Adeema

I have to read the announcement several times before its meaning sinks in.

The kruul’s triad and their mate have been overthrown by a cricka, which is sort of like the alligators down on earth, except they’re bipedal, can talk, and they're about three times bigger. Capable of intelligent thought, they're not only colonizers, but known for forcing their captives to perform for them incessantly until they collapse. At which point they are usually eaten.

By them, of course.

Owiin comes barging in the door carrying our mate, and we all fall into emergency protocol. We don't need to communicate what needs to be done, we simply follow behind Owiin into the hidden door each residence unit is equipped with, dropping into an escape pod.

We’re in, buckled, and departing before the danger gets too close to us, but I don't think any of us actually breathe until the space station is far in the distance and we're able to cloak ourselves.

“What the actual fuck is happening?”

Now that we can no longer be tracked, I’m able to hold my mate and assure myself that she is safe. I embrace her immediately, relief filling me that we got her out in time. “Change of leadership on the space station,” I offer. “It would have been too dangerous to stay.” Our escape pod isn't much more than a vaguely oval-shaped vehicle with only the barest of necessities.

A closet of a facility room for processing and destroying the waste our bodies might emit, emergency food rations to last us a week, a small computer system, and a bed to lay comfortably in while traveling.

“I must be cursed. That's what's happening, isn't it? Somebody cursed me on earth, and I've brought that bad luck up here with me. If I had known, I might have tried to spare you. I bet you it was that barista at the corner coffee shop. I swear to you she purposely messed up my order, so I’d be inconvenienced and have to go back in in order to get it fixed. She always had this stink eye thing going on when I walked in.”

Kass is wrapped around her leg like some sort of clingy animal, shaking slightly. He doesn't do well with loud noises.

I watch with affection as our mate mindlessly pats him on the head, maybe treating him more like a pet than a mate, but it seems to be working, nonetheless.

“You are not cursed, Margaret,” Owiin says gruffly. “We must believe that fate has a reason for bringing you into our lives when they did, and I firmly believe there's a reason we had to go through all the confusion of the last few days. It's going to teach us something valuable, we just have to be patient to figure out what.”

She takes a deep, calming breath. “Okay, so how long are we stuck in this thing? Do we have a plan? Where are we even going?”

“We could simply go where we were already planning on going before,” Owiin suggests. “If it doesn't work out, we can try somewhere else.
