The moment Azlin told her it was a spaceship that had been dug up by the storms, Ianthe's eyes widened. A spaceship! This was more her speed. Just think - if she could hijack it enough to get it to fly, she could seek refuge with a couple dozen other prisoners. She would have escaped from CES-V-13. The inescapable prison. She'd be a voyflen supernova among rogues! And if this Nero guy wasn't trustable, she could always just ditch him on the next planet she came across.

"Spaceship, huh? I've got a little experience with that. Why the ybuwyn not? At least itll save me from this monotony. And, hey, if I get it working, I promise we'll get outta here."

"I'm in."

"Kulhehey," Azlin flashed Ianthe a tiny but clearly happy and satisfied smile. She had had a feeling they would be interested in Nero's and her findings.

So far things were looking up. Now they just needed to find a few others to help out and hopefully, everything would work out fine, and they could escape this hellhole that she called home.

"Nero has managed to activate the spaceship, so we know she works," Azlin confided. "It's just very badly damaged. We need to find replacement heat shields, landing gear, fuel, and a few other things," she explained as she gestured for Yon to walk with her since standing out in the open like they were was probably not a great idea.

The smile that Azlin flashed her made Ianthe smile back, too. Maybe she could get them out of here. She got up to follow Azlin, her eight arms making it an easy task, and trailed after her.

"Cool, cool. Do you know what model she is? The kind of fuel she uses? What planet is she from? I mean, Sjisn code is a squack to read and write because it's too complicated, but binary's so easy, a Yinfh could read it. I have an idea of where to find landing gear, but I might need access to a heat source so I can melt the metal to fit... Oh! And I'm guessing she's electric-running? I'm kind of an expert on that, but I might kiiiinda siphon off some electricity, because I'm super hungry and in the mood for something spicy."

"I am not too sure about the fuel," Azlin admitted to Yon as she grabbed her hood just as the wind picked up slightly.

"I do know that she was a party yacht or something like that manufactured by the Galactica Corp. I guess they had used her to transport prisoners to the planet and she was shot down on one of her runs," Azlin explained, recounting as much as she could remember to Ianthe.

Ianthe's eyes only grew bigger and happier as Azlin went on, engrossed in the story. A party yacht! What luck! Not only were party yachts giant - at least, to her - so they could carry more people, they were fun and challenging to maneuver and to code. It was lucky that the ship had only been shot - the damage could have been much worse if they had dismantled her. Hmmm, but why did Galactica Corp sound so familiar....?

"Right. No worries about that, I'll figure it out. A lot of them smell different so I might be able to tell. We can just fix it to run on different stuff if not. I saw this amazing hack being done across the galaxy at Maernep - they got an electric ship to run on biofluids! How crazy is that? I know, it's great. And since the ship used to transport prisoners, there's going to be a lot of space to stuff more people in there. We're finally gonna get out of here!"

She was rambling a mile a minute and didn't really care. The wind picked up and she adjusted her coat, still rattling off.

"Nero will be happy to hear that. I think finding fuel might be our biggest problem," Azlin said as she listened to Ianthe, carefully tucking away anything Nero might want to know later when she let him know she found somebody who would be able to get Cambrissa working again.

"Now we just need to dig around the scrap area and see what we can find to repair the ship..." she mused. "Although, before we do anything else, you should probably meet Captain Nero first," Azlin said, knowing full well that even though Nero trusted her, he'd still want to weigh in on her decision.

Finally, finally, she stopped rambling long enough to nod at Azlin. "And yeah. That's just about the gist of it. I can get started looking for scrap metal around here. The ships have gotta have plenty of it -"

Now she stopped to take in Azlin's suggestion that she meet Nero - Captain Nero, now, she supposed. Which, actually, sounded better than just blindly throwing her faith into Azlins judge of character. "Huh.... yeah. He'll be a lot more specific..." she mused aloud.

And with that Azlin lead Ianthe across the rocky expanse of what was left of the shipyard, through part of the city, taking a few back streets just in case until finally, she led Yon to the area of refuge and non-recyclable waste where Nero and she had found Cambrissa.

"Nero?" Azlin called out as they approached the downed space ship. "I found somebody who can help us," she said as she knocked on the hull of Cambrissa.

Nero had been spending the day with Cambrissa. He was sprucing her up, and fine tuning the ship so she was escape worthy. For her part, Cambrissa was "sleeping" which was just a nice way of saying she was updating her database. Seemed like Azlin might have found someone that could be useful to them. "Found someone you say?"

He went ahead and opened the hatch, his hand was ever so casually placed on his gun. "And who do we have here, Az?" he asked.

Azlin noticed Nero reaching for his pistol when he saw them, and slowly shook her head. "It's okay, Nero..." she stated reassuringly before she stepped up to the hatch.

"This is Ianthe. She says she can help you repair Cambrissa," Azlin explained as she glanced back at her "friend" for a second.

"She also wants to leave this hell planet as badly as we do," Az added as she met Nero's gaze calmly.
