Even when a fire is contained quickly, the protocols are followed, capitalizing on every opportunity to train. Aren followed Sanctity down the main corridor, and he was trailed by Isometre and the others. Their small procession joined a steady stream of women exiting their rooms or workspaces and following the glowing lines stretching before them. Sanctity followed the dark blue line on the ground the AI had assigned them, but it wasn\u2019t going towards the escape pods, Aren saw, but towards the dining facility, and he sighed with relief.<\/p>\n

\u201cLockdown protocol for an onboard fire is seven hours,\u201d Sanctity turned a crooked smile on him when she heard the sigh. \u201cAnd we\u2019re subject to forced assembly until it\u2019s lifted. They think to delay your duty, Lord Aren, but they mistake my determination.\u201d \u201cBut if we\u2019re stuck in the defac with hundreds of others\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always enjoyed having an audience,\u201d Aren almost stumbled at how close Isometre\u2019s voice was. The tall afrik was within arm\u2019s reach behind him and her light brown eyes grew determined as they met Sanctity\u2019s. \u201cThey will sabotage nothing. Let the girls go later. I will\u2026\u201d she swallowed hard. \u201cI will have my time with Lord Aren in front of-.\u201d \u201cNo,\u201d the tiny cook spoke for the first time. \u201cIt will be me.\u201d \u201cWhat will be her?\u201d<\/p>\n

Aren\u2019s question was soft enough that it only reached Sanctity\u2019s ears, but the blonde didn\u2019t answer. Her smile grew as she took in the raven-haired young woman, and she nodded slowly.<\/p>\n

tarlight was all Aren could see by when he rose out of the captain\u2019s bed. The tall woman grumbled when he disentangled his limbs from hers, and she rolled back over into the covers, but the First Officer rose with him. Elishta Ramos drew a thin robe about herself as he dressed and poured a steaming cup of coffee for herself. Aren was ready for things to be awkward as he made his exit, but the dark-haired woman brushed a kiss against his cheek and gave him a wink when he cast a final glance back at the captain.<\/p>\n

\u201cZera isn\u2019t a morning person,\u201d her lips quirked into a smirk. \u201cThe breeding is complete, but I know she\u2019ll want a\u2026 follow up. Think you can fit us into your busy schedule?\u201d \u201cEvery day and twice on Sunday,\u201d he said with a grin. She gave a knowing smile before tugging her robe more tightly about herself and letting it conform to her slender body. \u201cMake sure you get some rest. Your days are going to be very\u2026<\/p>\n

busy,\u201d with a final wink she slipped back into the captain\u2019s stateroom and Aren was left to find his own way back to his rooms. He didn\u2019t know what to expect in the coming days, but this first one had been a shock. When Aren woke that morning, he never dreamt he\u2019d find himself aboard the Deucalion on a mission to leave the galaxy. The thought of venturing into the dark between galaxies was terrifying. They would be without support. No chance another ship could come and rescue them if there were engine trouble or a hull breach.<\/p>\n

A thousand things could go wrong during the years they would spend crossing the void, but he had to trust the engineers. The officers\u2019 quarters had a door guard posted but she lounged in a chair, reading from her datapad. She glanced up lazily when Aren approached and gave a start of surprise when she noticed the young man. Scrambling to her feet the tall, slender woman snapped a crisp salute. \u201cMy lord!\u201d \u201cDon\u2019t call me that,\u201d Aren hunched his shoulders in, glancing around at her sharp words but the halls were empty this late in the night.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not a noble-born on any world, why does everyone keep calling me that?\u201d \u201cYou are our lord, sir,\u201d her pretty face softened in confusion. \u201cYou\u2019re the only masculine authority aboard. Who else could we turn to?\u201d \u201cRight,\u201d Aren said, He blushed at the reminder and hurried past the tall woman who still held her salute. Only as he was passing her did he realize that the rank assigned to him by the captain put him above her and many of the women aboard. Returning her salute, the woman relaxed, but he saw her building up her courage to speak again and hurried around a corner before she could waylay him.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
