Chapter Two: A Whole Old World

[Aria Blackthorn]

Suki blinked at Adrian focusing on his voice. In the blackness of her vision, she almost could imagine his face. She imagined his face with soft features and kind eyes. She couldn't help but smile as she pictured his face in her mind. "Um you forgot alien" she said softly. "Mutant cyborg aliens, who eat their own babies." There was a smug smile on her face, "didn't know we knew about them all the way out where I am from?"

Suki smiled as she looked Adrien in the eyes. "Captain Horthon and his crew were the only source of information off world." She leaned back and thought for a moment. She started to speak as she scratched her head, "okay the only source before Comstar came to our world. Before I was born, Captain Horthon and his brave crew would run the trade routes between worlds within our system and to the few colony worlds nearby. When they would return, they would bring the latest news from all around. I don't know when it happened. But sometime before I was born, Captain Horthon's ship vanished without a trace. He left our system and never returned."
