Just now, Channelknight Fadran said:

"So what exactly... are you?" Ayia asked.

"That is hard to explain. I was a human. Part of an order pursuing a... certain magic. But then, I became an anomaly to them. A Variance, if you will. So they killed me. That wasn't quite enough, clearly." They had come into full focus now, though they still had that odd quality in their vision.

[Szeth Pancakes he/they]

“Why did they kill you?” 50,000 meters.

“Why did they kill you?” 50,000 meters.

"Like I said, I was an anomaly. That threatened them."

[Channelknight Fadran]

"What kind of magic were you practicing?"

[Szeth Pancakes he/they]

“But how did that threaten them? And what made you into an anomaly in the first place?” 70,000 meters.

Their form fuzzed momentarily, and the blood that had been in their eyes fell to the ground. "These things... are still hard to speak of. Truthfully, there are some things that I would rather not answer as well. About my past."

[Szeth Pancakes he/they]

“I… understand.” Allera sighed. “I know how you feel.” 100,000 meters.

[Channelknight Fadran]

"Aye, I get that."

"So, what now? What exactly is our goal?"

[Channelknight Fadran]

Ayia shrugged. "I dunno. You're the one insisting we get off the planet."

[Szeth Pancakes he/they]

The altitude meter disappeared, and was replaced by vector readouts. Allera closed out of that, and selected a button that said “Plot a Course.”

“I can’t be seen in any major systems,” they said, still facing the control panel, “so that’s out. The Mages can read minds, so I can’t just put on a holo, either.”

[Channelknight Fadran]

"So... I take it this isn't a major system?"

[Szeth Pancakes he/they]

“Definitely not. It’s very backwater. Technically, it’s still part of the Kkhlie, but their reach doesn’t really extend this far.”

[Channelknight Fadran]

Ayia crossed her arms. "Would you care to explain why there's such a large bounty on your head?"

Variance watched silently.

[Szeth Pancakes he/they]

“My mate and I were theives, and us and our crew stole something we really shouldn’t have.

“I’m the only one of us still alive.

“Can we- can we not talk about it? Please.”

[Channelknight Fadran]

Ayia nodded, turning away. "My best friend and I were thieves too. And then we were rebels. He didn't make it either."

[Szeth Pancakes he/they]

Allera nodded, pressing some buttons on the panel. “If you get out of the system,” they said to Variance, “do you think it would help with your curse?”

A suspiciously warm ray of light exited the void of space and enters into the spaceship, bouncing between the walls for a fraction of a millisecond before losing interest, shooting back into space and, in a move rather atypical of normal light, turning to aim towards the planet below. A very short time later the light reached the surface of the planet and turned again, ricocheting off the scales of the stardragon there and briefly shining a blindingly bright light in the direction of the excited man speaking to the dragon before coming to a rest in a happy-seeming ray that could almost be mistaken for a normal stream of sunshine, if only the sun in question wasn't completely veiled in dark storm clouds.

Run-on sentences are my specialty, thank you very much.

"Not much, but it wouldn't hurt."

“Okay. I’ll jump us into deadspace. There are a few places we can go from there — we can discuss on the way.” They pressed more buttons on the panel.

"Okay." Variance's eyes, though still spilling blood, had turned from gray to a vibrant violet.

The walls of the “hideout” — which still looked like those of a cave — began to whirr softly.
