*After eight hours of sleep, Anima opens his eyes and sits on his bed. He quickly looks around the room to see if anyone's paid him a night visit. After a brief moment of scouting, he gets up and equips his fullereen layers and his dark cloak. Anima gets down on the floor and does some basic excercises, stretching and the like. When he's done, he gets up and reaches for his accelerator blade which was hidden under the cushion. When he gets a hold of it, he sheathes it behind his waist using a strap. Anima walks to the door and uses the card to open it, he then steps outside and starts walking down the hallway, past the elevator and down the stairs.
However, as he starts walking down the stairs, he hears someone yelling very loud in the room behind him. He decides to not pay any heed to it, as it is probably just some drug junkie or a couple fighting, so he continues to walk down the stairs. When on the ground level, Anima continues walking towards the docking bays, past the bar and the entrances to various military areas.
Suddenly, a seemingly young woman runs past him, almost knocking him aside. Anima looks at the woman, but she disappears into the crowd before he gets to have a good look at her. Then suddenly, a large man knocks him aside aswell. Anima remains solemn and calm and tries yet again to recognize the person who bumped into him. Apologies are scarce on Neptune, so he didn't mind them not apologizing to him, so he got up and continued walking to the docking bays, which was closeby now.
As he approaches the entrance to the docking bays, he can see that the large man is being held back by the security guards. Anima shrugs it off and walks in, showing his space ship card to the officer. When he gets in, he asks a nearby mechanic if his ship is ready, and they tell him that it's good to go. As he makes his way to the ship, he notices the door to the storage room was left open. He doesn't mind this, and gets inside the ship through the front entrance.
As he gets inside the ship, a smile of relief takes place on his face. He immediately walks to one of the hardly luxurous huts on the ship, and throws off his cloak. He also lays the accelerator blade on the bed, followed by a quick yawn as he exits the room and makes his way to the cockpit. When in the cockpick, he closes the doors to the storage room and tells the officer in management of the docking bay that he will be leaving. Anima starts up the engines, and then his hovering mechanics. He then steers the ship calmly out of the docking bays and into the harsh climate of the gas planet Neptune. He enables the ships boosting mechanism, getting him out to space immediately. Now, it's time for autopilot to Venus.* |
