Stealing, Jenny had discovered, was another one of those grey areas. Jenny's father might not have approved of her travelling with pirates but she'd crashed her shuttle when she'd landed here and tagging along with Mel and Glitz could be fun until she managed to steal another one. Mel took Jenny's hand and together they ran in the direction of the ship. "They've gone," she whispered, "we should get back to the ship before Glitz leaves without us." Mel leaned out of the alcove where they were hiding from the royal guards. You probably weren't meant to defeat people that you liked. She was cheerful and had a nice smile and liked the running almost as much as Jenny did. They might not exactly have the moral high ground, especially after they'd tried to steal the crown jewels of this planet, but it wasn't as through they'd been hurting anyone. But other things, like space piracy, were more of a grey area. Giant bats devouring colonists: one of those times when it was okay to be a soldier. The trouble, Jenny had found, with saving civilisations and defeating terrible monsters was this: how did you know who needed to be defeated?
