Chapter 1213: Call it luck

"I already fixed our route, so we'll land where we're supposed to. As for these two... time to wake them up and ask whose brilliant idea it was to make a detour."

As soon as Penny said that, she flicked the captain's nose to wake him up.

"A detour?" Atlas muttered under his breath, confused. "What are you saying?"

"Call it luck — our luck being on our side today or just these guys' luck is just bad that we are here. When we came in here, I smelled something. It took me a while to recognize the scent; it's the smell of bullshit," she said, glancing back at him. "I confirmed it when I sat down and listened to the memos in the headphones. Of course, you didn't hear them because they were on mute."

For a moment, Atlas was stunned. Thinking back, Penny had pressed a lot of buttons when she sat down and "pretended" to maneuver the craft. At the time, it seemed like she was just playing around, but only now did he realize she had something else in mind.

"They want us to make an emergency landing since we're way off our original route, but there's no safe place to land out here. So, I already told those guys in the tower that we're heading to Anteca. If we keep going straight, our fuel should last," she explained calmly, flicking the pilot's nose again. "Assuming my calculations are correct."

"'Assuming your calculations are correct'? You mean to say you're not sure?"

Penny smirked and looked back at him. "I wonder... am I crying Wolf for fun, or is there really a pack waiting to eat the sheep?"

"Anyway!" She cleared her throat and flicked the pilot's nose again. This time, his brows twitched. Another flick jolted him awake.
