"I decoded the traverse instructions sent over by Eleettra.”
Marr and Dukk were alone in the cockpit. They were waiting for the others to join them ahead of leaving the beach house hanger.
“What is the destination?” Dukk asked.
“A planet in the Innes system. Isn’t that in the direction of the Carina constellation?”
“Yes, which makes sense.”
“Why?”
“Craig mentioned that the holiday was over, and he needed to get back to doing the rounds.”
“Now that he and Emeelie are official?”
“Yep. He said they are using it as a good excuse to sure up relations with other families and strengthen trade agreements.”
“Which family is out that direction?”
“The Hintaught family.”
“Are we going to Drafuse?” Annee interrupted having just entered the cockpit.
“I gather,” Dukk answered.
“Drafuse?” Marr asked.
“It is the most likely hub stop on the way to Abrolhos,” Dukk replied.
“What is at Abrolhos?” Luna asked having followed Annee in and taken her seat.
“The Hintaught’s largest settlement,” Annee replied.
“Hintaughts! We haven’t had dealings with them since Dukk became captain,” Bazzer announced as he landed into his seat.
“Hintaughts! Sounds like we have received the flight plan,” Mentor stated as he joined them.
“Nope, just the first traverse, the rest is speculation,” Marr answered.
“Will we get going or do you want to sit here and discuss elite family specifics for the rest of the evening?” Dukk said with a chuckle.
He was met with cheeky smiles from his crew.
