Anastasia-In Transit To Earth
Anastasia kept focused on the computer, tracking the coordinate. Almost there. Almost there. She had almost pinpointed it. They wouldn't have to fly and observe, they could immediately land after hitting the warpgate near earth. There was no need for work, she just needed a few more seconds. No noises, just silence. Her hand shuddered as the voice shattered her concentration.
"Kay. Whose bright idea wassit to bring a box of these yarn and catnip into my station? I already told ya guys that I AIN'T NO CAT. Get it?! .....But the cartons o' milk were pretty nice."She breathed in and out very slowly, as not to get angry and break a face or two. Her breaths were heavy and staggered.
"Well." She said in a short burst. "You could..." She walked around and stared at the cat. She walked around him two more times before staring at him for a good 3 minutes. "Have fooled me." She flicked the cat ear. "What. Are these just fake or something? And besides, all of that wasn't my idea. Simeon put it in. If I had my way... No matter. You just fucked us up. We could have had an easy landing in and out of Russia. No mess or frantic shooting. But now if there's anything down there we're gonna have to go in the hard way. Thanks. If you don't like the stuff take it out. Easy as that. Now goodbye."
Anastasia stomped away, mad about missing the coordinates. On her way, the man they had just picked up was asking about the bridge. In her rage her remark came off as sarcastic.
"Hey dung for eyes, it's right there. Can't you see it?"
