[ She really bothered asking at all? Now that's refreshing. ]

< Just don't take the kitchen sink. Anything else is fair game, as far as I care. >

[ He had no doubt the compound was full of United Earth goodies, even if they wouldn't be anything he himself could understand. ]

[gamora]

[ Confirmation, really. She was going to do it anyway. ]

Good to know.

[ Ah ha. Gamora grins when there's another whirring motion as the door in the hull slides open - abandoning the controls for picking the best weapons off the guards she's killed. ]

This is too easy - there's a trap somewhere.

[ At least her pessimism comes in handy. ]

[commentboxtroll]

Doubt it.

[ This time Caesar's voice is actually, physically in the same area, because he's meandering on in now, making sure to pick his way over dead bodies carefully. ]

The United Earth barely even considers the Initiative a threat on bad days and beyond them, there's no one else to oppose them. Why trap something against no one at all?

[gamora]

[ Gamora just expects him to catch up as she sheathes her sword, shoving a few guns into her belt before kicking over another dead body. ]

Because that's how the universe works.

[ Her universe, anyway. ]

[commentboxtroll]

Sounds like a paranoid universe.

[ Now if they had fought a load-bearing boss, then he'd be worried, but this? Nah. ]

So, this ship. Are you sure you can fly it?

[gamora]

You get used to it trying to kill you after a while.

[ One of her hands goes to brush the hull as she climbs up into the ship. ]

So long as it's been designed for someone bipedal to pilot it? Yes.

[commentboxtroll]

Better hope they weren't training a dog as a pilot, then.

[ He follows after for a bit, but hesitates when she goes to climb up into the ship. He's never seen one of these up close before, or even at all before he spotted it in the compound from a distance. He's nnnnot so sure about it, safe to say. ]

Uh, so, are these safe to just walk right into?

[gamora]

They're only good as telepaths and heads of security.

[ Gamora's not certain how well Cosmo would have done with piloting a ship. Nothing she'd want to see - that much was certain. ]

You're the one that's not worried about traps.

[ AKA yes, they're fine, get over it Caesar. ]

[commentboxtroll]

Heads of security. That's almost as bad as the basket dogs.

[ Tiny shiba inus are no way to guard a castle! ]

Well, yeah, traps, but... [ Ughhh, fine. He hesitantly climbs up into the ship after her. ] This thing is bigger than I expected it to be.

[gamora]

I've seen bigger. Except most have windows.

[ Which is... weird. ]
