Icarus Vale: Ep1.1 - The calm

The CPF Valiance rests idly on the cold durasteel floor of the star port as it refueled. It was a human light frigate, though it had been retrofitted and repaired so many times it was worthy of Theseus’ namesake vessel, and could often be mistaken for something else entirely.

Yet this didn’t stop Captain Arkesh from marveling at his most trustworthy companion. She, the Valiance, just like himself - had been through hell and back, and always made it out the other side; Whether through pure dumb luck, skill, or even fate, was a subject to many debates over drinks with his peers.

The chirp from his comm broke the Captain from his forlorn stare out into the void on the other side of the viewport window. “She’s all ready for you, Thomas.” The staticky voice chirped, “Refueled and cleared for departure.” And with the heavy clicks of his boot-heels against the metal corridor, he made his way back to the ship. Time to get to work.
