"So how'd this Tycho end up in Athens, in a prison too?" The captain asked, his interest was finally growing in Leto's story.
"They have accused him of sabotage. They say only the instigator would survive such a large explosion. I have to prove his innocence." She pleaded.
"Then you can just get a transport there?" Jake suggested, thinking somehow such advice was fitting, even considering the extreme efforts Leto had been to.
"I have no credits and only 2 days before they pass sentence. The sentence for destroying a facility and the loss of all those people, it's a sentence of death!"
"We can swing pass Athens on way to our first drop." Zoe suggested, having slipped in while the commotion was going on.
"I thought I told you to turn us around?" Her father insisted.
"But father, you know I always figure out the best route for you. We'd be late if I'd done that, and these two would never get to Athens in time." Zoe replied with overconfidence.
"Well, make yourselves comfy, it's a while till port." the Captain motioned to the two new passengers as he walked into the cabin. His commitment to argue now depleted.
"What's your name?" Jake asked the captain.
"My name? Just call me Captain." Explained the Captain. "Only my daughter calls me by my name."
