"Think of it like a vacation," the emperor had said.
Elliot certainly didn't feel like he was on a vacation, though for the first time since awakening he had travelled by means other than his own two feet. When he first saw the transport ship, He had some misgivings. It was shaped like a giant arrowhead with things that even look like tail feathers made of some sort of flexible metal at the end.
'I'm getting into a metallic arrow coffin to be shot through the air, perfect,' he thought. There were a few things that made Elliot think of his mortality these days, but this was one. Then the arrow was placed into the launch bay, and, using extremely powerful electromagnetic fields, it was fired back their destination like a rail gun.
