Kat had winced inwardly when Eric mentioned that what happened with Riddick would have happened either way and took in a deep breath, â€œI sort of had the feeling it would have been inevitable, I just wish I had handled that situation better,â€ she said in a tone that insinuated she did not want to talk about Riddick too much. This was going to be a tough mission and she couldnâ€™t have such distractions dragging her down. Though it would be difficult she knew that she needed to keep herself together and show that she was capable of pulling the fleet out of the fire, allowing her anger to get the best of her would be unacceptable. â€œI really donâ€™t blame the captain for being worried. Just what the hell is the Gendahl fleet thinking pulling something like this?â€ She began to change the subject but then stopped herself, shaking it off for now.<br/><br/>The Gendahl fleet had been her home at one point. She wouldnâ€™t deny that this situation in general was pretty emotional for her.<br/><br/>It was nice to see that there had been food prepared once they arrived at the shuttle. Even if it was only really enough to hold them over until they reached their destination she was more than relieved and even smiled a little. Ryan had already began helping himself to it and looked over briefly to flash a small smile. She had been starving since she had fallen asleep waiting for Eric and knew that some food in her system would help make her feel better about everything. There were a lot of things on her mind as well but she kept to herself as she always did. While Eric tinkered with thing she just sat back in her seat and slowly ate her food. Judging by the look on Ryanâ€™s face they shared the same sentiments about the food given out on space ships and shuttles but it was better than nothing.<br/><br/>Both Kat and Ryan looked at the screen when Eric brought Katâ€™s attention to it. Ryan had gotten up from his seat and was now hovering over the two of them. Kat immediately took the screen out of disbelief, looking to over to make sure she heard right. â€œFantastic,â€ she growled lowly, not really sure what pissed her off more. The Gendahl fleet being unreasonable was one thing, they were always a little edgy, but the fact that Thomasâ€™s plans had succeeded even after the man had been killed was a different story. They really had a lot on their hands now, and while it was a huge relief that it had nothing to do with her she was still very much on edge. It showed pretty clear in her voice, â€œWeâ€™re going to need to tread carefully when we get there, though I doubt I have to say that twice.â€<br/><br/>â€œThe Gendahl fleet wants complete control over the military, do they?â€ Ryan spoke in a bemused tone and fought back a smile threatening to appear on his expression. â€œSince when have they been so delusional?â€ To be honest he was very out of practice when it came to being a soldier even if his state of mind said otherwise. He knew what he had to do; it was just a matter of making all the right decisions to ensure that things would go as smoothly as possible. His men were easy to boss around, the military, on the other hand, was a completely different story. He was going to need to keep his wits about him.<br/><br/>Kat sighed heavily and then handed the screen back to Eric, she kept her voice low so that not even the attendants could hear her, â€œI donâ€™t know, but something about this isnâ€™t surprisingâ€¦â€ She wanted to say more but paused again, deciding that this too much to take in at once, â€œI think it is best that we let the questions answer themselves, this is overwhelming,â€ No longer wanting to think about it too much beforehand, she figured it was just best to leave it at that and leaned back in her seat, looking out the window at the sea of stars. This really was a lot to deal with right now, never had she done something this large before, her skills were going to be pushed to their limits, and she was very worried about everyoneâ€™s safety. What if she didnâ€™t come back alive? It was a possibilityâ€¦<br/><br/>Knowing her she would probably do something stupid, placing faith that Eric would support her and stop her should she forget herself.<br/><br/>Ryan decided to take a seat closer to Eric so he could speak to him without raising his voice, â€œWhat about you, dear Eric? What are your opinions about this situation? Personally, I never thought Iâ€™d be dealing with the Gendahl fleet again, I really dislike them.â€ He gave a shrug, trying to ease the mood a bit. But then he suddenly looked at the floor, eyes narrowed, and his tone became quiet, â€œYesterday had been enough for me, if you want my honest opinionâ€¦ I wish Murdock wouldnâ€™t have placed me in charge of you two.â€
