CHAPTER SIXTEEN

Alpha-line Q-Ship, Airspace outside Unsurpassed, Tangki System

“I still can’t believe you bowled a perfect game,” remarked Chester, securing his helmet over his head. His voice switched to coming through the comm.

“You would if you’d seen me do it the dozen times before,” said Julianna. “If we’re ever at a bar with bowling or shuffle board, don’t tell anyone my secret. It’s one of my many ways of taking stranger’s cash.”

Eddie’s smile could be seen through the front plate of his own helmet. “How’d I get paired up with two sharks for this mission? One at pool and the other at bowling,” he said proudly.

From the cockpit, Lar’s voice rang out. “We’re nearly in position.”

Julianna looked out the side panel of the air lock where they stood, all of them suited up for space travel. They stood in a secure chamber, partitioned off from the main cabin. Chester had found Unsurpassed, using a tracker. He’d also been able to determine an airlock where they could enter through. It would get the attention of someone on the bridge, but that’s why Eddie and Julianna were there.

Eddie checked that the tether between the three of them was tight. He was in the lead. Chester in between them.

“We’re all set,” said Eddie to Lars. “Opening the air lock in the back chamber in ten seconds.”

“Copy,” said Lars.

“Initiate cloaking belts,” said Julianna, opening her own and activating. A moment later and the three disappeared from the space.

“That’s wild,” said Chester. She appreciated having him on this mission. He was fearless and appreciated the thrill of the adventure. Most might be worried about taking a computer hacker on a mission like this, but she knew since the moment they met Chester Wilkerson that he was a force to be feared both on the Dark Web and in person. It was because of him that she’d been shot at and electrocuted, all because of his cleverly built traps. This was not a guy to be underestimated.

Eddie led the way across the short expanse between the cloaked Q-Ship and Unsurpassed. Now that he was floating next to the enemy ship, he could see how incredibly it was built. Although not as big as QBS ArchAngel, it still was a size to impress. He could only wonder about the thing Felix could be plotting with a ship this big. Was it a war? A direct attack on the Federation? He definitely had a ship that could put up quite the fight, especially since it had the same shielding technology as the smaller ship he’d used when they’d last met him.

Opening the airlock from the outside would have posed a problem before. However, with a device that Hatch had equipped them with and his super human skill, it was as easy as pie. Eddie had never made a pie before, actually. He remembered that his mother said the crust was the hardest part. He smiled to himself, thinking of his mother. This is for you, Mom. All of this has always been for you and Dad.
