He messed up. Oh well, let's go explore? - Markarian

“It looks like it didn’t really work out as planned,” said Lactea, as Arcturus landed before her.

“Nah, he fucked up.” he said.

“Was it really that bad?”

“Yeah, it was. Absolute prize idiot.” He shook his great head.

“What do we do now?” Lactea asked.

Vinyl was almost scared to death. Not seeing her again anytime soon. It was never going to be easy, but he could’ve thought twice before showing her his friggin’ dragon.” He made a silly face.

“That’s quite the idiotic move,” said Lactea. “But it’s also sad. I understand why he did it. Sad and very unfortunate. It really pains me. I was so hoping that she would, you know... Come across. Did you know that—”

Lactea’s eyes glittered. “Cloverleaf,” she replied. “11 giga lightyears away.”

Markarian was slightly amused. “And how would you like to go there?”

Lactea giggled. “We’ll see. But I’d like to start off at the speed of light. The acceleration is thrilling.”

“Alright, but let’s be careful with lightspeed travel. We don’t want to realize that we’ve been away for a few years by accident..."
