"Make sure to drop out a little way's away..." Ayia instructed. "Don't wanna show up in the middle of whatever it is." Which turned out to be a good call, because that place had no chill. Resurfacing from hyperspace even as far away as they did showed an absolutely massive armada of ships and stations. Probably... several hundred ships already, plus a few dozen destroyers. Ayia recognized them, which was... good? Kinda? "Okayyy, so... good news and bad news."

"I've been in jail." Ayia raised her hand. "A few times. Variance, you should do the stabby shutty thing."

^ ^ ^ ^

Aaaaaaaand there he went again with that 'prescience' crap. Ayia crossed her arms. "Airlock?"

"Now, Al... I mean, I agree, but..." Ayia held up a hand. "I'm curious as to why he wants to know all this. Other than to sell it to the wizard police, that is."

Ayia was actually a little impressed that the idiot was managing an intelligent conversation - and with Variance of all people. She watched with passive interest.

"I said shut."

"Presumably you guys'll be out of this universe by the time he gets around to that. If all else fails we can just kill 'im, though."

"No. Now shut up."

"That'd make a big mess, and this isn't my ship."

"Then shut up and keep quiet. If everything goes well we can probably drop you off somewhere eventually."

"Well, would you like to die?"

"So what we've established here is that your allies are more willing to screw us over than to keep you alive."

"I was playing you, dingslonger." Ayia crouched down to look him in the face. "I don't need or want you here. If you would like to survive, then shut up and give us some names to ransom you to. If you would not like to survive, I'm sure we can arrange a date with you and the airlock."

Ayia tapped him on the head with her staff. "The place that only just showed up a few hours ago."

“Mhm. The place I haven’t even specified yet.”

“Okay. You can tell us the layout and security, and we not kill you.”

"You ever been in there?"
