Pearl & Quasit (Pt. 17)

"The Warship's obliteration will send signals to the Yu Qi in no time," Quasit judged heatedly. "The place will be swarming with starships. We need to find a port quickly to lay low."

Pearl stood on wobbly legs, but her face was full of fury. "That ship could be our only link to the cargo. All we have is coordinates, our employers just committed suicide, remember? I am not going to let payment go down in flames with their ship."

Quasit infelicitously yielded. "I'll give 2 utes. That's it," he asserted haughtily, "then we leave."

Pearl nodded grudgingly in abeyance.
