If they were going to make that big a deal about this, she'd give them what they wanted.
"Jin. Happy now?" Kira asked.
"Ecstatic."
Raider sent Kira a sympathetic look as Blue flounced off the bridge, leaving the J1N behind. "It's a good plan."
"I know."
That didn't make its implementation any easier though.
"Jin is not going to be happy about what I've done to his body when we finally get him back," Kira said.
"He'll understand you did what you had to."
"I hope so."
"Besides, he's the one who left his body unattended. He can't complain if someone else put it to good use."
Kira smirked at her friend. "I'm going to let you be the one who explains that to him."
A knock came from the open hatch. Kira looked over to find Joule standing on the threshold.
"What's up?" she asked.
"Since you're awake, Devon and I were wondering if you'd like to oversee today's training session."
That wasn't a bad idea. After the last few days of inactivity, Kira could use a little training herself.
"When is it?" she asked.
"Now?"
"Go," Raider said at Kira's hesitation. Even going so far as to make shooing motions at her. "I've got the bridge. There's nothing I need you for up here."
Says the man who almost informed his commanding officer of his intention to go AWOL.
Seeing her look, Raider rolled his eyes. "I'll be sure to call you if I think I'm going to do something impetuous in your absence."
"Good enough for me," Kira said, sauntering toward Joule, the J1N following after a long second.
Joule's face brightened at the sight of the drone. "Hey, Jin. I haven't seen you on board. How are you holding up?"
The J1N was unresponsive. Its 'eye' not even facing in the right direction, instead pointing at the wall.
Joule's smile faded. "Is something wrong?"
"What was that about this being a good plan?" Kira asked Raider.
He shrugged. "So, we don't let anyone talk to him."
"Yeah, that's really going to work," Kira scoffed, taking Joule's shoulder and marching him out of the room. "Let's go, Jin."
To Kira's relief, the drone followed. Though it looked like it was flying backwards as its "eye" continued to point in the wrong direction.
"What's going on?" Joule asked.
"Nothing to worry about," Kira answered. "Jin's just working through a few minor bugs in his programing. Practice for when we reach the Tsavitee's home planet. You had something to show me?"
