to sleep perchance to dream

[warpfairy]

Isabella drifts into a new system. This is farther than she usually ventures, but she can make it back to a new human colony after a complete survey here, with a margin of error, and refuel there to get back into central Federation space. Still, she's a little apprehensive as she drops out of warp. If the system proves to be unusually complicated she'll have to do it in two stages.

"Do whatever you like with it: I can replace it easily."

[warpfairy]

"All right."

She gently jettisons it, and then punches up to careful impulse, listening for clangs.

[evesystem]

There is a distinct lack of clanging!

Wergeldt's ship appears to be aligning for transit back to the wormhole.

[warpfairy]

All right then.

She accelerates cautiously out of the system, and then warps away.

[evesystem]

A last transmission comes through. "See you again sometime, hopefully."

[warpfairy]

"Here's hoping."

And then she's gone.

[evesystem]

And then he's gone.
