Lalia grunted as she tried to move her hands, her feet, anything. Her toes and fingertips burned like someone held a flame to them. And while she hoped her paralysis faded, she fought with every ounce of strength for one simple movement.

“Okay, enough for now.” Naf pulled the sensors from her head and chest. “We’ll be meeting up with the carrier soon and we need to get you strapped to the bed and ready to move.”

Okay. She relaxed her muscles, thankful the Alliance employed Mingots. Without Naf to relay her thoughts, Bryce might have believed Gwenodyn nuts, and her on the brink of death. Maybe she had been during the moments she didn’t remember, between the Erebus grabbing hold of her and waking in the bunker. But, she would go crazy if she remained trapped in her body without the ability to move it.

Naf left her side and walked over to Bryce who stood against the wall with his arms crossed. Was he mad at her for not trying hard enough?

“She’s quite the fighter,” the Mingot said to Bryce.

“I know. She always has been.” His jaw shifted. “But she shouldn’t have to be. None of this should have happened. If only—”

“Hey!” Naf held a hand up to Bryce. “This is not the place or time for such a discussion. When Lalia is better, you can debate planetary issues. Until then, focus on her recovery. You can start by helping me to strap her onto the bed for transfer.”

Bryce pursed his lips, and, without another word, helped the other Defender buckle her in. But Lalia knew that look. He had a lot to say but held his tongue. If only what? she wanted to scream. What had he meant? What could have been done to prevent the murder and destruction of her home planet? So many of her people? Or had he referred to another matter entirely?

She had to get better, find out what he’d meant, and help the surviving Hemera ensure there would never be another attack on her planet again.
