A few minutes later, Sandoval asked, "So who are you?"

"Probably the only person in this universe who wants you alive. My name is Majorkami, but you may call me Melissa."

The girl seemed quite eager to talk, and explained her sister's bishonen journey to him. "I'm trying to track her down and scare her a bit, but first I need some help."

Sandoval saw what she was getting at in a second. "You came here to catch me!"

" 'Catch' is such a vulgar word for it. In your case I prefer 'recruit'. You're much more intelligent than the average bishie. I don't want to undermine that by turning you into an object."

Her voice seemed to purr the last sentence, "We'd make good allies."

Needles to say, he was a little sceptical. "What do I get out of this?"

"For starters, you get off this ship before it blows to smithereens. And you'll be permanently out of reach of all those people who want you dead." She chuckled, "If you want, we can even and off a few of them later."

Sandoval considered his dwindling options. This seemed like the best one. "Alright. I will help you."
