We were one more Warp Gate away from Theeve system, which meant that we were now in more civilised space so the likelihood of us getting attacked by pirates were lower.
The autopilot rerouted us to the next Warp Gate and fired up the ship's Travel Drives, boosting us towards it at its max speed.
I double checked that our route was indeed correct before relaxing in my seat.
I then spun the chair around to see Lea and Amber behind me, both girls looking at me in anticipation.
A grin appeared on my face and I slowly placed the cards I had been holding in one of my hands on the crate we were using as an improvised table.
"Straight Flush," I announced with a flourish.
Amber let out a bark of laughter, "Ahahaha!! She got you there, Lea!!"
Captain's Log:
For some reason... After Bimic joined the game, the atmosphere around those two changed quite a bit...
Amber's Log:
Awww... I wanted to play strip poker with Tera... I guess she's still too shy about it.
Lea's Log:
I have seen what gambling does to people and I shall endeavor to protect Captain from such vices.
