281 Homecoming

With the atmosphere stabilized between the vessel and the station, the doors slowly slid open, revealing a large group of people waiting for them behind the secondary airlock doors.

Max and Nico both jumped down to the main level of the cargo bay, skipping the stairs entirely, but heading for different people in the crowd.

"Brother Dave, it is good to see you again." Max greeted the wheelchair-bound veteran the moment the airlock doors opened.

"It is good to be seen. There are a lot of things that we need to talk about, but probably not here in the hallway. I do believe that the Reavers have a lot of stuff that they want to start loading on this oversized tin can. Where did you even find this thing?" Dave asked.

"You know, just floating about in space, with a pair of friendly Pirate ships guarding it for us. Real kind sorts, they even left us their ships when they went home." Max laughed, stepping behind Dave to push his wheelchair onto the Terminus.
