	"Well you wouldn't like it, I imagine. It's under attack." Katerine says, unnerved by the sense of longing the computerized voice, and the very notion that a ship can 'see' anything at all. "What happened to the...rest of the crew?" Katerine almost forgets she's posing as one. "Tell us how we can fix you, or preserve your...stuff." Katerine doesn't know tecnicals.

They could take them apart at will from the safety of their own homes. For all the good it would do them once it's on the bottom of the ocean, at least."

	Katerine was actually hoping Eleyne would come down first, so she could help hold the rope for the heavier sister. But...no. Katerine grimaces and braces her foot on the rail, pulling with all her strength till the sister lands. Katerine looks relieved, and smiles. "Welcome aboard, Sister. Help me hold this..."

 ''Flying low to the water, the pilot skims the waves in the Yathribi manufactured Albatross-class VTOL aircraft.

	Eleyne is really not an ideal passenger. She insists on being as close to the pilot as possible, all the better to get a handle on just how these atmosphere-only planes handle over the water in Yathrib. And incessantly asks questions about windspeed, shear, engine power, and anything else that comes to mind. The electronics that run the plane. Etc.		Eleyne is really not an ideal passenger.
