Chapter One:

Cryia blinked blearily at the phone that she had in her hand. Surely she didn't hear what she thought she did.

"You want me to what?"

"You heard me."

Cryia sighed as she scrubbed her hand across her face and sat up in bed. "You want me to lead a bunch of dumbasses across an area that is extremely remote just because they can't wait for you to properly to train them. And let's not forget that it's the one corporation that I can't really fucking stand."

"Pretty much."

"Lex, I haven't been on the ice in at least two seasons maybe more. I can't exactly remember."

"Maybe so, but I know that you can do it. If anyone can bring these people back it's you."

Cryia sighed at Lex's logic. "Fine but you owe me. Do the asstards know that you called me in?"

"Not yet."

"Go let them know that I'll do it. Will you be there when I get there?"

"No. They want me gone pretty soon. They don't like the fact that I didn't go along with their plans."

The girl snorted. "And what makes you think that they will like me? I can't stand corporations and from what you tell me about this Maxwell Stafford then I'm probably going to rearrange his damn face for him."

She heard her long term friend giggle. "I know. Wish I could be here to see it."

Sigh. "Alright. I'll call you when I get there. You owe me."

"I know and thanks Cryia. I can rest easier knowing that you're going to be the one leading them." With that Lex disconnected.

Cryia sighed as she hung up her cell. Only Lex would be able to get her to agree with something as stupid as this. Even Cryia, as crazy as she was, was not willing to do this and if it had been anyone but her long time friend asking her then she would have told them to stuff it and let it slip from her mind. And really, if hadn't been for the disturbing dreams that the girl had been having then she would have probably told Lex the same thing. The problem was Cryia knew that if she had not taken the job then Lex would have felt obligated to. Damn her and her conscience.

Flipping on the lamp beside her bed, Cryia stood and stetched, smiling when she felt back pop back into place. With a yawn, the obsidian haired girl stumbled into the bathroom to take a quick shower. As she let the hot water beat across her back and wake her up, the girl thought about what she had to do to be ready for leave. Thankfully, her gear and everything and already been packed the night before since she was finished with the area. It also shouldn't take her long to get to Antarctica since she was currently on the southern tip of South America. She had been exploring the jungle around the area and leading a scientist through the dangerous undergrowth. Just some quick cash in her pocket while looking around for the next great adventure. Before Lex had called she had actually been considering going back into being a bodyguard or some thing like that. For some reason she had bee craving a fight.

Shaking the thoughts from her mind, Cryia turned off the water. Wrapping a towel around her lithe body, the girl strolled into her room and grabbed the clothes that she had set out for in the morning. They were for more warmer climates but they would have to do for now until she could get there and see if she could piece together a warmer outfit. As she thought this, Cryia caught sight of the screen glowing on her cell. Grabbing it, she frowned when she read that Lex wanted her to call her. What had happened?

Cryia nibbled on her lip worriedly as she grabbed her phone. When Lex answered, the worried woman didn't give her time to talk before opening her mouth. "What's wrong? Did some thing happen?"

Pause. "Are you ok Cryia?"

The mentioned girl quietly let out the breath that she had been holding. "Yeah I'm good. Was just thinking that some thing might have happened or they told you what a stupid idea that this was." She frowned at the laugh that she heard come from the other side of the line.

"No, no, no. Every thing is ok. In fact Weyland seemed happy that you had decided to take my spot. I don't think that he was as confident about the replacement as he was trying to seem to be."

Snort. "Of course. If he was as worried as he seemed to be then why the hell was he going to try and go through the crazy plan?"

"I think that he was trying to guilt me into coming. No one in my business connections and stuff really know about you. So when I talked to him he seemed really relieved that I had found some one as good as I was to replace me."

"Oh joy. They are happy that I'm coming. This is going to be the highlight of my life."

"Is that sarcasm I hear?"

"From moi? Of course not. I've never been sarcastic in me life."

"I'm so glad that you're not that puppet from that cartoon movie."

"Whatever. How am I getting there?"

"They have already sent a chopper out to get you. Weyland said just wait in your room and some one will come and escort you to it."

"Yay."

"Because they only have one chopper at the moment I will be here when you land but I will have to leave not long after you are settled."

"Great the only bright side of this whole fucked up plan of yours that I'm going along with."

"Don't be that way. It'll be fine. You'll see. I'll see you when you get here. Bye." Lex hung up before Cryia could even open her mouth to respond.

Cryia stared at her cell for a moment before sighing and closing it. It seemed that she was going through with it no matter what she thought. The woman looked around the room before sitting down on her bed and settled in for a long wait on the ride to her destiny.

DR: Sorry about the length of this chapter but I went blank like half way through and I couldn't pick up where I was going with no matter how hard I tried. Next chapter will be better. Hopefully. Please review!
