Chapter Nine

Aster

We received the first distress signal two hours out from Stasjon. The transmission arrived urgent and full of despair. The Edder were attacking the station. Stasjon had defenses. Every ship and structure had defenses against the Edder. The spider-like aliens were the monster in the darkness of space that bound Fremm and Terran together, because we were very tasty to them. The first alien species the Fremm contacted were the Edder.

It was a short lived affair.

The Edder classify alien life forms into two categories: edible and non-edible. May the stars help you if you are edible.

Stasjon could defend itself against one ship of Edder, perhaps two. But according to the distress signal, three were on the scanners.

The color drained from Chem’s face as we listened to the messages.

This was my fault.

The Edder were waiting for me.

Evie stood next to me, her little hand slip inside mine. “It’s a trap,” she whispered. Of course it was a trap.

A tall, particularly brutish crewman, turned to Evie and snarled at her. Extensive scaring on his face gave him a permanent scowl. She took a step back in surprise, dropping my hand. “This,” Glin said, “is your fault, human!”

In an instant, the back of my hand knocked the man away. Glin is a hothead and needs to be reminded who is captain on this ship. He rubbed his jaw, cheeks burning with the marks of rage and embarrassment. I never liked him much.

“Place blame with the proper authority,” I said, looming over the man. “This is my ship and this is my fault.”

“Yes,” Glin said, “it is.” He lunged at me.

Glin is big but he is slow, and not too bright. I easily side stepped him and brought both fists down to the small of his back, sending the big man sprawling on the floor. He began to roll away but my foot connected solidly with his jaw. He landed flat on his back; lips bloodied.

I pressed my foot onto his throat, applying just enough pressure. The confrontation was over before it began. “Anyone else have a suggestion for their captain?”

Chem stepped forward. “Actually, yes.”

Evie stood next to Chem, watching me. I tried not to look at Evie. I didn’t want to see her horrified eyes. Human’s liked violence in their entertainment but paled when confronted with it in real life.

“Speak,” I ordered.

“Your mate is correct. This is a trap. We are foolish to rush in and give the Edder what they want.”

“Which is?” I asked.

“You. A prince of Fremm.”

I nodded. Three Edder ships. Even with the ranged support from the station, the odds are not in our favor. “It will be a hard fight but we Fremm do not run from our foes. We fight. Prepared to board the Edder command ship.”

I finally turned to Evie and looked her in the eyes, finding fear, rage and pride. The corner of her soft lips twitched up in a smile: my mate.
