"This is not a good idea," Grim says, sharp and bitter.
"Which of us is in charge again?" her Father asks, cool, the threat implicit in his tone.
"I- you, sir, I know but- this isn't going to-"
"We are being well paid to take Thanos out. So make it happen. Or do I have to remind you what happens when you defy me?"
Grim ducks her head, breathes out carefully, doesn't let her reaction show beyond that. "No sir. I understand."
"Then get it done." He hangs up without saying anything else.
"You're welcome," Grim says, almost warmly. Pauses. "You probably don't want to hear this, but Lord Thanos says we're making planetfall in fifty hours. He wanted to be sure everyone was ready."
Grim sits quietly for a few moments longer, staring out at the stars, before pushing herself to her feet. "I should go inform the others," she says nodding to Gamora.
"You too."
And off Grim goes. Back to the gym for now, to see if Cull's still there.
Happy rumble!
Cull likes the gym because its ceiling is high enough that he doesn’t have to stoop.
"Lord Thanos says we're making planetfall in fifty hours, uh, give or take. He wanted to be sure everyone was ready."
She smiles, and nods. "Uh, any idea where I can find the others? I- don't know them as well."
Cull brings up a holographic map of the ship’s interior and points at the vague vicinity of where he’d expect to find his siblings.
She nods her thanks, and heads in the direction of the nearest person.
Corvus is, in fact, in his room. Cull saw him entering earlier, and didn't see him leave, so that was the most confident of the youngest child's conjectures about Sibling Locations.
The door is closed, but not locked.
Corvus will say words to the effect of "come in!" if the portal is knocked upon.
It is indeed knocking upon! But she'll stay in the doorway rather than really enter the room. "Lord Thanos said to tell you we make planetfall in...just under fifty hours," she explains her presence.
“Thank you. Is that all?”
Corvus is reclining in a swivel chair in front of a bank of monitors.
