They are coming in through exhaust vent thirty-seven. There are only three of them, and their ship is attached to the hull.

She closed her eyes for a moment and nodded when she opened them, taking off at a run and heading toward the oxygen farm. The vent was only opened in emergencies. If the umbilical to their ship was lost, the plants would be in danger. That was definitely something that Alphy was willing to act on. She liked breathing. It was a hard habit to break.

The fans blew the scent of the Splice to her before she saw them. The musky mix of a dozen species was unmistakable. If they hadn’t been assembled in a horrific patchwork, it might have even been an intriguing mix.

Her stomach churned, and she got her weapons ready. The Splice didn’t speak. They communicated on a frequency that no human could hear, but it was effective. She listened for the slight scuff of boots approaching down the hall near her ambush point. When she heard that slight signal, she swung into the open expanse, sighted, and fired.

The first Splice was a walking horror. She shot it in the shoulder, the chest, the neck, and the thigh. It collapsed without a sound.

She dodged behind her corner as the other two fought back.

The sound of the stun pulse sent a chill down her spine. It set off a cascade of memories that slowed her as she ran for better cover.

The steady pounding of boots behind her got closer as she approached her goal. When she skidded around the corner, she fell to the floor, but the searing crackle of burned Splice was worth the road rash.

She got to her feet and bolted for cover. The third member of the party wouldn’t be as stupid as the other two. The footfalls behind her were more cautious now but no less relentless.

When a bolt shot past her and to the defense node, her hope sank. She had been counting on the Splice to pursue her into one of the death alleys that were dotted around the vessel, but it seemed that he had caught on to what delivered the charge.

She focused on running, and when a figure stepped out in front of her, she hit the deck and slid past it as Lexo lifted his rifle and blasted the Splice.

“Is that the last one?”

She lay face down on the decking and grunted. “Yes.”

“Is their ship still attached?”

Alphy pushed herself up. “Yes. It is in a sensitive place, so it has to be detached with care.”

“I can do that. Do we have a disposal for the bodies?”

She shuddered. “No. We need to get them onto their ship and dump it.”

“Dump it?”

“Set it on course and launch it into a star or something.”

Lexo helped her to her feet. “Do you know of one conveniently located?”

She grimaced. “No. But I can find one.”

“Can you read Splice? I haven’t flown one of their vessels before, so I don’t know if they have autopilot.
