Twenty-Four

Mug’s Urvein ears perked up at the sounds of plasma cannons firing continuously. She listened, counting the blasts, making sure she knew the exact number before they stopped. It didn’t matter too much to her while she was locked away by herself inside the blindingly bright cell, but she knew eventually she would escape and she wanted to know the cannons’ capacities for when she stole a ship and fled the Collari Syndicate’s outpost.

For that was what it was, no doubt. Motherboard may have said that Fleet Intelligence had driven the crime family from the moon, but they had only been biding their time to make an unobserved return. The entire site was overrun with criminals and thugs, all bent on preparing for the inevitable strike. The sounds of the cannons told Mug that the Syndicate’s fears had been confirmed.

She only wondered who was executing the strike and how many of them were there.

If it was a Fleet cruiser or destroyer then there was the very distinct risk that she’d be blown to atoms before anyone could free her from her imprisonment. There was also the distinct possibility that Zero had come for her, which meant they were horribly outnumbered, outgunned, and out of their element because the moon was far from just an off-the-books black site anymore. It was a fully armed fortress.

Mug paced the cell which was barely bigger than her. She walked six steps to one wall then turned on her heels and walked six steps back to the other wall. Over and over she paced back and forth, subconsciously counting the number of steps she took.

Her ears perked up again, but not because of more cannon fire. She heard the door at the far end of the detention hall open then close. Footsteps moved their way down the hall until they were directly outside her cell. She had no idea who was out there since the entrance into the cell looked exactly like the rest of the walls, completely white and so bright that she had started to develop the hint of a migraine.

Before Mug could even think of preparing an attack, a beam of green light descended from the ceiling, completely enveloping her body. There she was, held in place by a simple piece of tech that had originally been designed to catch fish on one of the outer marine planets. She couldn’t remember the name of the planet, it was Edger so really of no consequence, but she did know that the person that had developed the tech had made a fortune selling it to some Grid zillionaire where it was quickly sold to the Galactic Fleet.

The tech had obviously been hacked and reverse engineered, as evidenced by Mug’s frustrating lack of mobility.

The wall before her turned transparent then slid away and a very tall, very thin man stood in front of her, a 616 stun baton held casually in his left hand. In his right was a tray piled high with various foods.
