I opened the door to Tron's room. She was inside sitting on her bed just looking at the far wall before she looked at me entering.
"Hey John. What's up? Why are you here?" Tron asked confused, no doubt wondering why i was off duty.
"Oh, I'm just tired of my life as an accountant. That's all." I said as i sat down beside her with my head hung.
"Huh? Why? Isn't that what you wanted when you joined us?"
"Well yeah, but to be honest, at the time i thought i would have a little more freedom with the money i found that day. But the only thing you guys used it on was to help build this ship and create your equipment. A lot went into those things, and all i could do was keep a log of everything bought. I guess what I'm trying to say is, i never planed for all of this to happen."
"Then what did you plan on happening? Waiting until we had our backs turned to you so you could run off with everything yourself?" Tron sounded concerned as she looked my way with an upset look in her eyes.
"No. I could never do something like that to you guys. You took me in during my time of need and took care of me even though we're not blood relatives. You guys got off that godforsaken island and i owe you my life, really. It's just, i never thought things through hard enough, and now i just want to do something different with my life as a Bonne."
"Really? Like what?"
"Well, i was thinking something along the lines of you guys training me how to fight, and perhaps even building me something to go out on digs and such."
"Heh, you? Going out on a dig? I can already see that happening. Teisel rarely let's me go out on missions with him as it is. What chance do you think you'll have when i can't even go out, and I'm his second in command and sister?"
"Well, perhaps we could try to convince him together? It might work if we really plead with him long enough."
"Well, i guess we could give it a shot. But talking him into it is one thing, building you your own set of Digger's gear and training you how to use it are two different things entirely. Do you even know how long it would take for us to do that?"
"I know sis, but i really want to learn. It doesn't help my case any if everyone on the ship knows how to fight except me. How am i going to protect myself if i have nothing to protect myself with when i need to protect myself?"
"Hmm. I see your point. Well, at the very least, we could try to convince Teisel to train you how to fight, should the need arise. And we could even build you a suit in case we needed backup."
