Daughter of Frankenstein

About half of the transport’s passengers disembarked into the shipyard’s corridors alongside Qi. The airlock door rolled closed behind them and the transport proceeded on to its next destination. Tired people stretched into the corridor, most of whom seemed to be in no particular hurry to find a destination. Qi started making his way toward the docking bay where he’d seen the Yeager when he nearly bumped into someone coming from the opposite direction.

“Commander Qi. Have you been sent here to play too?”

Qi recognized Black from her accent first. He returned her tired smile with a genuine grin of his own. He liked Black.

“Looks like it!” He said, adjusting his bag over his shoulder. “I’m guessing our new toy isn’t quite ready yet. Should we grab a coffee?”

Before the two could proceed toward the replimat, a Caitian broke through the crowd. Her purposeful walk, in contrast to the shambling crowd, caught Qi’s attention.

"Excuse me, Commander Qi? Lieutenant Black? Captain Braggins would like to see you in her office, if you'd follow me?”

Qi exchanged a glance with Black. One that said: Raincheck on that coffee, then?

“Lead the way,” Qi said, keeping his gaze low. He’d heard that excessive eye contact was considered rude in some Caitian cultures.
