> What? What am I saying? Oh, what am I saying? I regret coming on
this ship. But it's too late now. Far, too late.
> I wonder who I'll be sharing my room with. Whoever they are, they
must be out drinking at the bar or something.
> Better get some sleep.

Amber grouched down the corridors twards her quarters with a look on
her face that could kill an elephant dead at twenty paces. She marched
into the turbolift and sat down, still angry with Captain Calvert. She
was furious that she had to go to New France rather than staying with
her mother whilst she was ill. She stood up and began to pace around
the lift, feeling much like a trapped animal in the small space. The
only thing that consoled her was the thought that she would be getting
to fly. She thought on this for a moment longer and then realised that
Jay would not let her fly the Vespidae down to the surface, as it was
a Hymenopterra ship and far too obvious. This made Amber mmore angry
and she stormed out of the turbo-lift and down the hall to her room.
She walked through the sliding doors and into her room. Se turned on
the lights and threw her long jacket onto the unoccupied lowerbunk as
usual. The coat squirmed. Amber, who had seen it out of the corner of
her eye, had a gun trained on the coat that had squirmed in a few
miliseconds, her GELF senses used to the full. The coat moaned.
"Waht the smeg?" Amber said, kicking the coat to the floor and glaring
at what she saw underneath. "What the smeg are you doing in my
quarters?!" She yelled at the newcomer. Mel, who had been very much
asleep was equally suprised to the the angry form of Amber looming
over her pointing a gun at her head.
"Wha?! These are my quarters" She said, the sleep falling away and
being replaced by fear quite quickly.
"Holly. Who is this? What is she doing here in my quarters?!" Amber
barked at the dense AI.
"Oh yeah, Amber. You have a new room-mate. I forgot, sorry." The
balding AI said, quickly disapearing before Amber could launch
something at the monitor. Amber growled and then sighed, holstering
her gun.
"Fine. I'm Lieutenant Amber Keats, I live here. I'm a pilot. I was
also recently diagnosed as criminally insane. I was thrown in prison
and now i'm better. I have to get ready to join the Forrign Legion
now. Captain Calgon has ordered everyone to join up. Are you coming?
The skutters should have left uniforms for us around here somewhere."
Amber said, mentally calming herself slightly so that she didn't seem
asintimidating to the newcomer.
