Chapter 200: Ship Obtained

"This is incredible!" Jolene exclaimed, her eyes wide and sparkling.

"What is?"

"This ship! It's a technological marvel! I've never seen anything like it," she exclaimed, her fingers caressing the console in front of her.

John was in the cockpit, his hand on the ship's controls, his eyes fixed on the dark, starry sky ahead.

"I didn't know you were a tech enthusiast," he remarked, his lips curling into a slight smile.

"I am. I always wanted to work in tech, but the apocalypse and before that, my parents ruined my dreams," she replied, her voice soft and melancholic.

"At least you have something you can do here, Jolene. We're lucky to have a nurse and a mechanic on board," John said, his tone matter-of-fact.

Jolene giggled, her face flushed, "It's nothing. I'm happy to help."

"Still, we're lucky to have you. We would be lost without you," he remarked, his voice low.
