When I got back to duty, I was still sweating. That doctor…he was smarter than he truly looked; of course, it was also possible that he was just plainlucky as well. I sighed and checked around the deck. It was coming to the later part of the day, but we were still in the bright light of the sun Gregnax.

Captain Amelia came up to me about an hour after that, we were beginning to come into range of the inhabited planet of Nipent, but there are strict rules about the closest distance a passing ship can get to it because it is very primitive and any outside interference could alter the evolutionary process.

"So Robethian…do you remember the closest distance we can pass at?"

I grinned and pulled up my memories of the Academy, "Eighty thousand hifimeters Captain."

"Very good," she leaned against the rail in a very casual manner, "So what do you want to be a Captain for…Naval or Trade?"

I kept my stance very rigid; she was testing me even in the nonverbal sense. One of the things taught at Academy was to always keep in a proper manner when addressing the Captain or anyone on the ship that is above or bellow your rank. "I'm not quite sure Ma'am, though I was thinking of becoming a bounty hunter."

She raised one thin eyebrow at that but said nothing opposing my comment, "And what ships have you served on before?"

"Many Captain, U.S.L. Ylvski, M.R.S. Handeklin, and the I.O.S. Mitchilin to name a few. I've had the honor of serving under Captain Johansen of the H.N. Entrance as well."

"That man? I went to Academy with him, he was never quite sane." I stifled a laugh and kept my face straight, but I could feel my eyelids turning up in amusement. "So who were your parents? You told me you were born on a primitive planet…"

"My parents deserted me as a child." That answer I kept clearly out of the humor category, it was no laughing matter.

Her eyes softened, "For that I offer my condolences, please carry on Ms. Robethian." Amelia left with a swish of her tailcoat and I was left with the hairs standing up on my neck. No one has ever known my true past, and I plan on no one knowing it until I die.

My duty was relieved by Arrow, and he quizzed me a little before I went below deck. All the questioning was in good heart, all the graduating midshipmen are told of a horrifically hard test they have to pass before getting into Lieutenant Academy.I almost headed straight to bed, but I was craving something salty and crunchy so I headed to the galley, where Silver was deep amidst telling the tale of Objaw. Everyone has heard that story before, but he truly knew it well and was using his bionic arm to tell the part of the giant space serpent.

With a bag of salt under my arm, I started heading back to my lodging and tripped over the landlubber, Hawkins. He apologized using the word "Ma'am" and helped me up before beginning to clean up his steaming cup of purp juice. I had to feel bad at that; it was my fault after all…oh well.

I headed to my quarters and opened the bag of salt and put a little on my tongue, enjoying the acidic taste of the granular seasoning. I shivered in delight and put a little more on; I reached into my bag and pulled out a Treasure Island, it was entitled in a language that none aboard this ship would be able to read.

"The appearance of the island when I came on deck the next morning was altogether changed. Although the breeze had now utterly failed, we had made a great deal of way during the night, and were now lying becalmed about half a mile to the south-east of the low eastern coast. Grey-coloured woods covered a large part of the surface. This even tint was indeed broken up by the streaks of yellow sandbreak in the lower lands, and by many tall trees of the pine family, out-topping the others- some singly, some in clumps; but the general colouring was uniform and sad.

"The hills ran up clear above the vegetation in spires of naked rock. All were strangely shaped, and the Spyglass, which was by three or four hundred feet the tallest on the island, was likewise the strangest in configuration, running up sheer from almost every side, and then suddenly cut off at the top like a pedestal to put a statue on."

My mind was churning as I recalled my own Treasure Island, an ancient plant that could almost be compared to Degobah. Both marshy and containing one extremely old, psychotic creature that could help out in a strange, unorthodox way. Yoda was one of them…the other simply made me cringe.

I started reading the next passage, but my eyes were tired and I fell asleep with my hand still holding the book to my nose and my light still flickering from the top of my cabin.

I woke later with the lamp light nearly burnt out, and yawned at the shadows on my walls, checking my watch, I realized that we should be passing through the shadow of a planet and noticed that there was no light creeping through the cracks in the boards above my head. I still had about twenty minutes until I could sneak in the galley and bully Silver out of an early meal.

My thoughts began to wander to my past life, and a familiar face came to mind, one of a young man with brown eyes and spiked, black hair, and yet that was pushed aside and another image popped up. Long ellagant ears like a great cat's, sharp, sparkling green eyes with slitted pupils, and above all else, a want to be free.

Ah...Irwin and Rudiff, two to whom I had given my heart and then had it broken off. One disappeared to an unreachable destination, the other killed before my eyes. I blinked, shoving the faces from my consciousness and returned my thoughts to the Legacy, it was the most important thing in the immediate future. Slowly, I pulled my tights, stockings, and pants on, followed by my shirt, jacket, belt, and boots; I completed the look with my funny hat.

Then,I followed this with the things I usually wore when suspecting a mutiny, my wrist bands, staff(which was basically a double-headed javelin with the points capped), and my long sword-like blade. Just as I emerged onto the main deck, I realized that something was wrong. Looking ahead, I could see something that only glimpsed once before.

"Shit!"

Ok ppl, you can figure out what it is...right? Big and explody and stuff?
