Minutes later, the Displacer’s interdimensional corridor came alive. The Prototype and his ships neared their exit from Helios space.

“They had us, Lieutenant,” Inquisitor Raven said. “But I’ll be damned if you’re wrong. They are running away. Are they that scared of Saint Vulcan?”

Lieutenant Sanders scanned through messages coming from Helios and the ships around her.

“There’s no indication Saint Vulcan has any other forces nearby.”

“She did something to spook them,” Inquisitor Raven said.

“Inquisitor Raven?” Chief Muses said of the communicator.

“Yes Carlos?” Inquisitor Raven replied.

“Sir, I know I just told you the engines were… well…”

“What?”

“I’m… I’m getting some very weird readings. I’ll forward you the information.”

Inquisitor Raven looked at a side monitor.

The power levels in the ship’s main batteries, damaged as they were from the alien vessels’ assault, now showed signs of improvement.

“Chief Muses,” Inquisitor Raven said into the communicator. “You are a miracle worker!”

“I’d gladly take the honors, Bill, but I can’t explain any of this,” Chief Muses said. “We’ve got a skeleton staff left here and what we’ve done is minimal. We didn’t touch the batteries. At all.”

“What about the thrusters?”

There was a pause.

“I’ll be,” Chief Muses said. “I’m detecting minor improvements there, too. We’re getting back some of the directional thrusters. This shouldn’t be happening.”

“Figure out what’s going on,” Inquisitor Raven said. “At this point I welcome any miracles but I want answers.”

“Yes sir,” Chief Muses replied.

Inquisitor Raven shut the communicator down and addressed Lieutenant Sanders.

“Use whatever propulsion we have available to slow us down.”
