The day of the sendoff came sooner than later.
Some people showed up. Armi was one of them.
The CEO Mihael and Direx didn't. Some demons did though.
Mihael wasn't expecting them to show. Actually, he wasn't expecting Armi to show up either.
But she came.
She didn't say anything though. She was just there, in the corner, staring at him from time to time.
There were some random checks and after clearance, five of them; four soldiers and one dedicated mechanic, boarded the intermediary ship which would take them out into space where they would board the actual ship.
People waved, Mihael waved back but at the last moment. "Later," he glanced at someone.
The ship was really loud so that someone probably never heard but-
But her eyes watered a bit anyway.

The journey to space was quiet.
Not from the outside but form the inside.
None of them spoke to each other.
There was nothing to say.
