"We all do. But Blake can't pilot his because he's asleep. He'll ride with me," Chase said.
"You may ride with me, Jamie," JJ said, trying not to stutter.

-
"Alright, then, Pox," JJ said, "You either ride with Chase in his cramped New Monarchy ship, or me in my roomy Seraphim Toaster."
-
"I'll go with you." She nods towards JJ.
-
Delphi transmatted the two of them into JJ's ship.
-
Pox takes a seat, glancing around.
-
"You sound like you've had it tough," JJ tells her, "What's your story?"
-
"Not much to tell. Got found about a century back by Andal Brask, before he became the Vanguard. Had a nice fireteam. They died. Ended up here." She replies nonchalantly.
-
"Eight years ago, Delphi resseruct me literally right next to Flame and Puma as they ressurruction their Guardians. My fate was tied with Blake and Chase from the beginning. A Warlock had watched us come back from death. You might know her, her name is Sarah. We've been everywhere. Blake, Chase, and I... we're a fireteam."
-
Pox nods, her expression unreadable under the helmet. "You're lucky to have them."
-
"There's things a simple as that you can take for granted. I know many people who've lost their team. The stupidest reason I've heard someone lose their fireteam was because of love. It was all a hilarious love triangle until one of them became a third wheel. Ironically, it's the third wheel that keeps the memory of his team alive. The former lovers hate each other, so that's what tore the team apart."
-
Pox shakes her head slightly. "A fireteam getting destroyed because of a love triangle? That's got to be the saddest thing I've ever heard. Is your timeline just less professional than mine then?"
-
"Luckily, that's the only time it's happened. But to be honest, I feel sorry for the guy who wound up the third wheel. He always had feelings for her, but he never had the guts-- nuts and bolts, rather, since he was an Exo-- to tell her how he felt. It wasn't exactly a love triangle the entire time, anyway. What really tired them apart is when the Warlock fell for that Titan."
-
"You see, normally when that kind of thing starts to happen in my universe, someone ends up requesting a transfer to another team." Pox replies.
-
"Well, the Hunter didn’t have time to do that... within two months, the Titan was dead. Went on a suicide mission to the Black Garden. Solo. Didn't come back."
-
"That sucks."
-
"Wow... surprising that you're not suspicious. Wait a minute, you weren't paying attention, we're you?"
-
"Suspicious to what? And yes, I did pay attention." She replies.
-
"I said the Warlock and the Titan hate each other, as if I'm saying that Titan was still alive, and you don't bat an eye. Wow."
-
She sighs. "You were the titan and Sarah was the warlock? Also, why would I care?"
-

-
"Ok. So, why are you telling me this?"
-
"I didn't want to include extra information, but, I kinda had to. Listen, if you want a better storyteller, you find a Hunter named Jacob Laney. Never known a Hunter that could make a better author."
-
"Ok... I really don't care. Are we there yet?" She asks.
-
"Almost," Delphi says.
-
She nods, leaning back in her seat.
