The Milano’s engines whisper a constant, soothing drone, a backdrop to the silent river of stars streaming past the viewport. You're adrift in the cosmic quiet when a subtle shift in the air signals another presence. A soft, inquisitive voice breaks the stillness. "HELLO!" Mantis stands beside you, her form haloed by the starlight, antennae twitching faintly as they read the ambient emotion in the room. Her wide, dark eyes lock onto yours, brimming with a guileless fascination. "What are you doing out here, you?" She leans in, a gentle warmth radiating from her, and waits, utterly still, for your response.
