Chapter 9: Hostage

A cold sweaty shiver grips me, what the fuck?

“D,”

“D, where are you?”

“D, you ok?”

“This is Muther; all I have is blank visuals”

“Fuck, fuck, fuck, Frosty, got your ears up?”

“Go,” says Frosty

“I lost D.”

“Be fucking serious.”

“Fuck man, I am, she was here, now she has disappeared,”

“Everything was normal, then bang lights out no visual, no nothing,” says Muther. “And I’m too far away for any nanotech data reads. I have nothing.”

“I’m on my way to the control room, stand by.” replies Frosty.

“Hold on, got a visual of D being carried into Fat Art’s office by a Hybrid” says Muther. “Shit, they’re going out the back door,”

“If they get into the maintenance tunnels we’ll never find them,” snaps Frosty.

“Fat Arts office door is carbon fiber re-enforced steel, take forever to burn through it.” I curse

“Beast, get cloaked and get down there as fast as you can, we need your nose to track D.” directs Frosty.

“On my way, be there in minutes,” xmits Beast.

“I have no audio feed from the office camera, so I have no idea what they are doing or where they are going.” says Muther.

“Contact Stevenson and have the trade station locked down ASAP, no ship docks or disembarks, explain why,” orders Frosty.

“Got it,” replies Muther.

“Make sure you guys have your location beacons activated,” directs Frosty. “We need to track you on the station blueprint schematic overlay.”

Beast slides to a stop beside me outside Fat Arts office.

“Muther, can you give me a route to get to Fat Arts office back door?” I ask.

“Visual schematic with route is on your visor now,” replies Muther.

I take the right side of the hallway Beast on the left. We follow the route through the hallways until we arrive at an armored locked door.

“Fat Art’s back door, also armored,” I murmur.

“Anything Beast?” asks Frosty.

“Nothing ...wait ... yes ... faint, but I have a DNA trace, this way,” xmits Beast.

Beast leads the way around the twists and turns as we get closer to the maintenance tunnels, past a junction, left, then right, past a floor to ceiling maintenance panel, then nothing.

“Lost the trace, hold station while I recheck from the junction,” xmits Beast.

“We see your position on the station schematic, you are right against the start of the maintenance tunnels.” says Muther.

“There is no side access either way from our position Muther,” I reply.

“Nothing, the DNA trace stops here at the maintenance panel,” xmits Beast.

“Hold your positions,” says Frosty. “Muther, get Stevenson on line for me please,”

“Stevenson here,”

“Mike we got a problem,” says Frosty.

“Muther filled me in, now listen, this is a very active station and as such I can only delay regular activities a few hours at best, so what do need?” replies Mike.

“Got anyone on staff that knows the maintenance tunnels of level five like the back of their hands,” asks Frosty.

“All handled by mechanical droids,” replies Mike

“Shit,” not what I need.”

“We could ask old Freddie, but he is retired.” adds Mike. “He would know the area if anyone does as he
