It's dangerous to go alone [Open; Post-SHODAN]

[seasindorei.livejournal.com]

The latest disaster aboard the good ship Stacy had been a reminder to Ter'thelas that the whole damned expedition was likely doomed to failure. He'd lost no abilities, unlike a good portion of the ship's crew, and so had simply laid low in the city, occasionally cracking a robotic opponent over the head or blasting it into pieces with a firearm. At the same time, it seemed that it might be time for him to consider alternatives to traipsing along on this haphazard expedition.

He had a small pad of paper and a pencil and was scratching out a list that read:

Staying on the ship.

Pros:

• Security
• Karis
• the satisfaction of fighting another damned war for the greater good
• possible return home.

Cons:

• Constantly harried by Ohm
• lunatics popping out of the ship on a regular basis
• not in command of own fate
• death by any number of unpleasant methods

Leaving the ship.

Pros:

• Security from lunatics
• nice quiet life (hopefully)
• getting away from the damned madness

Cons:

No Karis

alone on a strange world (again)

And this is where he'd left it. It was hardly a complete list, but he was working on it, pacing back and forth in front of the massive view ports of the space bridge and enjoying the still disorienting view. Perhaps he'd seek counsel from some of the other members of the crew, if they happened along. He sighed and leaned against the wall, reading over his list again.

Would he be able to do it?

"Problem?"

It was simple enough to read him the moment she came into sight of him. Alendian threw back the hood of her cloak out of respect. No self decent Eldar would be rude during a conversation with something of a kinsman. Though, if he were Eldar, she wouldn't have to ask since she would be able to sense it but that wasn't the case here.

Howard's the nosy sort, which is why he walks right up to Ter'thelas and peeks at the paper. "Seriously? You left off that most of the places where Stacy drops us off have some kind of killer animal out there."
