Re: Ariel/Faith
"I'm glad you're here, too." She was glad that everybody who had made it onto the bus was on here. She hoped everyone was on, but if there were any people further down than Ariel, the bus might not have been able to grab them like it had with her. They wouldn't know for certain until someone had the headspace to do a head count. "I hope that you're right."
A ghost of a smile slipped onto Faith's face for a moment. "Luckily for us, I'm every bit as good as the muscular men for that. Where do you want to go?" She stood up, thankful for something to do for the moment. She was able to easily pick Ariel up, bridal style, ready to carry her off to wherever she wanted.
"We'll do better. We have to." Because this couldn't happen again. She knew that she couldn't handle dealing with an entire planet dying off like that again. Maybe it was just some fucked up act of nature that happened or if something went wrong with the drilling, they couldn't have this happen again.
