Moira Ryder walked through the halls of the Hyperion, all around her and her twin the crew rushed from place to place. It was the final push of prep, the launch was in two days, but the last of the sleepers were going in today. Matthias walked beside her, looking uncomfortable in the cryo outfit that was a horrible blue and white skin suit. They entered the cryo bay and found to their surprise a strange pair of guests, their bosses had shown up still in their enviro suits.
{Ah, good your are here lad and lass, was being to think you got lost or something.} Demo called, Eris looked up from the pods she was adjusting to wave.
{Good, now time to drug you and do thing to you in your sleep!} Eris tease, Moira laughed while Matthias rolled his eyes.
"Ah, my dear lady, I will miss your lovely self!" Moira's British accent coming through, Matthias looked at Lexi and shrugged.
"Moira, can you stop flirting with out bosses for three seconds, you useless gay twit?" Matthias begged, Moira laughed at that comment.
"Don't me nothing by it, besides she's married 'member." Moira countered and Eris smirked, gesturing for the twins to climb into the pods.
Moira glanced at Demo. "Did you take care of what I asked for?" She whispered, Demo smiled gently.
{I made sure it was done, not that you had to worry their pod way already reserved sometime ago. The pod has already been loaded, you could have just call her mother.} Demo told her, Moira scowled at him.
"I don't think that would have been wise, you know how it ended." Moira snapped and Demo nodded, Moira climbed into the pods without another word.
{Fair well Angels, guide our people to their new home.} Eris intone, using the nickname the asari gave them years ago.
"Well, it has been a pleasure sir and ma'am, thank you for your help." Matthias thanked, before the drugs took effect and the Ryder twins drifted to sleep.
(634 years later)
The quiet of the cyro area was broken by a sudden hiss of air, as the cyro pod's seal broke and the pressure escaped outwards. Moira Ryder bolted up right panting, as Lexi came forward to calm the startled woman. With every lungful of air the woman calmed, in a few moments the biotic was calmed and focused, looking around her she smiled widely.
"Well mate we're here, can I get a kiss to wake me up?" Moira flirted shamelessly to Lexi, who rolled her eyes.
"I don't date patients remember?" Lexi smiled at flirting though, Moira smiled back.
"I know can't blame a girl for trying, oh well lets go see about some new clothes! I need to change, I mean I have been wearing the same thing for six hundred years!" Moira's tone was of exaggerated horror.
"Shopping will have to wait, you father wants you mission ready in the hour." Lexi informed her, Moira's expression turned dark quick.
"Figured that old twat would ruin my fun, well lets get this over with and then get my brother up and moving." Moira suddenly jumped up, only to nearly face plant before being saved by Lexi.
"My hero, My lady I owe you my life." Moira joked, Lexi smiled indulgently at the woman.
"Let's go get you some coffee, then maybe you will stop flirting with everything that moves." Lexi suggested, Moira laughed and followed the asari.
"I only flirt with the loveliest creatures, and only asari. But I will stop if you prefer, you know I mean nothing by it mate." Moira explained as they walked, Lexi laughed lightly.
"I know, just tone it down a bit." Lexi requested.
Moira had just finished her coffee and medical check up when the ship suddenly lurched, alarms began blaring loudly seconds before gravity was lost. Moira at once used her biotics to hold herself and Lexi to the deck, throwing out a barrier to hold back any debris. She saw Matthias's pod starting to moved and quickly pulled in into her barrier and held it in place, as Cora floated into the room to restore Gravity.
"Moira, we need to move! Pathfinder has ordered you and me to the bridge along with your brother!" Cora ordered, once gravity was restored.
"Well mate that is a bit of a problem, my darling brother is still asleep." Moira responded, as Lexi checked over the pod.
"Go by the time you return from your mission Matthias will be up and about!" Lexi ordered them, already beginning the procedure to awaken Matthias.
Moira nodded and the followed Cora out of the bay, they stopped to help the crew deal with a power surge. After the surge was dealt with they entered the tram and headed for the bridge, the ride was quiet each woman buried in her own thoughts. The tram arrived at the station, it was a quick jog to the bridge. The doors opened to a scene that had Moira debating whether she was really awake yet, the thing that snapped her out of her stunned silence was the sharp barking voice of her father.
"What is going on?" He father demanded, only to have the captain tell him off.
The bridge had people rushing back and forth, trying to give read out or put out fires, both figuratively and literally. Moira swore one man's hair was singed and had glowing coals in it still, but the man was bent over a console calling out readings so Moira left him to it. they found out that the ARK had hit some kind of energy cloud, and that the sensors had been fried by it. her father barely glanced at her, only to dart back and glare at her.
"Where is your brother, I ordered the pair of you to be here." Moira's hackles rose, she had a very tense relationship with her father.
"Sort of hard for him to be here, when is still in his pod. We're lucky that I was able to stop his pod from trying to take flying lessons, and getting itself all buggered." Moira snapped, Alec Ryder's expression softened for a moment.
"I am sure he will be fine, both of you are fighters like your mother." With that he turned and began debating with the captain, Cora placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"All right, go gear up, planet fall in thirty." Alec barked, Moira and Cora saluted and jogged for the ready room.
"Well, at least it is not boring!" Moira joked, as they jogged to the tram.
"Yes, heaven forbid it be boring." Cora joked, as the boarded the tram.
