“The Vhast have agreed to your challenge,” Trent said. Kinsey, Beck, and Isaac had joined Shoji, Trent, and Kyle on the command platform. “You have one hour to get ready.”

“I’m ready now,” Shoji said.

Kyle’s features tightened into a disciplinary expression. “Keep in mind that this isn’t about you. This is about buying them time.” He looked to Beck. “How close are you?”

“We’re analyzing the data as fast as we can,” Beck answered with a shrug. “And adapting it at the same time.”

“We’re building the plane as we’re flying it,” Kinsey added for clarification.

“Yes,” Beck said. “Meaning we will have no time to run any sort of test. I can have us ready for our inaugural jump in ninety minutes. It’ll be a short jump.”

“Can you get us past this blockade and to the next station?” Kyle asked.

“Hypothetically.”

“Good enough,” Kyle said. “Then here’s the plan. Shoji is going to fight Cullis while Beck and the others prep the North Star for a jump. Trent and Hollinger are going to organize every hand we have into raiding parties. As soon as we dock with the station, I want those parties to tear that place apart. Prioritize food. Everything else comes next. Once the Vhast figure out what happened, they’ll burn hard for the station, and I want to be long gone by the time they reach it.”

“Assuming we’re not vaporized as we violate the laws of physics,” Isaac said.

“Not helpful,” Kyle snapped. “As soon as we’re prepped to jump, I’ll alert Shoji, and you get your ass back on the North Star.” He locked Shoji in his gaze. “Killing Cullis is not the mission.”

“I understand,” Shoji said.

Kyle looked at each of them as if it were for the last time. Shoji did the same. They nodded and each ran off to complete their impossible tasks.
