A woman is running down a small narrow hall as the room shakes. She stops at the far wall and places her hand on a small square almost invisible with her right hand. The wall glows and reveals a complex control panel. She clicks a few buttons rapidly and with a practiced hand.

Synphia:
GEOGRE! Status report!

George:
The last shot changed our trajectory.

Synphia:
SHIT! Why can’t those bosos every cut us a BREAK!

The room shakes again knocking the woman off her feet. An over large man grabs her before she hits the ground and rights her.

George:
I would advise evasive action.

Synphia:
That’d be great George except they knocked out almost all our thrusters and we are our a crash course with the COUNTRY BELOW!?!?!?!

George:
I would advise you to brace for impact in, 10,9…

Synphia:
DON’TYOUDARESTARTCOUNTING!!!!

George vanishes as Synphia types on the key pad quickly. She grabs the wall as the room gives one final shake before stopping.

George:
We have an intruder.

Synphia stands slowly and glares at the newly appeared George.

Synphia:
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!?!?! How in the world could anyone get on this SH…ip

A single girl about 16 in a weird metal suit stood before Synphia. The helmet was removed and her long grey tinted hair fell to her side in a loose braid. She is about 5 feet.

Zaria;
Sorry to intrude, I’m Zaria… do you mind if I escape with you?

George:
She is not a threat, I will not attack.

Synphia stares at her before walking around her mumbling things about the ships defenses and how could a girl enter without permission. Zaria looks uncomfortable and watches Synphia with confusion.

Zaria:
Look I meant no harm, but those guys damaged my suit while attacking you.

Synphia (looking surprised):
You were out in the Smoke? How? *she goes on to ramble more about the Smoke and the impossibility of someone being able to move out there with only a little suit.

Zaria:
Never underestimate the power of tech, that what my mother always says…

This catches Synphia‘s attention.

Synphia:
Interesting.

Synphia walks around Zaria one more time before heading to a door sitting a few paces behind her.

Synphia:
you may stay if you open this door.

George:
Jeroboam is repairing. 6 hours till full restoration.

The Zaria watches as George disappears again.

Zaria:
He does that a lot?

Synphia:
Yes, now the door, if you would be so kind.

Zaria:
umm… okay…

Zaria opens the door and a room covered in golden wind chimes and other shiny objects appears. A single twin bed sits on the far side of the room.

Zaria:
Weird room.

Synphia;
It’s your room.

Zaria whips around and stares at Synphia confused.

Synphia:
Jeroboam choses who will stay and who will go; he gives the ones he wishes to stay a room. Welcome to Jeroboam. I am Synphia, and the appearing and disappearing man is George. He is my ship’s computer security.
