How about I show you why I am the best, huh buster?!"</span><br/><br/>While Major Tom's words had made Ernest feel a bit ashamed of himself, Karra's had down right scared him. Captain Micheals was not a woman to trifle with, despite her delicate seeming demeanor. He decided to admit defeat, quickly muttering out an apology and slinking into his seat. He knew that Captain Micheals would not give idle threats, and he was sure that if he even tried to protect himself that Major Tom would hand him his ass directly. The two pilots were very formidable indeed, and he was simply a professor. <br/><br/>Ernest had been surprised by the strange gun, jumping at the same time as Karra had. He marveled at the destruction of the tree and turned back to face Tom and Karra, <span style="color: #80BF00">"What in heavens!?"</span> His question was answered by Tom's own surprised exclamation, <span style="color: #FF8000">"Wow! A plasma weapon?"</span> Ernest leaned back into his seat with a whistle, <span style="color: #80BF00">"Boy, the damage that thing can do."</span> <br/><br/>Before Ernest could really think on it, attention was drawn to the tied up woman. She seemed to have been trying to avoid notice, but Tom's training had clearly out done the woman. Ernest watched as the rather enchanting woman opened her eyes. He could see calculation in her deep, dark blue eyes. She was clearly very intelligent and, as he followed her gaze, she was very interested in Karra. Strange.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF8000">"I say, what sort of uncivilized brutes are you? Landing in my territory and attacking me? I've never heard of such customs!"</span> Ernest had to admit, he had never heard a sweeter voice than this woman's, but something felt quite off about the whole situation. Her lands? Was she some sort of diplomat?</div>
