Chapter 14

It was 4:15 am. Merrick sat at a table which his workers used as a make-shift communication station. A large portion of the ceiling above him was still not repaired. He looked up. Instead of seeing a ceiling, he saw large holes that revealed layers of concrete and steel. He also saw stars. He glanced at Ander with a glare of disappointment. He was glad the forecast was dry and the night air was cooler than usual.

He patiently waited for a substation on his planet, Ta’Jeon, to align with a substation he only knew by name – Parcsi (Park-see’). Parcsi was a pirate-forward operating base located on a dead planet in the Obipherion star system one parsec away - a planet called, Prevan. The relay station on Prevan would align with a substation in the Adjelon system and the Ta’Jeon system simultaneously.

When the substations on Ta’Jeon and Adjelon align with Prevan, a data burst would be sent to Adjelon, home of the notorious pirate whose name was unknown but their rule and power were known by all in the criminal world. Prevan base would relay information between the two distant worlds – the planet Ta’Jeon and the Adjelon star system.

“Sir, we have received a message… the link has been initiated. It reads, ‘Merrick… what is the status of my compounds… where is the 5th prime?’ That’s it, Sir.”

Merrick answered, “Both compounds attacked… seven of twelve ships destroyed… two buildings as well… it was without a doubt… Boone Nova… prime escaped.”

They waited for several minutes as Jurias Kwelling, on Prevan, relayed the information to Adjelon. A reply came back.

“Merrick… I have a gift for you… return to Obipherion in six days… find Kwelling… Nova has destroyed another of my compounds on Isoter... I have a plan… we will deal with Boone Nova.”

“Sir,” the servant said. “The data burst has ended. That is all.”

Merrick cleared his throat and gazed at the big man, “Ander, leave now. You will clean up your mess.”

Merrick got up and left with disdain as Ander cowered. The big, bald man would expedite the mission and somehow find a way to redeem himself and exact his revenge on an unsuspecting Boone Nova.

…

Boone rocketed away from the Vacusius Zephyr. Cumi, now angered more than ever and determined to destroy the cargo ship, Kenos Verisian, issued more orders.

“Lock on to the cargo ship! Is it in range? We will disable it and collect what parts of the teleportation device we can. Perhaps intact!”

The weapons officer replied, “I will have a lock in a few moments, Madam Cumi.”

“What? Why?” she cried out in anguish. “We just passed by it! It should still be in range!”

“Madam, the cargo ship is fleeing. Also, Madam Cumi, this is odd… the cargo ship… is almost traveling at light speed. It is a very fast cargo ship!”

“What!” she wailed. She stood and walked up behind the NAV officer.

The NAV officer replied, “Do not worry, Madam. It is not faster than us.”

Boone had Lila lock on to Mace’s ship.
