It was supposed to be a quick stop for repairs.  Just land on the first suitable planet and get to work, but things never went that smoothly, at least not in Ellie’s experience.

So while her AI’s bots were scanning the Independence’s hull for the breach that had grounded them, she wandered off to explore the breathtakingly beautiful planet a bit.  Making the most of a bad situation, you know?

Struggling not only against his strength, but also the weird way his soothing voice seemed to vacillate between polite and threatening, for a spell, it felt like she might actually escape, but then gunshots split the air and suddenly he was standing over her, protecting her, even taking a bullet for her, which begged the question…

Did I misjudge him?
