Arrival + 3 hours
"Honey?"
"Mm?"
"I think we may have made a tactical error."
"Huh? Are the wards okay?"
"The wards are fine. I was just thinking... we sent Helen back to go get help, even if ConCom writes us off."
"Yeah, okay, and?"
"Well... it's Helen. I know she's a good kid but she's got that patrician thing going, you know, she's not being mean but she can't help but mention her money or her father all the damn time. A lot of people in the Con kinda resent that a little. I told her to raise an army and she might not be able to find a single person to help."
"Huh. Well, it's out of our hands now, so I suppose we shouldn't waste time worrying about it." Mal cracked a small smile. "Besides, look at it as a graduation exercise. If Helen manages to use all the resources available to her and rescue us, she's earned her atom."
"Yeah, I suppose you're right. Hopefully she can move quick, I don't want to be on the same planet as Mount Satantoa for any longer than I have to be. G'night."
"G'night."
(I'm so, so sorry. Helen's Richie Rich thing just amuses the hell out of me.)
