Chapter Thirty-Two

A loud rumble surrounded them as the launch door shuddered then broke apart in front of their eyes. The landing bay was filled with a silent chaos. The destruction of the door not only hurled pieces of spaceship hull at the ships, it also exposed the ships to the vacuum of space. Rev guided their transport towards the opening before the mess of metal and parts could reach them. The ship shook and groaned as it whooshed into the maw created by Rev's act of destruction.

Tracy's heart pounded in her chest as she sat gripping the edge of her seat. Rev expertly manipulated the controls to keep an even trim on the ship's flight path as broken parts of other ships tumbled past them, creating a dangerous debris field. The transport rocked, and large pieces of metal flew towards them. Rev looked grim as he piloted the ship, holding it on a steady course. The transport was fighting against Rev and on the verge of spinning out of control. Rev swore as the ship tilted sharply then began to roll. At that moment, the speakers came to life with a crackling sound.

"Tracker Ar-Reven, return immediately. If you come back right now, no additional charges will be brought against you. If you do not return, we'll be forced to blast your ship to pieces. This is your only warning."

"Tracy," said Rev, "I told you to hold on before. Now you really have to hang tight. Oh, and please do me a favor, push that blue button on the panel."

"Okay," she said and pressed the button. She expected something dramatic to happen, but nothing did. Instead, Rev began to speak.

"This is the transport, ah let me see—" Rev peered at something on the command screen before him "—the transport Go to Hell, and your demand only warrants a one-word response. Goodbye."

Rev moved his hands around the ship's instrument panel, and the engine sound changed from a low roar to a high whine.

"Tracker Ar-Reven, we see your engines engaged. Do not, repeat, do not initiate jump drive this close to our ship. It is an unsafe procedure. Do not—"

Rev flicked off the incoming signal.

"Are you sure about this?" asked Tracy. "What will happen to them?"

"They'll survive, I think," Rev said darkly. "We won't survive if we stay."

He pressed another button. Tracy was jolted forward and then back into her seat. Her breath was knocked out of her and everything went black.
