquizque]

Josh sighed when he heard Chris's answer. He then moved back in the small cabin to inform the others they were about to be tractored.

They looked relieved, happy even. Josh was sharing their relief, but he had concerns bothering him as well.
After a short while, the pod's airlock opened.

Sheelah curiously sticked her head out of the pod and smiled when she saw the crew men. "Hey..." She looked back "Looks like we're saved! I stopped to hope so.."

The five survivors walked out of the pod.
Josh looked at Sheelah and Katelinn. The two ladies soon sat on the ground and started to discuss about trivial things. A way to let the tension go away, he guessed.
Lao was looking around, obviously trying to identify the origin of the tech used on this ship.

Magoun's was leafing through his book, certainly trying to find a passsage fitting the circumstance.

Josh would have enjoyed to stay with them a bit, however he had to see Chris.
He moved to a crew member and bowed "Kallisti. My name is Josh the Dill. Thanks for your help gentlemen." He smiled "I have a request however. I would like to see your captain as soon as possible; Mr. DeGarmo, that is"

The man nodded "Actually, he wants to see you too. I will escort you to the bridge, if you like."
"Much appreciated. Please give me a few seconds however" He turned back "Friends, i must see Chris. Stay here, or wherever our hosts wish you to stay." He grinned timidly "Oh... And please don't mess around too much. Thanks. I will be back soon." He waved at them and followed the crew member...

Josh entered in the bridge and noticed a man with long hairs. "That must be the infamous guitarist" he thought.
He seemed to be absorbed by his task, so Josh stepped there and waited a few seconds.

"Ahem. Kallisti, Mr. DeGarmo" he said with a grin after a while. "Thank you for rescuing us"
Josh then made a somewhat embarrassed face "Erm... Apologies for the smell. I believe we didn't take a real shower since two weeks."
