Chapter Six

The dragons were set to take off at six in the evening. Tensions were high on the base. Alex didn’t need to be told this was the first time dragons had been sent into space. True, they had gotten pretty close when Boundless had dealt with the meteor, but this was an entirely different beast.

Manny assured the riders that the whole thing would go smoothly. This wasn’t something they had whipped up on a whim. Myrddin and the human base had been preparing for dragonriders to go to space since the inception of the program.

The last thing Boundless had to do was get their new gear. They would be holding onto their dragon anchors, but the armor they had used before would be useless. Someone in the DGA department (Alex suspected it was Abby and her crew) had figured out an ingenious way to use the draconic fluid in the anchors to supplement oxygen.

That meant that dragonriders wouldn’t have to wear bulky spacesuits. They would be going into space with suits that were designed to deal with extreme temperatures.

The suits were self-regulating and would keep the rider’s body temperature optimal by supplementing the rider’s metabolism with draconic fluid. The only downside was that the riders wouldn’t be able to use the more powerful personal augments that relied on the draconic fluid.

Alex didn’t think that would be a problem since there shouldn’t be any fighting. The additional augments the dragons had been outfitted with were merely a precaution. Vardis had repeated multiple times that he could easily turn off the defenses around the weapon.

Vardis still hadn’t disclosed what kind of weapon it was. That annoyed Alex, but the alien had assured her that explaining it would be a waste of time. The weapon was something that worked on an entirely different plane of reality, and Alex wouldn’t be able to grasp the explanation of what it was or what it did.

She still thought it was fishy that it had been stored on her plane, but she knew little to nothing about quantum mechanics or multiple dimensions. For the time being, she resolved to keep her mouth shut and see what happened.

Myrddin still hadn’t contacted Alex, and it was making her anxious. This was the first mission she was heading up, and she wished that he had at least left her something to work with. Granted, it meant Myrddin trusted her, but she wouldn’t have turned down some hand-holding.

Once Boundless had had their suits refitted, they went back to the stables to prepare for the launch. Jim was talking nervously to Jollies, joking much more than usual while Brath and Gill had grown quiet, speaking only in small bursts about unrelated things.

Alex stopped the group outside the stables. “How’s everyone feeling about this?”

No one in Boundless seemed to be in a rush to speak up. Finally, Gill said, “’Uncomfortable’ would be the best way to put it.”

“And what’s got you feeling that way? I don’t want to head up there until everyone has their heads on straight.
