None of it was good. It was all unsettling. She hated to think about it.

But Tray and Brigit were now a ship called Prison Princess, which used to be Demon Girl, and she was having trouble processing that.

And even though Draden’s plan of breaking through the second ALCOR gate and rescuing their friends and family on Harem from the evil Veila was pretty much just about the dumbest idea ever, she was on board because she needed to get the hell away from Prison Princess.

It was too much. It was fucking with her. Calling up long-forgotten memories she’d rather not revisit.

Mostly because it was counterproductive. But also because she had a very bad feeling about it.

Like maybe she’d been set up. And her role in this shit show happening presently was predetermined. And she would end up getting people killed.

People like Draden. And Serpint. And ALCOR.

So she left Mighty Minions with Draden and didn’t tell a single one of her friends about it.

Of course Mighty Boss knew she left. But they did not prevent her from leaving. They did not send a message to ALCOR or Asshole alerting them to her plans so they could rush in and stop her.

And that was that. Draden was still listed as her backup responsible party and her flight plan—should the Prime Navy stop her on her way back to Harem—clearly said her destination was Harem Station where Serpint, her main responsible party, was currently located.

As far as Booty Hunter was concerned, this new plan was as legal and rational as anything else that had happened in her life.
