A Real Scumbag

[Darben Skirae]

Darben knew that if Mia was to go, things would just go completely out of hand for she was stubborn. And Mute, eh wanted to keep her out of this as best he could. So, he volunteered. "You can take me then" he said, almost immediately. Mia went to argue, but he looked to her and shook his head. He got them into this mess. He was going to get them out of this mess. "Just let me activate the transponder on this ship, please." At least then Mute and Mia would get back to Commenor safely. He then turned to his bodyguard. "Don't follow. Stay with the ship, protect it. Do you understand?" She glared at him, but reluctantly nodded. Darben then took a step forward, hands still in the air. "Before we go, can I at least get a name?"

Initially he wanted to leave the pilot with Kuzma as collateral, but he figured there was no point. He might as well let her go as she didn't seem to pose a threat. Myles had already made it clear that if anyone did anything stupid, he wouldn't hesitate to pull a trigger. That- and she probably could have kicked Kuzma's ass if she wanted to.

Then, Darben asked him for a name. It had just occurred to Myles that he never told Darben his real name. Maybe that was a good thing. Then again, it wasn't like he really cared for hiding his name. Plenty of people (some of questionable morals) already knew it. 'Spacer' was just a nickname that stuck. Telling the minister his name was the least he could do if he was forcing him to risk his life.

"I already told you- 'Spacer'..." he paused. "But I guess since you're tagging along, you can call me Myles."
