The Lady Luck had definitely had better days. Half the lights were out, and a solid quarter of the remaining status indicators were solid red. The acrid smells of burnt electronics and fire retardant mixed together in the air. Kaya herself stank of smoke and sweat, and there was a bloody cut just below the hairline of her scalp where she'd hit her head in an access hatch.

It had not been a fun time, and now she'd had a crazy person spinning tall tales about Jedi and Sith being fairy tales.

She was ready to wake up from whatever nightmare this day had turned into.

"Just remember, you basically asked for it."

Kaya whirled around and stared at the woman who'd suddenly appeared in her cockpit out of nowhere. It was impossible. No, wait, not impossible. She'd heard tales about what the Jedi could do, and seen the handiwork of the Sith.

Her blaster came out of its holster and pointed directly at the woman. "However you got yourself on my ship, lady, you can get yourself right out."

"Let's get you cleaned up and patched up and then I can get you some food. You want to travel the old fashioned way or something a bit quicker?"

"'The Island' sent people home?" Kaya raised an eyebrow, not sure she understood what the magical woman meant. "You mean the prison administration sends people home randomly?"

She shook her head. "I want to make sure that the boarding ramp works. Aside from that I don't care, is where you want to go far from here?"

"There isn't a prison administration. It's just some....being. He's an asshole and sadistic and it's best not to piss him off." She sighed. Isabel tilted her head at the question.

"I'm not sure." She pulled out her phone. "Friday, where am I in relation to the diner?"

"Approximately 7 miles North East, Miss Walker."

"Thanks." Isabel chuckled. "Guess it's pretty far."

"One being?" Now Kaya was sure she was hallucinating or dreaming while unconscious, though why her mind would come up with such a crazy scenario she had no idea. Either way, it didn't seem to be hurting anything so she'd play along until the dream was over. It'd be something to joke about with Jaythree when she woke up.

They made their way to the airlock and boarding ramp, and Kaya punched the button to open everything up. "Looks like it all works, that's a good sign. I'd worried I came down harder than I thought." She started down the ramp and gestured for Isabel to follow.

"Seven miles huh?" She wasn't familiar with the measurement but it sounded like a long walk. "I guess you've got a faster way than by foot?"

"Well, there are two. One that brings us here and the other that keeps us here and likes to be a dick." When they got to the bottom of the ramp, she glared at the Spire before nodding at Kaya's question.

"Much faster, but you might end up a bit nauseated. You willing to risk it?"

"Right." Kaya just nodded along because why not? If there could be one being with the ability to pull people around from different universes why not two? This was one weird dream.

She punched the button to close the hatch and turned back to Isabel. "Sure, why not?"

Isabel could tell that Kaya didn't really believe her but she just let it go. She would figure it out soon enough. Isabel held out her hand. "I need you actually holding on for it to work."

"All right." Kaya shrugged and took hold of the other woman's hand. "Let's do it." Isabel was able to appear out of thin air into her ship, so maybe she could teleport somehow, though she'd never heard of anyone with that capability.

Isabel made sure that she had a tight grip on Kaya's hand before she snapped her fingers. In the blink of an eye they were standing in the middle of the diner. She smiled, but was ready to grab Kaya if she needed it. "You okay?"

Kaya staggered a bit as if she were on a ship that had gotten a hard bump from something, but was otherwise unscathed. She looked around at the diner and her face went pale. The diner itself wasn't a shock, it wasn't that different in layout than she'd seen on countless space stations and worlds around the galaxy. It was the fact that they really were in the diner instead of outside her ship that really threw her.

A shaky hand reached out and touched the top of a booth seat, confirming the solidity to herself that it was real. "Chuba" (Dammit) This was no dream, it couldn't be, no matter how much she wished it was.
