An uneventful day

You wake up walk your way through your ship, thinking about what to name it. You exit the ship to see Athena and Amanda holding up several different colored cards.

"You pick a color scheme yet?" Amanda asks you, lowering the cards.

"We were just talking about what we thought it should be." Athena folds her arms.

You scratch your head. "It needs a name first." You yawn. "And a tuneup." You groan. A sound from inside the Ketch has kept you from sleeping soundly.

"You've got to have something in that head of yours." Amanda giggles.

You turn and eye the ship. "How about, The Wayward Son?"

"I like it." Athena nods.

"Now, colors." Amanda lifts the cards.

You sigh and begin to walk back to the ship.

The ramp lowers and you enter. You meet up with Flora and ask her opinion on color.

"(It obviously needs to match its name.)" She folds all of her arms. "(What are we calling it?)"

You give her your name suggestion and she nods.

"(How about white and red?)"

You shrug and begin to exit.

"(Hold on!)" She yelps. "(This Ketch is almost out of rationed ether... I need that.)"

"(I'll get you some.)"

You leave the ship and join Athena and Amanda. "I'm thinking white for the main color, and red for the accent."

"That'll look good." Amanda nods.

"Alright, great." You leave and head towards the annex.

"What's up brother?" The Drifter calls as you enter his room.

You explain the situation to him.

"You mean you have one of those spiders with you?" He shakes his head. "A girl?!" He laughs. "I didn't think they existed." He leans against the handrail. "You need ether? I've got plenty." He walks over to a shelf and lifts a large container from it. He places the container in front of you with a thud. "One crate of ether seeds." He pushes it forward with his foot. "First one is free, and you keep followin' through for me you'll get goods for cheap." He laughs.

You lift the crate and walk your way back to The Wayward Son. You are surprised to see that Amanda and her crew are already working.

You enter the ketch and place the crate in front of Flora. "(This should last you a while. Right?)"

She opens the crate with her bottom arms and then looks up at you. She pulls you into a hug with her free arms. She quickly breaks it and scurries off to her room.

You hear the ramp open, and turn to see Athena entering the ketch.

"You have a bigger bed in here. Right?"

You laugh and gesture to your room. "way bigger than the pads in your ship."

"That's good." She winks.

"Good morning, Athena!" Failsafe chimes, causing Athena to jump.

"I can never get any privacy around you!"

"That is none of my concern!"

Athena stomps her way out of the ship.

You look at Failsafe. "Do you want to be the A.I of The Wayward Son?" You ask.

"Never again!" Failsafe's voice changes. "I would rather overclock all of my drivers than become a ship's mind again." Her voice changes again. "At least not if I have to loose this neat shell! Did you know I can feel physical contact to a small degree? I assume it is for detecting energy, or for a similar reason I could in the Exodus Black."

You pat the top Failsafe's box. "I'm taking a nap."
