MICAH

We remained in the archives long after the others left, with Ziggy choosing bottles at random to stare into to summon the woo. Unfortunately, hours later, we were still no closer to tracking down our culprit.

It didn’t help that every time he dipped into the collective well, the Planet Eater was lurking, sometimes silently, sometimes not. I tried to determine if there was a pattern—if their aggression was related to how close we were to identifying them—but then Ziggy pointed out it seemed to be my presence pissing them off the most.

The feeling is mutual, asshole.

Eventually, it was time for Pedro to be put down for the night, and I was the obvious choice for dad duties. Leaving Zig behind to continue his search, I first stopped at the underground bazaar to feed us both before bringing our alien baby back to the Lodger for their bedtime routine.

Which is a mission in itself…

After Pedro finally settled down in their kimono nest—contentedly gnawing on their favorite metallic rattle—I tiptoed to the cockpit for a routine upgrade of the ship’s operating systems.

Because there’s always room for improvement!

My other reason was to keep myself out of Ziggy’s hair. While it had been beyond amazing to join him for a front-row seat to the birth of several galaxies, it was my big mouth that had angered the lurking Planet Eater.

What can I say?

I’m a sassy yapper.

I sent periodic bursts of encouragement as we both worked, but otherwise left my man alone to concentrate, trusting he’d reach out if he needed anything.

He’d better.

I was just finishing up a test module for miniaturizing cargo to save on storage space—since Zig’s weapon collection needed to make way for a baby eventually—when the Lodger’s communicator flashed with an incoming call.

“Hey, Honnor…” I distractedly answered the call before realizing I probably should have let it go to space voicemail.

“Why are you in the Lodger, Micah?” They peered at me through the hologram. “And why is Ziggy not answering his Celestial Cube?"

Eek!

Instead of saying something stupid—like confessing we’d snuck to Apotelesma and angered an ancient celestial entity—I called upon my mad half-truth-telling skills as the child of an extremely volatile parent.

“We decided to take Pedro into orbit as a treat,” I breezily replied. “It was Ziggy’s idea, actually.”

Nothing to see here…

Honnor sighed. “Why do I get the impression our new Interstellar Ambassador does not care for his prestigious title or high-rise accommodations?”

I chose my words carefully. “It’s just… Zig likes to do his own thing, ya know?”

This time, his maker hummed affectionately. “Indeed he does. I was disappointed at first that Ziggy rejected this Head Commander position, but I am proud of the path he has chosen. Between you and me, he is a natural born leader, no matter his role with Astrum Force.”

“Yeah, he still manages to inspire others as a mercenary-turned-Ambassador, despite his best efforts,” I laughed. “But I think he’s starting to realize he does have hero vibes after all.”

Good thing.

Because I was about to spank it into him.
