When the capacitors were charged, William jumped the ship to the pick-up point.

“Clarke,” said the Captain, “Do you have our targets ready?”

“Just about, Captain. I’m going to suit up and send them out the EVA lock, that way we can push them off on different vectors. That should make for better spacing. I put blinkers on them so we don’t lose any.

“Very good. Let us know when you are ready.”

John hung his goggles on a peg by the airlock door and set the loader to putting the sculptures into the lock. Sarah was suiting up. “You’re going to forget those are there,” she said pulling the suit torso on over her head.

“Bitch, bitch, bitch,” he sighed. The loaders continued filling the lock with Sarah’s menagerie. Sometimes he wondered who was more nuts, Addy or Sarah. It was clearly Addy, but still, sometimes Sarah was just plain weird. But he had to admit it to himself, if never to her, the coterie of cannon fodder was pretty amusing to look at.

Sarah snapped on the suit helmet, then the gloves. She gave John the thumbs up and moved into the lock, sidling awkwardly past the figures to hook herself to the tether.

“Careful not to get your tether tangled up on all those appendages. I do not want to crawl around the outside of the ship to cut you out.”

She patted the utility knife at her side and grinned.

The last figure was loaded, barely clearing the door frame, so crammed was the lock with her creations. “OK, I’m closing the lock.” She gave another thumbs up. He sealed the door and started cycling out the air. Once the space was in vacuum, Sarah mag-locked her shoes to the deck, hit the button, and opened the outer doors. Then she grabbed the nearest monstrosity and hoisted it out into space.
