"I, I don't want to wait," Montmorency said as she glanced at Louise, seemingly hoping for a response rom her as well, to backup her words in some way.
Louise nodded. "We'll go now."
"Very well," Alexandria said with a nod before she looked at the tablet in hand. "Take them, I will finish this in haste. Save as many as you can."
"This unit will do this, and more. Designates Montmorency and Louise follow quickly" Emden said as it began waling at a quickened pace, metal servo's whirring as it moved in a perfectly regulated way that no human could easily match.
Louise and Montmorency followed as Emden moved down the floors and stairways of the Starfinder society building, though it was difficult in many ways to keep up with such an inhuman walking speed that was not a walk, nor a run, and eventually made it out of the Starfinder building to find an Air car parked right by the entrance with Musashi standing beside it, impatiently tapping a foot.
He stopped as soon as he heard Emden's footfalls, and smacked the top of the car, causing the doors to slide open all at once. "Get in, we need to move fast."
"Directive understood," Emden stated as it suddenly sped up and then jumped over the car, pivoted in place, and got into the front seat beside Musashi. The doors closed barely ten seconds later as Montmorency and Louise managed to climb into the back, the car speeding off before they had even managed to get seated comfortably.
"I understand you girls are still coming to terms with the information load, but as you've seemed to come with us during this situation we'll need to sort some ground rules," Musashi spoke as he drove, quiet fast, across Absalom towards the docks, barely giving the girls a chance to see anything outside of the car. "We'll all give you time to understand things, no one will be unfair, but as I said before, you will need to work. And on that point, we're taking a job where the ship, and some crew, may nee to fight. When someone tells you to do something when the ship is in a combat situation, you obey unless told otherwise, understood?"
"I understand, its like on a military ship, we listen to those in charge, and the chain of command," Louise said in clear understanding. Having a mother who was a knight made it easy to.
"Good. In combat there is no time for doubt or inaction either, so when the ship is in combat, you listen and act," Musashi said seriously as the air car move into a dark tunnel that Louise recognized was probably connected to the docks. "Second, we will be giving you both training in all of our gear, that includes armor, guns, weapons, anything and everything so if the situation occurs you know how to handle what may be around. we will not be making you take part in our missions unless you, at a later point, decide to of your own will. And on that note you both will be staying in your room when we get to Zirtisa, or at least staying on the ship."
"Because, we'll be in the way, right?" Louise said carefully.
"Yes."
Musashi's bluntness stung a little, but Louise understood. Even with the information they now had, it was muddled, awkward, broken. like they were. There was no way they could be of any sort of help in short notice, and even with time they likely could not be of much help. They were along for the ride.
"I don't like that," Montmorency said nervously as she stared at her lap. "If we can't do anything, we are just dead weight. Worthless, like those nobles who sit upon their laurels doing nothing."
"You will not be doing nothing," Musashi said as she air car began to slow, bringing both girls a strange sense of floating and making their stomachs roil for a second as it landed. "But before any of that, we need to get underway, come."
The girls were confused or a second before they watched Musashi get out of the air car, and when they followed suite they found their mouth open wide at the sight before them. For atop a massive landing pad, was a gargantuan monstrosity of metal. With their newly acquired information they knew it was a spaceship, but calling it a ship seemed strange with the things huge size and strange shape. It was bigger than any manor house they had ever seen, neatly as big as a castle. The entire thing colored in grey's and dark blues and black's. it had no shape they could liken to anything really, but it looked dangerous, like it could destroy entire countryside's.
Or more.
"What, What is that thing?"
"Our ship, the Telicherry," Musashi stated as he strode toward the ship with speed. "Come, we depart immediately, and once we are underway we will plan your training to come."
