"Your an idiot," Lulu told me as she sat on the closed pod next to the one I was repairing
"Tell me something I don't know lu" I sighed
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... Steve did it" she says
"Who's steve?" I asked
"From Murders In the Matriarchy," she says
"Oooh... Really Steve the butler's son?"
"yeah, they admitted it, buried the bodies under the queen's tulip garden," she says
"Uhhh I could have sworn it was the Princess and her leather jacket boyfriend" I shrug as I worked
"Yeah I did too, But you did see the butler's son killing cats in the first series"
"Yeah, but I thought that was resolved when they shipped him off to the madhouse?"
"But he came back in season three"
"He did? I only got halfway through season three"
"We had a year in stasis" she laughs
"yeah I was doing other stuff"
"Other stuff yeah watching Pppppoooooorrrrrrnnnn" she laughed playfully
"I wasn't watching porn, I was mostly playing that game"
"What game?"
"The one where you explore the world with dragons" I explain "Right that's fixed, let's get the rest of the skeleton crew on her so we can get going"
"I think your an idiot"
"We spend most of the trip in stasis anyway so what does it matter if everyone's kinda tried?" I explain "not like you can complain you need a nap"
"What have you got against bots?" she asked as we walked
"I don't have anything against bots Lu, I just don't like you"
"Diddo" she sighed
"don't like me, you don't have to stay here you can go get a job on another ship" I told her
"Yeah well I like it here," she says
"then quit your whining and go start plotting a course, and a quick one I wanna be home before Lina's Birthday" I explain
"sure boss" she sighed going up to the bridge so I went down to the medbay where Milo stood sorting paperwork and supplies so I went over wrapping my arms around his hips and kissing up to his neck and shoulder
"Hi" I whispered
"Hi, what do ya want?" he laughs
"Can't I come to give you a cuddle?" I complain
"yes, But I'm busy" he laughs shoving me with his elbow but I didn't move
"come On don't you want a little snuggle before we go back into stasis?" I suggested
"Hummm....well, Alright" he smirked turning to face me wrapping his arms around my neck so I pulled him tight to me kissing him deeply lightly feeling his semi through our thin jumpsuits I moved my hand from groping his arse to unzip his jumpsuit which he happily allowed slightly moving his hips as I pulled it the zipper down his stomach
"OI!! SIMON! I need you a minute!" Lulu yelled through the intercom and I sighed going to the intercom button while Milo leaned on the table just how I left him checking me out a little as he did slowly getting harder
"Lulu address me properly," I told her winking at milo and he looked at me in desperation like a little puppy desperate for attention
"UGhhhh!! Captain Simon, Please report to the bridge as there is a mapping error" she sighed
"Fine I'll be up in a sec" I answered shutting the intercom off and going to cuddle him again
"You have to go?" He asked
"I do, You stay here get your work done I'll be back in five minutes" I smirked giving him a kiss and grinding myself against him which almost made him moan before I went up to the bridge "Right Lu what was so fucking important?" I asked
"Route 1141 is closed, won't be open for three years due to a star implosion," she says
"Can't we go around without using 1141?" I asked
"Nope, anywhere else we are talking a diversion of three years in stasis"
"fuck... is there no other way around this star implosion?"
"Not that won't get us either sucked in with it or arrested"
"Put it on the shortest distance there has to be a way around that less than three years"
"There is"
"How long is it?"
"It would add roughly six months to the trip"
"Okay... why do I feel like there's a catch there?"
"There is, It would mean having to take the ship directly hough the centre of 1531"
"so" I shrug
"That's Syren Sector"
"Syren Sector?"
"Yeah, You're not meant to go there but a quick jump though won't get us in any trouble, but not a single ship that has gone on a course to go through the syren sector has every turned back up again" she explained
"so... Possible death or at least disappearing forever or another three years in stasis?" I asked
"Yep"
I sighed putting the intercom on "Danny?" I asked
"Yeah?" He answered back
"How would we do even with a skeleton crew with an additional three years?"
"No way in hell Simon, I'm having to really stretch for a skeleton crew for the trip as is, and I got perishables down here! you want Moon maggots because bitch that's how ships get moon maggots" he explained
"Okay" I sighed "Milo? how would we all do if we had another three years in the Stasis pods?" I asked
"Uhhhh Dead. We don't have anyone in the crew currently with stasis sickness... well immediate stasis sickness, I can't tell ya about delayed stasis sickness if any of us already have delayed stasis sickness goin' in again for as lon' as three years they won't wake back up" He explained
"So what your saying is three years in stasis is a bad idea?"
"A VERY bad idea!"
"Thanks," I said shutting off the intercom "I Don't think we have another option" I sighed "We are going to have to cut through the syren Sector"
