Old Acquaintances and lost friends

[Bazza]

Evangeline presses a button within the freighter and the platform suddenly jerks upwards. The chain links on the four corners retract into the belly of the ship, each winding into their respective holsters with a metallic, repetitive clunk as each link rides over the teeth of the cogs.

Once fully raised, the platform again jerks to a sudden stop as the airtight seals surrounding it lock shut.

Evangeline, standing beside the platform within the cargo hold, carries a small control box whose wires run to the gear drive for the platforms' lifting chains.

She motions to Sev to step off the elevator.
