Shadow the Hedgehog

"Yes, a normal life. Compared to those in Haven you're a picture of normaloty." ---- "Actually I sleep lightly. A problem when everyone walks loudly outside."

"Don't say that. I reckon you'll totally fit in within a year or two." ----- "You'd think so. Unless they just deal with them without me."

"Key word being almost." --- "Yeah. Though I suppose I'm due for that considering every other time has been fairly agreeable."

"This place is quite peaceful. Makes a nice change from having to rush about everywhere." -- "Oh I know. It'll probably be at the most inopportune moment."

Zamy got her bearings and set off towards the town centre. ---- "Yeah. Just surprised Shadow hasn't burst in saying the world's gonna end in 5 minutes if I don't help him with something. It feels odd with nothing frantic going on."

"Let's head out to to the town to see if there's anywhere nice to eat then, Miles." ---- "Are you enjoying this Melody?" asked Hope.

"Ok then. Anything in particular you actually want?" ---- "Yeah, it'd only work as a last ditch effort."

"Not really. But we can get some lunch if you want. May as well." ---- "Good point. I wonder if he could kill one of those things with his hands if push came to shove?"

Zamy teleported them back. ---- "Yeah. The android's volunteering. At least he gets a pistol to take with him I suppose."

"Let's head back Miles." ----- "But that means someone's going to have to crawl through that tiny pipe to get to the uplink."

"In a lot of them, yes. Some mistakes are more easy to repeat than others." ------ "Ok, so they're going to rmeote call a dropship down using a satellite."

"Pretty much. You can only read so many before the same mistakes appear." ---- "I'd even put money on that."

"Yeah, we had to read it a fair amount back in the day." ---- "I'd imagine so."

"Trying to prove we're all corrupt or something?" laughed Zamy. ----- "Maybe. I'm not sure."

"What were you reading?" ---- "The company must've known, but the colonists probably not."

"Back to the apartment for now." ----- "I'm not sure, there must be some kind of resource there."

"We'll see," she smiled. ---- "It protects them from the elements at least."

"You might be able to. I'm not 100% sure." ---- "Well at least they're indoors."

"I've got a few leads, not much. I'll have a further look into it." ---- "Yeah, not in the best of places right now."

Zamy talked with the prisoner some more before heading back to her office. ---- "Bingo."

"I think given their situation it should be quite clear."

"You'll just have to find out," smiled Topaz.

"Tell me about it."

"One of the aliens killing the pilot seems to be stopping them," replied Topaz as the dropship started to fall towards the survivors.

"Pretty much. They're going to call the dropship now."
