[OOM] The Dragonfly, Taris System.

Atton's sleeping when the first missile hits Taris' moon.

It's far away, just off in the distance, but the force of it makes the ship shake anyway, waking Atton up.

"Took them long enough," he mumbles, getting out of bed. It's been another twelve hours, so he'd like to think the toxin is mostly gone by now.

"Aye, glad we could be o'some use 'ere, Atton."

Guppy nods.

"I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel guilty for getting into life threatening danger here." he says. "But at the same time, I'm glad I could help, and I know you two have my back, and I know Atton wouldn't have brought me here if he thought I was likely to die."

He passes the teacups around. "Besides which, if I've managed to get through all of this with only one panic attack, and that one being mostly under my control, maybe I'll come out of this trip more able to control them when I get home."

"Yeah. Don't worry, we'll keep you safe."

"Oh aye, an ye'll keep us in workin' order."

Guppy smiles slightly.

"Teamwork."

He assumes he can control the flashbacks and freezing up moments too, given a little time. They're not as disabling as full blown panic attacks at any rate; for a start, they're over much quicker.
