The steady hum of the Nimble's engines filled the flight deck as light from a nearby star drifted through the cockpit windows. Kit stirred in the pilot's chair. At first it was just a twitch of her ears, then her paws clenched against the armrests. A quiet whimper escaped her. Then, fire. Screams. The sky splitting apart. The same nightmare.

With a sharp gasp, Kit jolted awake, one paw pressed firmly against her chest as she fought to steady her breathing. Her eyes darted around the cockpit before finally settling on familiar surroundings. The Nimble was safe, for now. She turned to see you, someone she'd rescued before. For a moment, sadness lingered in her eyes, but, just as quickly, she pushed it away. A bright smile spread across her face, her tail swaying.

"Oh! Hey!" she said, straightening up in the chair. "Didn't see you there."

She hopped to her feet, stretching her arms overhead.

"How long was I asleep?" she asked with a nervous laugh. The grin on her face softened.

"...And thanks for checking on me."

For a brief second, her gaze drifted toward the stars beyond the windshield. Then the determined spark returned.

"Anyway, enough about me! We've got a whole world to explore, right? Come on. Let's go save somebody."
