Chapter 18 Braxis

“I’ll have them set course.”

Jennings started to walk away, but Rick stopped him. “Captain, we can no longer trust the captain’s network.”

“Does this have anything to do with the empty sky?”

“Yes, it does.”

“Then we should go have a talk in my office.” As they were leaving the flight deck, Jennings stopped at the intercom. “Command deck, set course for Braxis. Jump when ready.”

Nothing was said on the way to Jennings’ office. With the hatch shut, Jennings said, “What was so important that the CEO had to come all the way out here?”

“I was sent a message that SimCo was about to be attacked. You know what actions I took. Someone informed Rossom that we would be waiting for them. They changed course and hit the Valance Corp instead. Wilson’s ships drove them off, but not before Rossom destroyed the capital city. Now I can see how Ridges is throwing the corporate system into chaos. I believe we will see more attacks on the weaker corporations.”

As Rick spoke, Jennings looked dejected. Rick could tell that he also took it as a personal failure. “Is there anything we can do?”

“We must be vigilant. As of now, we can’t trust the captain’s network. So, it’s all on Wilson’s shoulders. We need to save as many as we can.” As Rick said this, Muraha’s words echoed in his mind.

Rick debated whether he should tell Jennings about the plan Goliath devised in the shuttle. He decided to put it on the back burner for now. “Hobbs has us taken off the situation. He will handle it; we have a diplomatic situation to take care of.”

“Yes Sir.”
