RE: Talk in the Cockpit
Cox was frozen in thought until Duncan left the room. He shook his head, walked to the pilot's chair and slumped. After a few deep breaths, his mind was still racing, so he opened his datapad and sent a short message, "Unna, I could really use your help. I'm in the cockpit. Love, Cox."

RE: Talk in the Cockpit
As Unna entered the room, Cox's mind slowed to a jog. He stood up, turned around, and started to smile. He gives her a big hug and a kiss, "Thanks for coming so quickly. I could use some advice on a discussion Duncan and I just had."

RE: Talk in the Cockpit
Cox watched Unna sit in the co-pilot's chair and cocked half a smile in her direction. He took a seat in the pilot's chair and rested his head on his hand. "Duncan must think this is a suicide mission, he just made me second in command. I tried to talk him out of it, telling him I wasn't ready, especially not with this crew. He insisted and walked out the door before I could respond. Apparently his family is involved with the palace and he thinks even Gadeon might be helpless in this situation. Why is this palace meeting so important? Is it really worth risking everyone's lives and the mission we were given?"

RE: Talk in the Cockpit
"I'll see if I can dig up anything on Graff or Jenna that might help the crew come to a consensus on them. In the meantime, what can you tell me about each of the crew members?"

RE: Talk in the Cockpit
Cox nods as Unna talks about being jaded. As Unna smells his hair, he closes his eyes and caresses her shoulder. Her kisses and massaging generated a familiar shiver, but this one felt natural rather than force-induced.
"Given my recent - promotion - " Cox strains to utter that last word. "I think that's a good idea. They're expecting me to be the emotionally stable one on this mission. I guess they don't realize how much I love you and that I could be as compromised as them, if not more. And I'm still confused about everything that happened after last night."
Cox looks up at Unna with tears in his eyes. Unna senses that these are tears of happiness and of sadness and a hint of fear. She couldn't tell whether the fear was from the promotion or that she, Unna, would be on a dangerous mission or perhaps both.
"Can we go somewhere comfortable?"
