Kaz: What ...?

The Assassin and the Timelost burst into realspace, black and mirror-silver hulls glowing in the starlight. Searac turned before them, turquoise and blue-green, her pair of moons whitely illuminated. The archipelago(sp?) of islands that wound their way across Searac's surface were a handful of green and amber jewels, strewn across the sapphire depths of the ocean world. These islands were connected by miles of slender, delicate bridges, gracefully spanning the waters.
"Looks wet," Acid noted.
"It is," Copper said. "Radium was right after all. There's the Conquistar."
"You're not going to attack it."
"If I did my gunner would go on permanent strike. We'd be obliterated, my friend. I'm not going to attack it."
"Well that's a relief," he said. "I thought you were going to do something crazy. Now what?"
"We land."
"Down there?"
"Yeah. The Seara designed floating platforms for landing ... it's rather nice, all told."
"Okay," he said dubiously. "I'll take your word for it."
"You won't have to. You're coming too."
"I - what?"
"You're coming too."
"Can't I stay here?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"Because if you try I'll kick you off my ship and leave you here."
"But - "
"Permanently."
"Oh."
"Yes."
He shut up.

Okay, it's short. So sue me.
