[D3 EA] Shiny Blue Stone (Open)

[Karlotta Roth]

"Hm, hey, Nora..." She stepped inside the room. "Have you seen the stone the boy carried with him when he got shot? I'm searching for it now to give it back to him."

[Nora Crossette]

"Oh that? I put it in the hangar office."

Nora pointed to the control room on the ceiling of the hangar, several stories up and hanging over the cavernous space.

"Is he doing ok? Said anything else important?"

[Karlotta Roth]

"Something about regretting joining the slate eaters. He will recover well if he takes rest." She replied, following her finger with her head. "That blue stone was a memento he had from home."

[Nora Crossette]

"Oh. Ok. You can take it if you want."

She gestured to the uncomfortably high up office again.

"I don't know what we'll do with him."

[Karlotta Roth]

She nods. "He says that he can't go home. He can, he just doesn't want to go back because he thinks his parents would hate him if he did."

[Nora Crossette]

"Huh. Well... I dunno."

She sighed.

"Do we know who they even are?"

[Karlotta Roth]

"Some farmers on a periphery planet. I think we should try to contact them regardless."

[Nora Crossette]

"Well... that isn't much to go on."

Sorting through the the pad, she added, "I reckon there are at least 5 planets that fit that bill within a single jump - and that isn't counting any barely inhabited ones like Illium that people have forgotten about."

[Karlotta Roth]

"We will need to ask the boy for names, for sure. If he refuses or doesn't know, though, then I'm worried about what we will do with him. I don't know what he can do. Probably will be too weak to farm or fight."

[Nora Crossette]

"Well, he might have ideas of his own, if you give him time."

Nora sighed. "I'm glad we won't have to shoot him - if he was a die-hard pirate, we might not have had much choice."
