CHAPTER ELEVEN

Cold greets me. A bone-deep, icicle-breeding cold that bites my nose and makes my sides shudder. Dude’s still tucked up under my chin; a tiny ball of warmth reminding me that being warm is a thing.

Getting up is hard. Uncurling from my nest of plasform and junk, surrendering the little heat it provides, seems like a really bad idea but a little voice at the back of head, the one that reminds me of Dad, is telling me otherwise. Plus, Dude feels sick again, that too-full sensation of his weighing down my stomach.

Moving generates a thread of heat, enough to get me to my feet, but not enough to stop the shudders rippling up my sides.

As awesome as shipsuits are, there’re not nanoskins. They don’t regulate my temperature because Citlali does that… or is supposed to.

I’m pretty sure it’s colder here than it was on Stasis. My fingertips are blue and I’ve lost the feeling in my lips.

The enviros are fucked, that’s the only reason for the cold. At least there’s still oxygen, even if breathing it is like sucking down ice.

So, new goal. Don’t stop moving.

Besides, sitting here on my arse isn’t going to fix Dude.

I need to get to Medical but he doesn’t have that much time, not unless I can find a clear run through Lab One to Central, and from the jungle of fug we burnt through getting here, that’s not going to happen.

So. Medical is out. At least for now. That doesn’t leave a lot of options, but at least I’m on Lab Two. That’s something. Something that may save Dude’s fuzzy butt.

Citlali’s not any old ship. It’s one of five ships sent out from Jørn on a mission to explore the galaxy, and like any good expedition, it’s packed with scientists. Lots and lots of scientists, the kind who like sticking their noses in alien crap and seeing what they can do with it. Which isn’t good for the alien crap but is great for me. And Dude. I just have to find Mae Liu’s lab.
