The badger tries to correct what went wrong on the ferret's ship.

~ Death glared down at the badger who's space suit had seen many better days. Various fluids were leaking from various slashes and punctures, some of which she presumed to be blood of the living. The badger glared right back up as the gryphon loomed twice her height above.

~ The bat's aim followed her descending height. "I'm not leaving without my wife."

~ The gryphon's frown became one of regret. "...some of that can be arranged, yes."
