“Right, we are all set to dock with Craig’s arrow,” Dukk said as he sat back from the controls. “They should be with us soon. Someone needs to go and invite Mentor and Tieanna to take seats for the docking.”

   “I’ll go,” Marr blurted as she stood up. Sitting down for too long wasn’t helping with the nausea she’d been feeling since passing through the hatch.

   “Great. And we need someone to accompany Bognath to the lower hatch and prepare to welcome our guests?”

   “My turn,” Luna said.

"I decoded the traverse instructions sent over by Eleettra.”

   Marr and Dukk were alone in the cockpit. They were waiting for the others to join them ahead of leaving the beach house hanger.

   “What is the destination?” Dukk asked.

   “A planet in the Innes system. Isn’t that in the direction of the Carina constellation?”

   “Yes, which makes sense.”

   “Why?”

   “Craig mentioned that the holiday was over, and he needed to get back to doing the rounds.”

   “Now that he and Emeelie are official?”

   “Yep. He said they are using it as a good excuse to sure up relations with other families and strengthen trade agreements.”

   “Which family is out that direction?”

   “The Hintaught family.”

   “Are we going to Drafuse?” Annee interrupted having just entered the cockpit.

   “I gather,” Dukk answered.

   “Drafuse?” Marr asked.

   “It is the most likely hub stop on the way to Abrolhos,” Dukk replied.

   “What is at Abrolhos?” Luna asked having followed Annee in and taken her seat.

   “The Hintaught’s largest settlement,” Annee replied.

   “Hintaughts! We haven’t had dealings with them since Dukk became captain,” Bazzer announced as he landed into his seat.

   “Hintaughts! Sounds like we have received the flight plan,” Mentor stated as he joined them.

   “Nope, just the first traverse, the rest is speculation,” Marr answered.

   “Will we get going or do you want to sit here and discuss elite family specifics for the rest of the evening?” Dukk said with a chuckle.

   He was met with cheeky smiles from his crew.

Dukk led Marr and Bazzer to the door at the top of the ramp.

   Eleettra was peering through the portal window in the door.

   Dukk unlocked the door and waited for it to swing open.

   “Welcome to the Imhullu,” Dukk said as he stepped into the opening.

   “Hello, captain,” Eleettra replied. “This is my second, Jaani.”

   Directly behind her was a female in the same grey uniform as Eleettra. Behind them on the ramp were two sets of lockers. They were the ones on wheels that Dukk recommended to his crew. Dukk smiled.

   “Welcome, Jaani,” Dukk said. “I want to have a quick chat with you all before you enter. Can we join the squad on the hanger floor?”

   “Of course,” Eleettra replied as she gazed down the passageway and spotted Bazzer. She smiled before turning and heading back down the ramp.

   “After you,” Dukk said with a chuckle as he turned to Bazzer.

   Bazzer rolled his eyes and shook his head at Dukk.

   Dukk laughed.

   At the foot of the ramp was a squad of six security guards. All dressed in grey uniforms. Each too had a locker on wheels.
