The Call

Jaime Reyes voice sounds over the comm-rings--all of them--and it sounds very urgent.

« Everyone on the ship, listen up! This is Jaime Reyes, your local 'Blowing this pop stand' coordinator and escape facilitation engineer. I need everyone on the ship to come to the City, in front of the Precinct, immediately. Grab people who don't have their comm rings with them--and tell them to grab their comm rings, people who are sleeping, whoever you find, and try to make sure everyone on the ship knows to come. This is very important. This is "getting the heck out of here" important. »

When they arrive, they arrive to find the Command Staff waiting, and a tiny, tiny young man standing on stone ledge from a fountain, waiting for them.

Here goes nothing.

"Ummm..." Vega stands on the tips of his toes and cranes his neck to look around. "I don't know, I think I saw him... He shouldn't be hard to find because he's so tall."

Vega shrugs.

"Anyway, I've never shot a gun before. Not with my hands." He holds them out in mimicry of how he did with a pistol. "It's really, really loud! But I think I did okay."

Well, he mostly got shots going in the right direction and miiiight have hit a target a couple of times. But he's not going to let that spoil the awesome.

"Neat!" Sherry smiled at Vega widely. "I hope I'm able to go next time. If there is a next time, anyway." Sherry shrugged. She didn't really like guns, mostly because they were loud and dangerous, but knew eventually she'd have to learn to defend herself. Her parents couldn't, and wouldn't, always be there to protect her, realistically.

Sherry straightened her back and sighed. "I would like it to go on record that surgery is now the Official Worst Thing Ever."

"I could show you guys what I learned, it would be fun!" Vega nods enthusiastically. He likes having friends, he hasn't done that a whole lot before.

"That stinks," he says of the surgery. "I've never had to do that before though. I hope I never do. It doesn't sound like a whole lot of fun."

"I'd like that, Vega," Sherry agreed. So long as she didn't necessarily have to touch the guns for now, she could live with that, definitely.

Sherry pulled another face, "It isn't. They put you to sleep, and when they wake you up your head feels like it's stuffed with cotton balls and you can't keep your eyes open no matter how hard you try." It was like she'd spent her time having a staring contest with the back of her eye lids. "And it's boring. I'm glad I can be outside where there's at least some sort of people noise."
