"We're going to the mountains. We're going to the mountains." Eyrina smiled as Norm turned to the other scientists. "You're not going to the mountains." He continued to sing, until he turned to Jake, who looked confused. "The legendary floating mountains of Pandora, heard of them?"
"Yep." Grace said as she packed up some supplies. "We're getting out of dodge. I'm not about to let Quaritch and Parker micromanage this thing. Eyrina, you packed and loaded?"
"Yep." She said, shouldering her pack.
"You should head on out and make sure Chacon has all of our equipment." The redhead flashed her a rare smile as she continued last minute checks of their equipment. Eyrina simply nodded and turned to do so. Trudy was busy yelling at Wainfleet to hurry up at doing something. The usual.
Eyrina was a little nervous, remembering the night that they'd almost kissed. She wanted to punch Norm all over again for interrupting what could have possibly been one of the best of her life. Damn, she wanted this woman badly.
"Hey, Trudy." She called as the pilot climbed out of the cockpit.
Trudy looked up, eyes momentarily darkening, no doubt remembering that night as well. "Yeah?"
"Grace wants me to run a check of the equipment."
Trudy nodded and sent Wainfleet off, waving for Eyrina to climb in. Eyrina stepped to the plane and tossed her bag inside before stepping into the copter. Trudy waited while she finished.
"Everything's in ord-"
"HEY!" Norm's head popped up in the other side door, effectively scaring the shit out of Eyrina, who lost her balance and fell backwards...directly on top of Trudy.
"Dammit Norm, what the hell?!" Eyrina quickly rolled over. "I'm so sorry Trudy."
The pilot only laughed as Eyrina pulled her back to her feet. "No harm done. Besides," she added softly. "I don't really mind being beneath you, although I do like to be on top."
Eyrina's mouth opened slightly and her breath hitched at the words.
"I got to go sign out. See you at lift off." She smirked, walking off.
"You seen my pack?" Norm asked.
"I really should kill you." Eyrina said.

The ride to Iknimaya was full of questions from Jake and Norm. Eyrina was silent for the most part, her thoughts lingering on the pilot just in front of her. Her words were heavy on her mind and Eyrina was trying her best not be turned on by it. Grace noticed her fidgeting and asked if she was alright.
"I'm fine." Eyrina assured her. She looked up and caught Trudy's eye in her mirror. The pilot winked and Eyrina rolled her eyes.
Finally they landed and disembarked the craft to head inside the new base. It took three hours to unpack all of Grace's equipment and another hour for everything else. When it was all done, Jake and Eyrina were sent through the links back to their avatar bodies for the rest of the day.

Today would be the day. Eyrina was going to have to do something about Trudy. She loved the brunette's company, they could talk for hours about flying alone and she even thought she might be falling for her, but something needed to be done about this pent up sexual frustration between them. Cooping up two attracted women in a metal box in the middle of nowhere for a month was not the best idea on Grace's part.
Thankfully, the opportunity to settle it presented itself rather quickly. Norm and Grace were in their link chambers, out exploring the mountains for plant samples in their avatars. Jake was in his own link chamber and was out with the Omaticaya. Eyrina was supposed to be in hers, but she couldn't pass up such a perfect opportunity to finally taste her fiery pilot.
Her blood felt like it was boiling in anticipation as she waited for Trudy to get detoxed and remove her mask after a supply run. She didn't expect for Eyrina to grab her and shove her against the wall, crashing their lips together.
Eyrina was melting. She felt she was burning and freezing at the same time. The taste of Trudy was indescribable and she had to taste more. Trudy moaned, pulling her closer as she kissed her neck, softly nipping the sensitive flesh. Trudy pushed them backwards into the sleeping quarters, falling into the nearest bed. Eyrina was on top of her a second later and their lips were connected once again in a heated dance as tongues and fingers came into play. Clothes were torn in their haste to get them off and finally naked flesh was allowed to touch.
"Finally." Eyrina whispered, drinking in the sight of Trudy's toned body.
"You have no idea." Trudy growled, yanking her head back down for another kiss. "Believe me baby, we're just getting start-"
"Eyrina, where are y-" Norm appeared in the doorway. His eyes nearly bugged out of his head and he quickly turned to leave.
Trudy groaned and began looking around on the floor.
"What are you looking for?" Eyrina asked.
"My gun so I can shoot his ass."
"Eyrina, did you even go into the link today?" Grace walked in then, arms crossed, not bothered at all at the sight of the two naked women.
"Um...no." She said sheepishly. "Look Grace, just give us an hour, please."
"Come on Gracie." Trudy added from beneath Eyrina.
"Don't call me that." Grace said. She glared at both women before walking back out. "Jake, Norm, get back into your link chambers or go outside for a hike or something."
"I love that bitchy redhead." Trudy said before looking up at Eyrina. "Now, where were we?"
