Lady and I had finished breakfast and were both back on the bridge of the Vigilant when Taffer notified us that they were preparing for liftoff, as well as the new designation of their ship, so the Vigilant could depart now, if I was ready for it to. I ran through final checks to make sure that we had all personnel that were coming with us on board, as well as all items we were taking back with us including Pyotr's experimental tank that I had taken a liking to.
Once everything was finalized, I contacted Taffer and told him that we were lifting off, but would stay in Defiance airspace until AFTER they departed for Lima. He acknowledged that he understood. Then I addressed the pilots with, "Alright. Get us into the air and hold position until we have both visual and verbal confirmation that the Riot had set out for Lima."
They said, "Yes sir."
Then the Vigilant began to lift off. Once it was in the air, we did indeed stay in Defiance airspace, until we saw the Riot headed towards Lima and got a message from Taffer that they were on their way and that Iri Sewuell had chosen to stay behind in Defiance and would take the Overhaul back to the Bay area when she was ready to.
I replied with, "Very well Riot. We will keep the lights on and a pot of tea or something stronger on, in anticipation of your safe return. Good luck on your mission Riot, and may it be a successful one."
After ending the message, we continued to watch the Riot's departure through our view-screens, until they were over the horizon and truly well on their way. Then I addressed the crew of the Vigilant. "Alright crew. Take us home."
They agreed and the pilots took us on course back to San Francisco. As we departed Defiance airspace, Lady who was sitting in the chair right next to mine, lifted the armrests between our chairs, and snuggled into my chest. As she did so, the holographic avatar of the Vigilant's AI, Lexy, appeared in front of us and looked at Lady and asked, "Can I sits on your lap for a lil while please, Big Sissy?"
Lady smiled and nodded. Then Lexy climbed into Lady's lap. After she was in Lady's lap, they both adjusted their positions so Lady could still comfortably lean into my chest with my arm over her shoulder, while Lexy sat happily and comfortably in her lap. Once we were all three comfortably situated, Lady rested a hand on me comfortably and lovingly, as she whispered to me, "Glad to finally go home."
I nodded and whispered back, "So am I Tiana, my Snow Angel."
