The things I'll do for a pretty face and a chance to fuck it...

You're being stupid, Derrick, you tell yourself silently even as you let a sigh leave you as you realize you already know what you're gonna do from here.

"...fuck. Fuck, fuck, fuck...", you mutter and then shake your head as you look to the two sisters reproachfully, "I'm a fuckin' idiot. A complete fuckin' idiot. If there were awards for idiocy, I'd be gettin' the biggest one right now. It'd be a big shiny trophy with a horse's ass on top and my name would be etched into that ass. Probably my likeness too."

"What the hell are you babbling on about, Halloway?", Farrah growls, obviously a little annoyed with you interrupting their sisterly sob-fest.

"I'm sayin' I'm an idiot because I'm fallin' for your fuckin' sob story.", you say as you shrug your shoulders, pressing your arms against the ropes that bind you, "Untie me. Untie me and I'll get the ship started and ready to launch."

The two women are stunned by your words, both of them going silent and still as they look at each other and then to you and then each other again with disbelief on their faces.

"Quick now, yeah? Doubt you wanna waste any more time than you already have. The quicker you untie me, the quicker we can get goin'.", you say, reminding them that time is of the essence here if they're serious about this suicide mission thing.

"Y-yeah! Of course!", Teesha says as she moves to you and begins to untie your ropes while Farrah looks at you with disbelief and confusion on her face.

"What the fuck, Halloway? Why are you doin' this? What's in it for you?", she asks incredulously.

"Well, I figure Teesha here already sucked my cock and you helped so I owe you somethin', right?", you quip as you stand up when your bindings are untied, rubbing at your arms to get feeling back into them, "But, y'know, maybe I'm just a sucker for a pretty face and a sob story, yeah? Who fuckin' knows?"

Farrah stares at you as though trying to make sense of you and your thought processes, but Teesha just smiles gratefully as you move over to the pilot's seat where you can see Teesha had been tinkering. Some of the panels had been opened and some of the wiring was hanging out, but nothing had been damaged so you figure you can forgive it. Hell, if you were forgiving them for the whole **** and attempted grand theft star ship thing, you figure a few hanging wires were nothing.

"Damn. Kinda made a mess, didn't ya?", you remark to Teesha, who looks abashed by your words, even as you shrug and reach beneath the main console to touch at a hidden panel that you had coded to open only to your thumbprint, "No worries though. Didn't hurt nothin'."

The panel opens and you proceed to press a few buttons and toggle a switch revealed there before closing the panel up again. The ship's console lights up as power comes to it and you sit back in your pilot's seat as you place your hand upon a panel on the console gently. The panel glows and you feel a slight tingle as your DNA is verified. The light of the panel goes green and, at that, you feel the ship itself vibrate as the engines come online completely.

Farrah, having recovered from being confused by you at this point, walks over and shakes her head. "A little paranoid, aren't you Halloway?"

"That's funny from one of the women who just proved my paranoia ain't unfounded, ain't it?", you return without missing a beat and Farrah goes as red as a beet as she clamps her mouth shut.

You get the engines firing and, soon enough, you are breaking orbit from the Junk Moon and are out in space once more. With that done, you stand from the seat and gesture for Teesha to take control. "Plug in your coordinates and fine-tune our course. I figure you know how to do that, right? I dunno where we're headed, but you do. Get us started on gettin' there.", you tell her and she complies quickly enough, sitting in the captain's seat and starting to plug numbers into the nav-computer, "In the meantime, I'm gonna be headin' to the med-bay. Don't usually get a chance to put it to use, but, then, I don't usually got a head wound and a massive headache either, do I?"

You shoot that last bit towards Farrah, who pointedly avoids your gaze, before heading away from the bridge. "Don't crash my ship and don't try and kill me again, if you can manage it, okay? Thanks a lot.", you say as you head out of the room and towards the med-bay, hoping to be able to change your bandage and find some good painkillers. Your head is fucking killing you...
