You can’t teleport straight into the Tower, so once again Blaze and Ghost are bringing a guest aboard their ship. The Exo stands back a step as the materialize, not wanting to crowd their human friend in the cramped interior.

“So this is our jumpship,” she explains, gesturing at the little cabin. Ghost’s already powering up the lights - and the life-support, which fires up with a hiss of fresh air. It’s fortunate they’ve been keeping the place better heated since their last organic visitors. It looks pretty bare and cold right now, everything that might mark it as a living space tucked away behind patchwork metal plating. “Sorry we have to take the long way round, but on the bright side that means you get to come in the scenic route. Go ahead and take a seat.”

She has to mean the only item of furniture there: the hefty pilot’s seat with its worn padding. Blaze is going to move around it and go right for the cockpit controls. And hey, the interior decor might not be much, but the view from the big forward displays is nothing to sniff at: a sweeping window with the glowing blue curve of Earth visible below, and no atmosphere masking the countless stars above

"--hat do you mean--ack!"

Steve pitches forward when they materialize, eyes wide and heart rate skyrocketing from the sudden transition from the nexus to someplace altogether different. He steadies himself with a hand against the wall, looking around slowly.

"...Holy shit."

The breathless swear says more about his state of shock than anything. When he said right now, Blaze didn't waste any time whatsoever. There's a slightly light feeling that Steve can't quite place until the forward displays catch his attention.

They're in space.

Space.

"Son of a..." Yeah no, Steve's gonna make his way over to the pilot's seat right away and sit down. His mouth hasn't properly closed since he arrived. "...This is incredible, you guys...!"
