Aradia pulled her combat knife out of its holster and kept it in plain view
of anyone who tried to approach. She watched as the Hammerheads mouth
lowered, forming a ramp and a small Jeep descended from it, speeding toward
her and Mayan, none of them were holding any visible weapons that she could
see. Aradia waited.
"We received your distress call" a young man called out to Aradia, the Jeep slowed to a stop by her. "I figured that one out, can you help my friend?" Aradia asked, not bothering with pleasantries while Mayan's life was hanging in the balance. "We've got a medic back on board, were here to get your friend out safely without hurting her" he replied, looking at Mayan's ruined Gustav, "What in the hell did that much damage, it looks like a charged particle cannon did that but that's impossible". "Nothings impossible, only improbable, now help my friend" Aradia said watching the young man get out of the Jeep. "My names Thor and your friend is going to be ok" Thor said, his blue eyes full of sympathy as he ruffled his blonde hair nervously. Aradia nodded, "Good, I'll be in your ships infirmary with Mayan." As Aradia walked off she swore she had heard him mutter under is breath, "That's one cold fish I'm dying to thaw". Aradia smiled and kept on walking towards the Hammerhead.
Aradia finally arrived at the Hammerheads ramp, having long since been passed by the Jeep with Mayan in it Aradia entered the Zoid and walked along its silver metal hallways to the sterile room marked 'Infirmary'. There on a bed in the far corner lay Mayan, covered in bandages, computers monitoring her vital signs. "Oh Mayan I hope your alright" Aradia said to no one but herself, feeling a tear escape down her face for the second time that day. She quickly dried her tears when she heard the sound of footsteps behind her and steeled her face to become impassive. Aradia spun around to be greeted by the sight of Thor.
"You don't need to hide behind your fortress you know" Thor said cryptically. "I have no idea what you're talking about" Aradia replied coolly. "Hiding your emotions away, you don't have to" Thor said in a comforting voice, Aradia felt like crying again. "And if I don't then people will try to use those emotions against me" as Aradia said this she noted the slight wobble in her tone. "Maybe, but I still would rather show my emotions than be ashamed of them" Thor said before leaving the room. Aradia continued to watch Mayan's monitors.
