"Not good." Killian muttered into the headset. "They're sick. Most of them don't enough energy to even get off the ship if we land anywhere. "We're gonna have to come straight back." He didn't like it. Going to the games was gonna be hell and whoever was on the dumps they were going to end up abandoning. "Whoever gave the numbers on the Chippequoti must have only counted the ones that they killed a few days ago. About 50 of them and they slaughtered them in the cages. We've got a lot more." This mining business was a tough one and he didn't know how much information you could get out of the mines since it looked like these 150 were locked up far below.
Stepping onto the ship behind the Chippequoti Killian nodded to them and started toward the captain's cabin. Taking a seat in the room with Timo and the others he sighed. "We can't go to the arena. Lets turn it around and get home as fast as we can."
He wanted so badly to go to the arena while they were moving and ready to do it. That leak and the information now out there had them set up. Maybe their advantage in the long run would be if the Nobles didn't know how man Chippequoti they had either. Getting onto the main system he called in. "This is Killian. We're going home. Set your target for the planet and we'll land there first. Operation 2 is cancelled for now." Lowering his head he sighed. It wasn't what he wanted. Still he had a responsibility to those that he saved. Heading into the main room he noticed that most of the Chippequoti had dull expressions to their eyes and they stared at him in a very uncomfortable manner.
Taking a large bottle of water he took a sip and passed it to one who sipped and passed it on. The ship remained quiet for the journey home and he returned awkward stares till the back of the ship came open and he saw the all too releived expression of Timo as they loaded out. They would have to find some way to make communication until they could see about repairing vocal cords for the people. For now Killian needed to know who was together and who would be single. "If you have a partner here find them and stand together on the left. Any single females in the middle and single males on the right."
At least half of them were single men and surprisingly the majority of those remaining were couples. There were very few single women and Killian nodded to that group. "I'll see to it you uh...Well you'll stay in homes with those that have space." It was more about willingness, but he was out of space for the most part. "Partners will be put in the refugee housing together and what remains the men will have."
