Kita and Babydoll followed the corridor from the bridge to the forward observation room. The room was located on the same level as the bridge, taking up a small corner of the entire space. The bridge and the observation room shared the same giant domed window.

“Hey, I’m sorry,” said Babydoll. “Don’t give me the silent treatment, especially over something that’s true.”

“I know you don’t care about the Angels we lose, but I do,” said Kita.

“Who said I didn’t care? Most of them didn’t like me, but I do miss living in the penthouse.”

“I’m sorry the others didn’t like you. I love you, and that’s all that matters.”

“I know. That’s why I stick around. Actually, this new batch of Angels is nice—little green.”

Kita sighed. “I know. I’m doing my best to break them in, but it’s hard. We don’t have a never-ending supply of enemies.”

“Or a giant forest to send them into and let them fight their way out.”

Kita chuckled. “I do miss that place.”

“Ugh, not me. I can’t wait to get back to civilization.”

“I thought you were Legion through and through.”

“Yeah, only on that planet were we ever in the mud,” said Babydoll. “Back in the UEE, it was all urban.”

“And you were more a police force than a military one,” said Kita.

“Paramilitary. We do help with putting down revolts.”

“I thought that’s what the Shadow Fleet was for.”

“That’s if the Legion can’t pacify the colony or planet. They’re the last resort. The Legion is the second resort. The first resort is the negotiators that are sent in to try and fix the problems.”

“And what would you do if you could go back to Earth?” said Kita curiously.

“Take in a football match. I’ve missed that.”

“A sporting event is what you’ve missed? Why don’t you watch them on TV?”

“I already know the outcome. You have to see it live and be there with the crowd. It’s an awesome spectacle.”

“Casey was telling me about rodeo.”

Babydoll laughed. “That’s not the same. Rodeo is a niche sport particular to America. Football is played the world over in front of a hundred thousand people. The roar of the crowd is enough to make you shiver.”

“So did you ever see Rene play?” said Kita.

“Ah, no. Wrong football. She plays American football, a completely different sport. Again, a niche of America.”

“I’m going to be so lost when I get to Earth—even with all the TV I’ve seen.”

“Yeah, I should warn you now, real life isn’t like it is on TV,” said Babydoll.

“Oh, great. I’ve watched thousands of hours for nothing.”

“You were entertained.”

“Usually. I could have done without all the sappy romances.”

Babydoll chuckled. “Says the girl who has two girlfriends and a partner…plus Snowy. I’m sure there is some sappy romance in there.”

Kita chuckled. “Yes, I must keep the other girls happy.”

“I have it on authority that you are a bit of a romantic yourself.”

“And you’re to tell no one. Otherwise, I’ll reveal that you are too.”

“If the right person comes along. I haven’t had your luck and have the right four people come along…Actually, I think you’ve had more than that.
