He glanced over to see that the Michelangelo had landed, and people were exiting
but only had a fleeting sight of who was getting off before he looked over to
his landing pad and saw a group of security with another group of engineers
waiting for them. With a few gentle movements Brocken Bow settled gently on the
deck and Ire smile to himself for a second as the realization of making it back
hit him.</span></p>

position was. He landed and powered down the Brocken Bow. He sat there for a

from the flight controls back into the dark of the runabout where no one could

curled tightly into balls as he released everything he had been holding in
