The female stood up.
"My ship's over this way"
She pulled out her blaster and jogged in the gestured direction.
Clank stood slowly and held his head; Qwark still lay on the ground trying to catch his breath.
She stopped and turned to face them.
"Well, are you guys coming or not?"
Qwark sat up.
"I just... Need... Catch... Breath!"
And he flopped back in his original position.
The only part of the girls face that was visible through the helmet were her dark blue eyes which she was currently rolling in Qwark's direction.
Clank cocked his head to the side.
"While I do appreciate your help, may I ask why you're interested in helping two strangers?"
She put her hands on her hips.
"Well I happen to have a fuelled up ship, you two obviously need to get somewhere and I'm a nice person."
She replied shortly.
"And what may I call you by?"
"That doesn't matter now!"
She shouted shrilly.
"If Qwark doesn't hurry up, we're gonna run out of time, Nefarious could have set him loose by now!"
Her eyes widened and her hands flew over her hidden mouth; the blasted falling to the ground.
"How did you know Doctor Nefarious was involved in all of this... And who is 'he'?"
She dropped to her knees and scrambled to pick up the blaster.
"Urgh, just... don't worry, we need to get going!"
She shot up and began to jog in the direction of her ship.
Clank narrowed his optics but decided not to delve any further.
There was definitely something suspicious about that girl.
Once Clank had finally got Qwark up, they followed the girl back to her ship. It was blue and was hovering above the ground. The hatch popped open and the female jumped in the driver's side.
"She's only a two seater, but I think we'll fit."
Qwark jumped in the other side and Clank squished himself in between the two.
"Hello there, Clank."
The ship sounded.
The female furrowed her brow and hit the ship on the dash.
"Oh, erm... Sorry. I mean hello, there, strangers."
Clank narrowed his optics. He opened his mouth to speak but Qwark cut him off.
"Wow! Your ship can speak?"
The girl looked relieved at the change of subject.
"Uh, yeah, she has A.I installed... Where do you guys need to go?"
"Morbos."
Clank replied.
"Do you have the coordinates? We don't know Solana well."
The metal on Clank's hand rolled back; not unlike a garage roller door and a usb was now in its place. He inserted it in the ship's usb port and after a moment it sounded 'Coordinates to Morbos now downloaded'.
He removed his hand and it returned to its original state.
The hatch closed over and they ascended into space.
The only sound that was heard was the humming of the ship and Qwark's snoring.
Clank turned to Qwark and removed the comm-unit that was hanging out of his pocket.
"Mayor Phyronix, oh hi, Clank, how're things going?"
"Quite well, we're on our way to Morbos."
"You fixed the ship?"
"No, not exactly,"
"You hitched a ride?"
"Yes."
"Who with?"
"Well, I'm not entirely sure..."
"What do you mean you're not sure?"
"Well, I don't know who she is"
Clank looked over to the female who was concentrating on the path ahead.
"Tal."
She said.
Clank averted his attention from the comm-unit.
"Sorry?"
"Call me Tal."
A/N: I don't know. I'm not too fond of this chapter.
And it's a bit short.
Yeah...
Sorry.
But thanks for reading, please review. :3
