Chapter 9

We walked back to Persephone in silence, but I didn’t feel like it was because any of my friends were in a sour mood. We were all occupied with our own thoughts and the sight of the hundreds of workers that were repairing the internal damage to the station.

“Prepare everyone for departure,” I said to Madalena as soon as we walked into Persephone’s hold. “As soon as Juliette gives us the drive info, we’ll leave.”

“Yes, my lord,” Madalena said.

“I’m going to get out of this armor and take a shower. I’ll be back on the bridge in half an hour,” I said to Eve, Zea, Paula, and Kasta as we all walked toward the elevator.

“I’ll review the video a few more times to see if I find any clues,” Kasta said.

“I need to do some drone repair,” Paula said as she pointed to the massive knight robots secured against the wall of the hold. “I’ll catch up with you all later.”

“I’ll get some navigation models prepped,” Zea said as she looked at the twins. “When I get the stuff from Juliette, can you both look it over with me?”

“Yes,” Paula and Kasta said, and then Paula turned away from us so she could work on the drones.

“I will stay on the bridge with Madalena,” Eve said as the five of us stepped into the elevator.

“You do not need to, Eve,” the Prime Valkyrie said. “I will follow Adam’s orders.”

“I know,” the vampire replied. “I still wish to spend more time with you. We need to work on our relationship.”

“There are some things I do not wish to work on,” Madalena said as the doors closed.

“Oh, loooook! That’s my stop. Byyyyyeeee!” Kasta said as the elevator opened on the second floor. She exited, and then it was just Eve, Zea, Madalena, and me in the elevator.

“The four of us still have much to discuss,” Eve said as soon as the door closed.

“I want to hold off on that for a bit,” I blurted as Zea and Madalena both opened their mouths to speak. “Let’s have dinner once we are in hyperdrive.”

“I have much to do,” the Prime Valkyrie said. “So I will pass on the offer tonight.”

“It isn’t an offer, Madalena,” I corrected.

“Can we speak privately?” she asked.

“I can ask the crew to prepare for us to leave,” Eve said.

Let her speak with you. It will not offend Zea and me.

“I will--” the Prime Valkyrie started to say, but I held up my hand.

“Thanks, Eve. Madalena, come with me.” The door opened, and the four of us exited onto the bridge.

I made a right and walked to the door of my suite. The Prime Valkyrie followed me, and I locked the door behind her once she entered.

“Let’s talk,” I said as I gestured to the couches by the door.

“You said you wished to take a shower. I will help you take off your armor.”

“You said you wanted to talk.”

“We can speak while I take off your armor, my lord.” Madalena set her rifle on one of my coffee tables and then she turned to face me.
