He had been leaning against the edge of the transport, apparently asleep, but he was the first to spot Ama lurking in the shadows. He sighed in frustration, and sent a command to go, and prep to avoid anti-air. The transport lifted off the ground a couple inches, the last guards jumping on, and began humming slowly upwards, pausing at about chest height, letting Ama jump in. He gave her a bland look, before pointing to the seats. "Strap in, I will be more cordial later. Right now, I have to determine if Barid is going to blast us out of the sky for that crystal."<br/><br/>He sent an all clear to the drone program running the transport, which sealed the main hatch, and began sedately rising toward the stars, heading to clear the anti-portal fields. It didn't have defenses up, but it did have them on a hair trigger, and was ready to put full power to the engines in a pico-second. He simply took his seat, the straps wrapping themselves around him, and he leaned back, putting his attention to the drone, rather than his wife. No sense letting them get blasted this early in the game.
