As the Aladannis went into it's second jump Zack, sat in the cockpit of the Pharadine saint. Going over the last few systems check he had to do before they finally caught up with Elyandra. As he went over the systems checks Lythla broke the the harsh silence he was working in.<br/><br/><span style="color: #0000FF">"Zack? .... are you sure your okay. You may still be a lieutenant but your authority will only be in effect when their pilot Lt Jones returns to the field"</span><br/><br/>"Lyth, are you actually worried about me for once and not the Pharadine saint?" he chuckled as a low priority warning sign flashed on his screen " gah shit, lyth tool box please" as he asked a small draw opened up with his tool belt inside it.<br/><br/><span style="color: #0000FF">" ... if your upset you could affect the potential of the Pharadine saint. with it's current record it would be a major blow to the series five's reputation you know how hard it was to obtain permission for it's development"</span><br/><br/>" ... why does that not surprise me lyth. Look the Saint's gonna be fine, I'm not upset about it. so what I'll have temp authority, to be honest .. i could do with out the paper work, open up com-ray for me" the Angled rectangle on the side of the Pharadine saints head split open revealing an intricate array of com boosting antenna and scanning equipment. as it opened Zack started to fiddle with the array running diagnostics on the different sections of it.<br/><br/>"Lyth, tell me something. after all this time why are you still concerned about the saint? Though your not as bad as you used to be, it's getting old hun" he chuckled as he moved to the next section.<br/><br/>The intercom system echoed in the mech bay<span style="color: #BF0000">" Prepare for warp out in 3 minuets" </span><br/><br/>Zack gripped the Saints armour as the Aladannis bumped out of the jump. "god i hate that feeling he whispered" Lythla how ever stayed quiet about the question he asked. " come on lyth I know you. your getting back into your old habits i wanna know why, or is it that your scared of actually worrying about ME instead of this pile of bolts?"<br/><br/><span style="color: #0000FF">" I ... I don't want you to get compfortable with me. After whats happened with the Elyandra, what if worse happened to me and my data was lost. I know you just as well your not good with people"</span>Zack paused for a moment then carried on.<br/><br/>" Lyth I'd never let that happen, so don't even think it. Now help with diagnostics, the tracker system seems to have a busted antenna. Piece of crap .. why put something so delicate in this clumsy heap of scrap?!" he groaned as he began repairs. " okay hows that?"<br/><br/><span style="color: #0000FF">" running internal diagnostic ... booting tracking system .... system active .... tracking system fully operational ... retracting com-ray"</span>Lyth then shut down the Pharadine Saint leaving the cockpit open so Zack to finish up putting the tools away. As he did he stroked the weapons assist, a large rifle like scope that allowed him full control of the Targeting  systems.<br/><br/>"As long as i got you Lyth I'll be fine, log maint and finish shut down of main power. I'm getting a shower before we meet up with the Elyandra" The intercom gently went into action again.<br/><br/><span style="color: #BF0000">" preparing for final jump all units please be advised destination is a yellow alert area stand by at battle stations and await further orders."</span><br/><br/>Zack then called up the captain over the Mech bay com system "Captain Fellowes there are hostiles near the Elyandra?"<br/><br/><span style="color: #BF00FF">"No Zack, at least none are reported anyway. We're gonna take it cautiously though just incase the bastards show up" </span><br/><br/>" whats ETA sir?" he asked slightly worried he might not get that shower.<br/><br/><span style="color: #BF00FF">"36 hours kid no rush, And Zack ... get some rest your gonna need it" </span><br/><br/>And with that he continued on to his quarters taking his long awaited hot shower and gently falling asleep. With only his pants on various small scars could be seen on his torso, only small cut wounds from the previous war. he was so compfortable though he quickly nodded off whispering to Lyth " Lyth ... wake me up ...when ...we ... get .. there" and With that he was asleep.<br/><br/>((OOC: com-ray is the Abbreviation Zack and Lythla use for their Communications Array. Also ive decided to colour the different characters so it's easier to read and easier to tell who is talking))
