Katherine Johnson stared up in awe at the huge ship she was standing on, The Legacy. Recovering herself she headed for the galley, it was early morning and the ship was not to be launched until late afternoon so Katherine had plenty of time to catch up with her old friend Long John Silver.
Arriving in the galley Katherine was greeted by Silver and offered a drink, which she accepted. For the next few hours Katherine sat at one of the mess halls benches while Silver prepared meals for the crew and exchanged stories over what one another had been doing in the months since they had last seen each other.
Silver had always been good to Katherine. They had known each other since Katherine was just a little girl. Silver had always severed as a comfort to Katherine and a getaway from her strict family. Yet despite Silver being the person Katherine trusted most she still never shared with him the family secret.
Jim Hawkins was frustrated. His first space voyage, which was happening all because of him and the map, and he was having to work down in the kitchen.
But when Jim was shoved down into galley by Mr Arrow he laid eyes on a beautiful young girl sitting on the bench in the kitchen. He starred at her, her brown hair flowing down past her shoulders, her greyish cream coloured skin and her large deep eyes that seemed to hold a dark secret.
Katherine noticed a boy looking at her and turned to look, he was really quiet lovely, with brown hair, a warm smile and the most wonderful eyes.
Jim disliked Silver instantly, there was defiantly something wrong with him, it couldn't be just chance that a cyborg turns up right after Jim was warned about one. But he never he suspected the dangers of Katherine.
"Hey" said Jim.
"Err, hi" replied Katherine.
"What's your name?"
"Katherine Johnson."
"I'm Jim Hawkins."
"And I doctor Dilbert Doppler, funder of this voyage."
"Pleasure to meet you." Katherine smiled, trying very hard not to giggle at the doctor's ridiculous suit.
"Miss Johnson, may I remind you that your post is up on deck, the boy's is down here."
"Of course sorry sir."
Mr Arrow led the doctor away, and Katherine slowly trailed behind them.
"What's with the suit?" asked Katherine as she past Jim.
"I honestly don't know" laughed Jim "I'd better get over there." He nodded to the kitchen where Silver was back to cooking.
"Yeah, me up there." She flicked her eyes upwards. "Guess I'll see you around, Jim."
"Yeah, see ya."
