"Well i'm sure whatever happened was 'extremely' interesting, Cedrac was it?" Larry answered, still unsure of this strange beings intentions and identity. "How do i know that the things you've told me are accurate? or even loosely based on truth for that matter." Cedrac smiled again -- "can you do me a favor and stop that? please..." cringed Larry as Cedrac quickly slaps his lips back in place. The corners of his mouth are still twisted in mirth however and the strange glint in his eyes is ever present. "I guess you'll just have to trust your instincts", answers Cedrac. Something ticks inside of Larry, he doesn't know why but he knows he needs to leave. Seemingly on queue a resounding SMAASHHHH resounds through the metal walls of their room."Attention!, all personnel to emergency stations. REPEAT. All personnel to emergency stati--crkkkkkkk..." The announcement is plunged into a state of constant static. Cedrac's expression wasn't so calm and menacing now, Larry noticed with a feeling of relief. This thing must have a weakness. Perhaps he cant breath in space Larry wonders, cracking into a broad grin at the thought of this little horror being sucked through space, an unnaturally cruel thing for him to think. Larry shocks himself a little but doesn't stop smiling. Cedrac notices. "Something funny?" comes his threatening snarl. As Cedrac turns towards the doors and gestures for him to follow Larry notices a dark streak spreading from the base of Cedrac's ear downwards. Could the sound have effected him? it would have to wait Larry decides.
Cedrac stands in front of Larry, both of them in the door way leading to Larry's ship. A thick and very hot gout of flame flings itself past the door. The both of them flinch backwards at the heat. Cedrac is momentarily stunned and Larry does what any free-booting civilian would. Planting a boot squarely between the midget menaces shoulder blades he gives a hard shove. Cedrac's body is sent flying into the now flaming corridor outside. Larry swings his bay door shut with a slam and reassures himself that the little freak wouldn't die, he may be a bit of a charlatan but he'd never want for murder. Safe in his own ship Larry releases the ships locks and with luck is able to drift away from the station, the actual release mechanism must have been damaged because leaving is usually a two way arrangement. "To hell with this place" Larry says aloud."Home alone finally."

"Hahaha... some home" comes an unwanted voice from behind him, setting his neck hair on end. "You didn't think you could get rid of me so easily did you? shameful" says Cedrac, pulling himself into the other control board seat."Looks like you're stuck with me, hahahahaaa"
. The ships engines leave a trail of light behind them as they move out towards the unknown. Something tells Larry that it's only just the beginning.
