Well she was going to get surprised a lot then. And don't worry Zetta, she expected none of those.

"Eh don't worry. I think I've got my dumb lesson out of all of this. I'll just punch the Ohm extra hard in their faces the next time I see them, and not just explode a whole neoneotank." Her tone was getting better as she talked. For all the anger and unemotional she had been a few hours ago, she really didn't like feeling that way for too long either.

Besides, Zetta had said it best.

"Anyway! I'm tired of having this stupid nagging feeling, so I decided, the hell with it!" You could thank your language, Zetta, for Lash swearing a lot more than before. "I'm gonna skip out the next poddrop," she told him. "I showed Billy and Zou a few pictures of people I would actually be interested in seeing again, and I'm just not gonna bother going there each time hoping someone I know comes out. If they do, they can just find me instead. There's way more fun things to do during that time." A pause, then one of her tell-tale grins. "Especially since almost everyone is waiting there, making everything else on the ship relatively empty."

The chaos and the things they could do during that time!
