The End [Lanania]

[Lanania]

"Thank you" She said a bit angry since everyone pretty much commented on her body since she got on the planet. For fuck sake, I hope they will stop commenting, or that I will gain enough weight for them to be happy! Zalia took her bowl of soup and tried to look at the people sitting inside the cafeteria. Trying to seize the different groups.

 

[Archangel99]

She spots Iroan, Lana, and Carr sitting at a table with a few others. They spot her and wave her over to their table.

 

[Lanania]

Zalia decided to join them, being the only people she knew there. She sat at the table not saying a word, but still looking at them with a faint smile.

 

[Archangel99]

"Hey. Sleep well last night?" Iroan asks, grinning, as Lana chuckles.
"Umm... Glad to uh... See you're alive..." Carr mumbles from her side.

 

[Lanania]

Once more Zalia turned a bit red at the mention of sleeping. "Carr... Why would i've died in the night? And you had a good night?" Sha asked Carr.

 

[Archangel99]

"Um..." He turns a little red too. "I... Just thought..." He trails off, unsure what to say next.
"Meh. Whatever. Practically the whole base heard you guys banging. Don't think anything of it." Iroan says, waving a fork in the air dismissively.

 

[Lanania]

Zalia turned red as a tomato "Really... I thought the stone was a good sound blocker..." She said dismissively.

 

[Archangel99]

"Wow. Looks like someone hasn't been paying attention in physics class. Didn't you know sound travels faster through solids?" He asks, chuckling.

 

[Lanania]

"Yes, but how much stone is there between each rooms? Forget about this... And you Carr found a new job here?"

 

[Archangel99]

"Hmm... Not much, actually." Iroan says.
"Um... Yeah. I'm going to be joining the cooks." Carr says, scratching the back of his head.

 

[Lanania]

"You alway made good dishes on the ship... When the crew were not bothering you at least..." Zalia started to eat her soup, eating quickly, between each time she spoke. "So will I have a tour of where I will work?" She asked the lovers.

 

[Archangel99]

"Yeah... I mean... When I wasn't getting bent over and assfucked every time I started cutting something up..." He mutters.
"Sure. After we eat, though. Trust me, you don't want to walk around this place with an empty stomach." Lana says, pointing at her with a fork. "Now eat!"

 

[Lanania]

Zalia did as ordered and quickly finished her bowl of soup. "Why? This place does not look scary or dangerous to me"

 

[Archangel99]

"It's not... But it's just so vast, that you end up burning a lot of energy moving from one spot to another. So... Yeah. Eat well. You're going to need it. Especially since most of that food will be going into your skinny frame." She says, giggling.

 

[Lanania]

Zalia rolled her eyes, at once again the mention of her frame. "How big? Like two hour trip, or multiple day trip?"

 

[Archangel99]

"Hours, usually. The day trips are usually for... Hmm... Special stuff." Lana says, chuckling.

[I gotta sleep. Eyes are closing already.]

 

[Lanania]

"I'm I considered special stuff?"

(Good night!)

 

[Archangel99]

"Nope. Definitely not. Not yet, anyway. That's like... Waaaaay too advanced and secret for your current rank." Lana says, leaning back and folding her arms.

 

[Lanania]

"Alright" Zalia said taking the last spoon of soup. "So do we start the visit?"

 

[Archangel99]

"Sure. Come along." Lana says, before standing up. She walks to the entrance, not even checking to see if Zalia was following.

 

[Lanania]

Zalia left her empty plate on the table to follow Lana. Moving silently behind her. As alway trying to flee attention.

 

[Archangel99]

She leads her back out into the caverns, before turning left and starting to walk down deeper into the cave.
"So down here, we have our weapons division. Mostly advanced stuff. Stuff you should be able to handle, I believe." She says.

 

[Lanania]

"Stuff I did for the last few years, yes. You will need me for maintenance?" She asked quietly.

 

[Archangel99]

"Hmm... Little bit of maintenance, and mostly research. We need more weapons, of course. We kept some very powerful ones down there, so I'd warn you to be cautious. A single misfire from one of those could cause massive damage to the base." She says, looking back at her.

 

[Lanania]

Zalia pointed to her cybernetic eye saying calmly "I learned this lesson quite well, trust me, I don't want to look even more dead then I am" Once her mouth was shut she waited for some silence before making a wide smile.

 

[Archangel99]

Lana chuckles and shakes her head. "Alright. Fair enough. Come on." She says, still walking onwards.

They go deeper and deeper into the caverns, before, surprisingly, the walls turn from stone to metal, while the ceiling is dotted with evenly spaced fluorescent lights.

"As you can see, this part of the base is brand new. Mostly because the scientists who are currently working here insisted on it. Safety protocols and all the crap. So yeah. It's relatively safe, and deep enough underground that a few missile strikes won't even make the place vibrate." She says, grinning as she walks down the corridor.

 

[Lanania]

"Yeah working with weapons in a safe place is a good idea if you ask me, at least if we fuck up you won't die" Zalia said while chuckling.

 

[Archangel99]

"Well... Sorta. A massive one would probably wipe out a quarter of the base. Which is still a pretty large amount... So yeah. Don't go blowing shit up." She says, looking back at Zalia again.

 

[Lanania]

"I will keep this info in mind" She responded, before continuing to follow.

 

[Archangel99]

[OMG. THOUGHT I'D REPLIED TO THIS. WTF.]

"Right..." Lana murmurs, continuing to walk down the corridor. They then come to a large metal door, which seems to be password protected, and looks more at home on a bank vault than a weapons lab.
Lana steps close to the keypad and quickly types in a password. A small slot opens up in the wall, and she bends over slightly. A blue grid shoots out, scanning her eye. Then, another slot opens, revealing the shape of a hand. She places her palm there, and it beeps softly. "Voice authorisation, Lana McConnor." She says firmly.

"Welcome, Lana McConnor." A soft voice says, before the door slowly swings open.
"Coming?" Lana asks, grinning over her shoulder at Zalia as she walks in.
