What goes around comes around

The British Empire never fell. Steam powered technology continued to advance. Zeppelins won out over airplanes. Mutants are considered second-class citizens by the empire and many resort to piracy to survive. These mutant pirates are hunted not only by the military, but also by a zealous religious order known as The Purifiers.

"It'll never happen if you'd just let me go..." she says almost inaudibly, knowing that this tactic is failing her the more she realizes what she's been doing the last couple of years.

"I don't need anybody. If I did I would have just stayed on the Snarling Wolf back then." she says, slipping back into the familiar a bit.

"Now there's a better look for you," she said with a more sincere smile back.

"I don't want to force anything. You know when you're comfortable, and I've no right to disagree with that..."

"...but I will be looking out for you."

"Great, guess I'll have to jump into things that are even more ridiculously stupid and dangerous then." she says, the slightest hint of a smirk on her lips.

"...and apparently you rather like me mad."
