It hadn't taken long for the transport tube to deposit the pair of them to the center of the city at the base of the spire that the transport tube made from floor to the ceiling far over head. The trip reminding him very much of the very same trip he had taken with Smoke not a few days past, though of course without the constant barrage of questions that came with a brass dragonlet, though of course he answered any and all questions Linsha had on the way as he took her to the train stop. Passing the multitude of different buildings once the train had arrived and gotten underway in the right direction.

That she was here, not just temporarily, but properly released, safe and sound filled him with utter relief and joy. After a short trip on the train he led her past the last bend in the river near where he had led Smoke previously, leading her just that little bit further until the walls of the palace came into view, the pair of them walking straight through the open gates and into the inner courtyard, the palace itself looking as it had last she'd likely seen it, apart from the lack any of the Guards that so regularly filled their assigned posts and filled the Barracks of the Palace, "Home again at last," He smiled warmly across to her as he opened the main door for her.

It was so nice just to sit next to him, to touch his shoulder with her own, while reading these really principal guidelines. But that shocking line immediately destroyed her peaceful mood.

Making two deep sighs, Linsha caught herself. Crucible wasn't responsible for this Stacy's idiocy - or something worse than idiocy. No need to shout now. It's better to think logically.

"Wait a little," she said in a more calm tone. "Let's call things their names. As far as I understand, people in this ship are all brought here to fight some bad guys. So, in essence, the ship is a war camp. Of course, pregnancies in a war camp are nonsense, without any Avia, Bleed and whatever terms one would call it. You fight or you bear children. All right, no question on that. But any woman with brains knows how to evade pregnancy, otherwise all these female hired swords and knights would simply always go with swelling bellies. Oh gods, I have been with many human men myself and I've never been pregnant, since I simply know how to do it - as every normal woman does. So this is all shit with this contraceptive shots - why are they called "shots", by the way? Ah, doesn't matter. No one needs to be poisoned with these. But! There's another idea. I wonder if this Stacy has a way to control everything that people do behind their doors? How else would she learn who does this terrible rule-breaking action 'in their own quarters'?"

Bight watched her calmly as she spoke, "Indeed, we have been brought here, saved it would seem to fight the Ohm," He dipped his head in response as she went on, "That may be so, however such methods are never guaranteed, I have seen many such hired swords end up with swollen bellies when they mean not to," He shook his head with a soft smile, "Even so, the rule in question applies not only to the women, but to any who might wish to engage in such acts,"

"It is likely that Stacy can view near the entire ship by one way or another, not unlike scrying magics, it is through such methods she would learn of the deed, and even if she did not observe the deed she likely has ways of determining whether one has or not after the fact," He explained with a shake of his head.

"Right." Linsha sighed. "All right, rules are to follow, not to break", she said, reminding herself that she was first and foremost a warrior and a Knight, and only then an insulted lady. "Though I wouldn't like you to be poisoned with these drugs either. But it's not for me now to reshape local rules, so for now, I think, I'll just take it into consideration, and so far, let's turn to other things at hand." Linsha stroked his hair, temple, cheek. "Crucible, you're definitely the most marvellous dragon in all the universe," she said just wishing to thank him for his patience and benevolence. "Shouldn't we return to the observation deck now? We could continue discussing things there."

"Indeed..I would not wish you trouble for such an act," He replied with a caring smile as he gave a gentle squeeze of her hand, giving a kiss to her forehead at her compliment, "And you Linsha are the most wonderful woman I've had the chance of meeting," he dipped his head after that, "Indeed, shouldn't keep them waiting too long,"

"I wouldn't wish you any trouble too," Linsha said, accepting his compliment with a smile and a light touch of lips on his cheek. She was a bit baffled that she wouldn't be able to be with her beloved at nights here. But ah well, she would find herself some place to sleep, perhaps there were some barracks or an inn. She wouldn't bother him with this now, he had a job to do, and she had a job to find. "Let's go back to the Observation Deck then. And while we're going there, please answer me just two more questions. First, what is this comm ring for, and second, who is in charge of military affairs here, so that I could present myself and join the military force?"

Bight shook his head softly it being rather clear what she was thinking, knowing though that she likely could not be convinced at this stage. Though there were many rooms and even a barracks of its own on the Palace grounds, still far enough apart if she was worried about such. Dipping his head as he stood, "Return we shall then. The comm ring is another communication device, however instead of sending text between devices as the Omnicomm does it sends a telepathic message to the intended recipient not unlike my own telepathy, though limited to those who wear the comm rings,"

"As to military matters, that would be Captain Kennedy, he is the one in charge of and oversees all military matters, he or one of his officers would be best to speak to in such matters, whether Commander Petrelli or Lieutenant Commanders Grayson and 'Vadum,"

"So, with this comm ring, I can always send a message to you, and you to me?" Linsha smiled. "A really useful thing, for I see that this ship is huge, and it would be difficult just to run searching for someone. With this ring, it saves the efforts."

"Oh thank you! Perhaps I'll be able to find any of these military officers on the Observation deck", Linsha said, standing up and going after Crucible to the palace doors. "I would prefer to join the military forces of the ship as soon as possible."

"You could indeed, or any other. The Omnicomm can also be used to contact others through text," Bight replied with a nod and a smile.

"It is unlikely that you would not be able to find at least one of them on the Observation deck at during such times and understandably so," Bight replied as walked out the palace doors with her.
