Lovely artwork by an inspiration of mine: Brian Kisinger
Ebony Kitredge wasn't much of a one to waste her time with frivolous
things, things like "flying safely in low altitude", or things like "not
blowing up the next thing that comes around the corner", you know, the
little useless things. Her flight crew didn't much agree on these
obviously meaningless points. She was getting an ear full of just how
much they didn't agree with her over her lavishly comfortable head
phones. She would deal with them later. After all, she was too busy not
bothering with frivolous things like "flying safely in low altitude" and
"not blowing up the next thing that comes around the corner". Of
course, if you had just stolen the prototype of the hyper-light, missile
class airship - which the dolts that invented it had the nerve to call
'Heliosphere' when it so very much deserved a more threatening name like
'The Black Arrow' or something cool like that... If you had just stolen
a ship even half as awe-strikingly fantastic as that, you probably
wouldn't care for such frivolous things either.
Darn it! Now I want to write an entire short story based off this character! Curse you Brian Kisinger!!! lol
