Lyra's POV:
A familiar smell entered the air. A smell that I haven't smelt in a long time. Tea. I wandered down the hall and into a room that had images playing on the wall. It was a dense foggy forest. The room was all white and I stood in the door way. Someone patted me on the back and I turned to see Blaze. I huffed and he said "woah. Attitude." I didn't reply and he stuck his bandaged arm in my face. I pushed it away and said "get that smelly thing out of my face." "It doesn't smell." He replied. I looked at him and said "it smells like puss." His eyes widened and he said "p-puss?" I began laughing, his eyes getting wider by the second. "It doesn't smell. I was just fucking with you." I said. Blaze scoffed and tried to act like he wasn't scared. "I knew that." He replied. I nodded and said "uh-huh." Blaze went into the room and sat down in a chair that was in the corner. Tina sat in front of the holographic wall that has trees on it. "Daniels?" I asked. I heard her sniffle and she wiped her eyes and stood up. She faced me and said "Sarko. How are you?" "Were you crying?" I asked her, ignoring her question. Tina sighed and said "I miss my husband. He died in a cryotube. They're used for hyper sleep." I frowned and said "sorry about you're husband." "I'm sorry about you're brother." She replied. My eyes widened and I said "he isn't dead." Tina furrowed her eyebrows and said "you know this for sure?" I shook my head and said "no. But I'm going to find him." "Everyone knows that story. There's no way he could be alive." Tina replied.

Blaze looked up from the ground and I said "he's alive." "You don't even know that." Tina said. I went to say something and someone grabbed my shoulder. "Chill out." Billy said. I turned to look at him and he grabbed my hand. Walter walked in the room with a large pitcher of tea. "Would anyone care for some tea?" Walter asked. Calypso came in behind him with tea cups and spoons. Blue stood in the opposite corner from Blaze, chewing on a toothpick. "I would love some tea." Tina said. She walked away from me and I went to walk away from Billy and he stopped me. "What?" I asked him. "Have you seen Max?" He whispered. I thought about her. I hadn't seen her since Tina said she was taking her to Sam. "No. I haven't." I replied. Billy nodded and Calypso set down the tea cups, along with the sugar and spoons. The rest of the guys walked in and got some tea. Roxy walked in, shaking out her shoulder length hair. Blue stared at her as he sipped on his tea. Katarina sat adjacent from Kace who was talking to Donovan. I walked over to the table and grabbed a tea cup. "Hello Lyra." Walter said. I nodded to him and he said "you look rather stressed. And sad." "You know about human emotions?" I asked him. Walter grabbed the pitcher and poured the steaming brown liquid into the tea cup.

"I understand them. And I can tell your emotions by your body language." Walter replied. I nodded and Calypso stood next to me. "Calypso, it's so nice to see you again." Walter said to her. She smiled and said "you can call me Callie. It's shorter." "But Calypso is your name. It's rather beautiful. And different." Walter replied as he began to pour her tea. Tina looked over and Calypso was blushing at Walter's comments. Tina looked down like she was hurt.

Calypso smiled at Walter and said "you can call me whatever you like Walter." He nodded and a small smile was on his face. Blaze looked over at Calypso and a small frown was on his face. Walter was oblivious to Tina, while Calypso was oblivious to blaze.

I stirred my tea while the sugar melted. Walter stared at Calypso while she went to sit down. I sat down next to Arlo and Billy was on the other side of me. The room was mostly quiet. "Major." Billy said as he broke the silence. "Yes?" Tina asked. "Where's my little sister?" Billy said as he looked at her. "You have a sister?" Kace said. Billy nodded and Tina said "Maxine is where she belongs at the moment." "Max. Her name is Max." I corrected her. Tina didn't reply and Walter said "there's a young girl on this ship?" Billy nodded. Tina said "Max is staying where she is." "Where is she?" Billy asked firmly. Tina didn't reply and Billy stood up and walked over to where she sat. Billy took a deep breath and said "where is she?!" Blue said "calm down." "Where the fuck is she?! You tell me right now! I'll beat the shit out of you! Tell me!" Billy screamed. Tina's lip quivered and she said "it's classified." Billy threw his tea cup at the wall. It shattered and the pieces fell to the floor. Walter looked over at it in shock.

Billy stormed out of the room and Tina had a tear go down her face. Calypso walked over to her and I followed Billy out of the room. He stormed down the hall and began to punch the walls. "Billy!" I said, trying to get him to stop punching the walls. His fists continued to hit the walls, his knuckles bleeding. I walked over to where he stood and he pulled back his fist. I stood in front of him and his first almost collided with my face. I shuddered and he panted, his chest heaving up and down. "Billy. We'll find her." I said to him. Billy stared at me for a minute. He smashed his lips onto mine and it was unexpected. I kissed him back and our lips moved in sync. I gasped and stared at him. Billy didn't say anything and there was a noise from the vent behind me. "Down here." A voice said. Billy knelt down and I did the same. "Who are you?" I asked. Billy stared at the young boy who was in the vents in front of us. "How'd you get here?" I said. "I snuck on. And I know where Max is." The boy said. Billy scooted closer to the vent and said "tell me where she is."
