Chapter 8

Lyra couldn’t dispel the feeling that some greater power was watching over her every action. Even now a friendly figure stood in the passageway ahead of her. Gentis was working around a hover cart bearing clean linens, and there were no Condorians in sight.

She kept her voice low and made short work of stating her purpose.

“Gentis, can you direct me to the med-tech? I have some stuff she might need.” Lyra lifted the vial for the other woman to see.

“I believe she’s sleeping, mistress. But if you’ve obtained what I think you have, the last thing she’d care to do is rest.” She leaned closer. “Go down the second passageway to the right, turn left at your first opportunity. You’ll eventually come to a dead end. The med-tech will be in the space at the very end, right in front of you. Knock twice, pause, and then knock twice again. The more severely injured are in that room.”

Lyra quickly made her way to that space. Her knocks on the hatch were answered by one of Aigean’s blue-robed minions. He quickly let her inside and she pulled the vial from where she’d tucked it into her belt. “I conned this stuff from Kardis D’uhr. He says it’s an antibiotic. It needs to go straight to the med-tech, but I’d consider testing it first. The bastard hates my guts so it might just as easily be poison.”

The blue-robed man nodded energetically and quickly retreated to a darker interior of the large space.

Lyra assumed he was fetching the med-tech and that she was to wait. There seemed no harm in doing so since the admiral had clearly told her he didn’t care where she went or what she did. Still, she didn’t want to linger longer than necessary.

Gazing around, she noted that the space décor was much less ornate than her quarters, but much cleaner than D’uhr’s. The curtained areas where large pillow beds were located seemed to be illuminated by the same, dull red lighting. She could barely make out bodies lying within the bedclothes. The lack of luxury here would leave this part of the ship virtually abandoned by passengers. That meant this had to be servants’ quarters.

A rustling of fabric alerted her to someone’s presence. She stiffened and hadn’t realized she’d taken up a fighting stance when another blue-robed figure appeared. But when this person dropped the hood of their garment, Lyra gazed into the face of a beautiful woman who was humanoid and near her own age. This stranger’s short blonde curls were almost the same chin-length as her own.

When the female held out her hand in greeting and approached, the words she spoke almost brought Lyra to her knees.

“I’m Myranda Chase … Earth Corps Medical Unit, Division 1602B. Aigean told me there were allied undercover operatives aboard. But I didn’t think one would end up in this part of the ship,” she gushed.

“My God … you’re with Allied Forces … Earth?”

“I’ve been the med-tech for months.”

“But how the hell — ”

“My hospital transport was attacked.
