[ They'd been assigned to different ships, and had followed their own hunches separately from the other throughout the weeks with very little contact. It was determined that it wouldn't be wise to make it obvious that they were all working against their captains, and as the mission drew to its contentious climax, there seemed to be increasingly less opportunity for a quick check-in.
While the Blue Dawn had made it through to Dracness, whole and fully intact, even victorious one might say ... the other two ships, including the one that he'd been on (The Hawking) had met a much less kinder fate. In the end, the Orbers succeeded in their mission and they had all been pulled back to the station, while the ships they'd been on crumbled beneath the destructive ire of the dragon-kind and not undeservedly too. And though Ben wishes no particular ill will on anyone, it was still pure foolishness to try and capture two of the dragonlings thinking there would be no consequences to follow.
Nevertheless, still dressed in his Hhialian garb, Ben makes swift movement for the room that Luthien occupies during the downtime between missions and politely knocks on the door. Once, twice, in quick succession, and waits. ]
