He heard Noah's voice coming from his portable terminal, and he sent the command to the ship to do as such. When the shuttle finally landed, the whole ship shook, the metal protested loudly, and Lawrence would have fallen on the floor if he hadn't braced himself against the wall. Alarms started sounding, and he could see the damage alerts popping up on his terminal's interface. He closed the hangar doors, re-pressurized them, and thanked the heavens for emergency overloads and his access to them as the pilot of the ship. Lawrence finally burst into the hanger, the place was a wreck and he could hear something burning already. "Noah!" He called, running towards the ruins of the shuttle, leaping over debris and molten steel. "Noah! Can you hear me?!"

STARGAYZER! REQUESTING EMERGENCY CRASH LANDING!

Noah wanted minimise the damage to hanger. But the constant combat for past few weeks has nearly drain the solar reactor. Switching on all available power to shields, he turned the speakers to high volume.

" STARGAYZER ERECT A PHASE SHIELD ON THE LOWER DECK. EVACUATE THE AREA NOW! BRACE FOR IMPACT!!"

Yeah, well, get in line, Little Stratos. [chukles]

And I'm out of sugar cubes...

Hum... There were readings in his transmission from the planet that he had been attacked by something biological in nature. But... God... I'm glad he's alive.

And I'm out of sugar cubes...

Lawrence jumped at the sudden awakening of the feed. He ran to teh controls of the ship, and send the order for the hangar doors to open. "emergency crash landing request granted!" He quickly sent a message to everyone on the ship. "Evacuate the shuttle hanger immediately and seal the pressure doors. I repeat- JUST EVACUATE THE GODDAMNED HANGAR, NOAH'S CRASH LANDING RIGHT NOW"

He doesn't wait for any response as he bolts out the door toward the hangar.

STARGAYZER! REQUESTING EMERGENCY CRASH LANDING!

His mecha barely escaped the terminus system and the all remaining functions of the mech were ceasing. But yes, Noah manage to escape the hell hole of a ‘planet’

[helmsmanlawrencewinchester-blog]

God fucking damn it! Shit always happens when I'm passed out! He's alive?! Did anyone manage to communicate with him?!

And I'm out of sugar cubes...

And I'm out of sugar cubes...

I need to go get some more...

[he holds the wire, and presses a quick kiss on his cheek] Hey...

I could always use an extra pair of hands...

If you have nothing better to do, can you just hold onto this wire for a second?

[helmsmanlawrencewinchester-blog]

Yeah... I don't usually talk about that. It's a bit painful, but yes,I have a daughter.

I might take on your offer... Hopefully you won't mind my company.

This is catching up with me...

The free time makes me think though, you know? Well, try having a baby at home. It makes wonders to increase your resistance to stress and sleepless nights.

I guess it's a good thing that you guys don't have much trouble there. I thought walking around the ship was going to help... Ended up at the oor of Noah's room every time, so eventually just tried to wander without destination...

This is catching up with me...

Noah's disappearance, realizing the council seems to look at the crew as mere pawns, and on top of that being homesick. It's just... Too much at the same time I guess. I thought work would help. Itdid for a while... Anyway, how are you?

"He became a familiar presence around here... He was the only one I would trust the ship with if I had to drop my rank." The pilot took a deep breath trying to calm himself. "It's like... It's like relieving everything again... The first man I lost under my command was a promising pilot a well. A smart kid... A mission gone wrong on earth and I brought a dead body back to his parents..." He shook his head, and now anger was what was boiling inside of him. That was something he had never shown in front of most people he knew, but with the engineer it was easy to be himself. "And if the commander thinks I am going to stand by and let him think the crew is made up of expendable pawns, oh, he is so mistaken." His voice was now raspy, rage tainting every note. "Back then, when Broadway died? That was my fault. I should have followed my gut and go into the hostile ground with him. But not this time. Noah is dead because the Commander and High Council were reckless, and I'll be damned if anybody else dies in such a stupid way like this. Alone in some unknown planet?! It's a death sentence, Theo, and the Commander knew it and sent him over there anyway."

"If you don't have a matching flavor to mine, I'll feed you to the fish." He stated with a wink. Lawrence smiled at the endearing way the other spoke about the ice cream flavor. "Strawberry is mine. Which goes well with both chocolate and mint." He nodded. "See, we're made for each other." Lawrence leaned down and pressed a soft kiss on Theo's lips, before pulling away. "Maybe we should go get that ice cream, make the best of our time." He suggested, as he started swimming back to the shore.

The pilot laced his fingers with Theo's as they got out of the water, and walked by his side as they went to the ice cream stand. He made their orders, and while they waited, Lawrence moved behind Theo, and wrapped his arms around his boyfriend's waist, resting his chin on the man's shoulder. "It feels good to be out of the ship with you, for a change... I hope it's not the last time we have the chance to do this." His voice was low, and there was a hint of pain in it.

Going Out For a Date || Theorence

Lawrene whimpered, when he felt Theo's body giving the signs that he had reached his climax. The pilots fingers were tangled in his dark hair, keeping him close as they kissed, as if he was afraid the engineer would want to run away. When they finally pulled away form the kiss, Lawrence sighed, exhausted, and looked at his lover. He was lost for a moment, before smiling. "Have I told you how beautiful your eyes are?" He asked, out of the blue, with his hand caressing Theo's cheek. He loved the color, the way Theo's eyes were gentle when looking at him. Lawrence snuggled close to him before kissing him again, and taking a towel from the bedside table drawer, so he could clean them both up.

Are You Ready to Jingle Your Bells?! || Theorence

[helmsmanlawrencewinchester-blog]

Sure thing, Root. Still, I'm thankful. I should probably head back to the bridge though. I don't trust the ship to be in auto-plot for too long with what's been going on. See you around. [he salutes the mechanic, before heading out]

[Ignores the thank you and stares as Lawrence checks it out] It’s my job, and my name is Root. You wanted it so I expect you to call me by it.

[helmsmanlawrencewinchester-blog]

Well, I don't think any of them would say no. Noah was likea  son to Boomer, and Noah and Aaron were close, and I don't see Jacob letting his brother go out without him. But honestly I'm... Scared. [he shakes his head] Not of the planet per se, of course. But... What if we end up only bringing a lifeless body on board?

[helmsmanlawrencewinchester-blog]

[Lawrence nods] I took the liberty of turning the ship around earlier today. And no, I'm not taking you as close as possible. I'm going to actually take you there. I'm going to be the one piloting the shuttle that will drop you and your team in the planet's surface. That is not up for discussion. I don't trust the Commander with this mission, nor any other pilot on this ship to take you in and out safely. [he frowns, a seriousness that is rare for him to show falling upon his features] And we are going to take Noah out of there. We have to how them we're not just pawns blindly fighting for the future of mankind. We are people too. Noah is a person too. And I don't leave any of my crew behind.
