The cab ride back to the ship doesn't take long, and the sun has
just started to come up, but that doesn't stop both passengers from
having to fight to keep their eyes open. Ricardo is dead tired from
being up more than 24 hours, and Jez is almost as tired herself.
When the cab arrives at the ship, you pay the driver and head up the
gangway.
Once inside, Ukanav's voice come out of the comm next to the hatch
saying, "Captain Aboard!"
"Captain O'Brien, Woof and his party have just returned and are
exiting the boat right now. I'll let them know you've arrived."
The intercom clicks off, then on again, "Oh, and Jez...you're going
to have to tell me what you did to get yourself arrested in such a
short time. It took you two days on Sequi that first time we met,
here it was less than 12 hours."
You hear chuckling as the comm clicks off.
