Not sure what to call this one. But here we are the last chapter of JNL. Sorry if it seems a bit rushed.


Serra belongs to  Snowfyre


______________________

A day or two have passed since we left the planet, and hopefully left the government ships confused enough to not follow us. Eluna had landed her ship in the hanger as she waited and decided to hang around for a bit. “Well, cause of Gem, I may help you guys a bit” she said to us as we sat in the mess hall. “Well that’s good, I guess. Having a trader as an ally could help us” I said as I looked at her. She smiled as she turned back to Gem, while there was others there, she did get her dinner with Gem.

I turned to Rita, who was patched up best Serra could do. Not sure why but, I made her the medic of the ship. Better than not having one and she doesn’t seem to mind it. “You still need to get proper equipment” Serra said after we selected a room to be turned into the medical bay. Still at least Freya grew a bit longer, adding more room to the decks.

A beeping came from Rita as she pulled up a comm and looked at it. She nodded and smiled as she looked at us. “Got an Armada ship that will rendezvous with Freya in an hour or so” Rita said as she looked at us. “Right, so stay here then” I said as I turned to Freya. She nodded and we waited.


Sure enough a ship dropped out of a jump right next to us. It was large, and rectangular with a saucer in the middle. Most of the ship was a light blue, with the saucer being grey. It was longer and larger than ours, but a chute extended from it as it got closer. Freya made an airlock quickly as it latched on. I walked Rita towards the airlock, before she turned around to me.

“Jack I got to thank you again. You acting as a distraction and then cutting the wire. Well, if you didn’t do that, the robot would have taken me. So, I owe you a life debt. Even if it didn’t seem like much, you did save my life. So, the Armada will be in touch. I will make arrangement that you will get some supplies soon. I see that you didn't have much” she said to me as she smiled a bit. “Thanks, Rita. If we need help as well, I will get Christie to contact you” I said returning the smile. The Pirate Queen nodded a bit before she turned and walked into the chute.

The Armada ship remained near us and connected for a bit, as some supplies from food packs to medical were passed over. Once it was done, the ship detached as Freya made the Airlock disappear. We watched it fly and make a jump, more than likely going to their space.


Later that night, I lied in bed as I stared up. It had been a busy few days, but at least we manage to help a possible powerful ally. As I lied there, I was aware of another presence in the room. I sat up to see what was I think a ghost. I freaked out, then again most people would freak if they saw a ghost. “Jack, calm down” it said as I looked at it. “How do you know my name?” I asked it. It chuckled as it stepped forward and then I was greeted by the ghostly form of someone familiar. “Araime, but...” I couldn’t bring myself to finish it. The manta smiled and looked at me. “Relax, yes that did happen. But my spirit went onto a higher level. I want to say that I will do my best to help you. And I want to say, your journey has just begun” she said before disappearing again.

I just sat there, blinking and looking at the space she was. “I guess that belief was correct” I said, a small smile appearing on my face.
