"Where are we going?" Ferro asked.
They had stripped off their suits and hung them in lockers on the other side of the inner hatch. Kay made him strip off his clothes, leaving them in the locker as well. Reaching into a closet, she brought out clothes. They both dressed in simple woven pants and blouses that looked faded and well worn with lots of pockets. He tried on several pairs of soft soled shoes, which were really moccasins, until he found a pair that fit. Then she led him into a corridor that was crowded with people, most of them thin and sinewy.
"Follow behind me and don't lose a step, even for an instant," Kay said.
Ferro asked a question but didn't get a response. Most of the people weren't curious about the stranger in their midst even though he was sure that he stood out. They all looked preoccupied and purposeful as they flowed down the corridor. A few greeted Kay but none of them stopped.
Kay took a few turns, stepped through several hatches and then climbed a narrow set of stairs to the next level. This level was painted a different color, a soft pink. The corridors were not so crowded. Just when Ferro thought they had walked the entire length of the ship, Kay stopped in front of a nondescript door and knocked.
The door opened and Kay put her hands out in front with her palms out.
"Safe-be, Patriarch. I'm back with the engineer."
"Safe-be. How many times have I told you that I am the patriarch but it isn't my name," a man with grey in the black hair said. He was wearing the same clothes that Ferro and Kay were.
"Sorry, Pa — sorry, Benni. This is Ferro and he accepted the deal to design a ship for us," Kay said.
"You are tall," Benni said to Ferro.
"Uh, yeah," Ferro said, having no clue what one should say. "Why all the secrecy?"
"You ask a good question, but I'm not ready to give an answer. What do you think of our ship?"
"As big as this ship seems, the lower level is really crowded," Ferro said.
Benni chuckled. "It is the middle of the shift. The main corridor wasn't nearly as busy as it will be in a few hours."
