‘ prox is the one place i haven’t been. but eventually once you get out to the border planets and beyond, there are entire planets the feds haven’t tried to colonize yet. totally undiscovered, untouched. ‘course, y’always run the risk of breaking down and there and getting totally stranded in the void, but where’s the fun if there’s no risk? ’ a long pause, mason peeling his attention away from his guest long enough to adjust the path of the son of orion just a few degrees differently. gaze locks on the stars that seem simultaneously farther away than any distance he could ever cross and yet close enough that he could reach out and touch them were it not for the thick glass over the cockpit. ‘ there’s so much out there. never thought i’d have any reason to leave my home planet but now that i have i can never go back. ’
⌬ — “Yeah, well. Prox ain’t anything special anyway.” Dmitri crosses her arms, sitting down next to Mason in the cockpit. “I guess space travel should be something I look into, but I’ve got obligations on Earth that sometimes just can’t be ignored.” A nonchalant wave. “Thanks for the ride, by the way. Wasn’t expecting WWCOMMS to send me all the way out here.”
