Chapter 13

As it turned out, Monica and Anton were beyond efficient in their construction of the dual modules that would make the buzz ship nearly invisible and impossible to hit. They had the units completed within a day and then set about installing them aboard the starship. The jump module was attached to the focusing rings, helping to manipulate the creation of millions of tiny blackholes during a transit. It would only come into play during sub-light speeds, where it would create a microscopic singularity of intense density, of a level that was impossible for Human technology to accomplish—until now. And although each standard singularity was measured in milliseconds, this one would last only a nano-second. It would be enough to compress surrounding space and cause it to rebound in what appeared to be an instantaneous transaction.

The stealth module was part of the diffusion screen system. It worked by modulating the frequency of surrounding space to fold over selected sections, hiding the starship within these folds. This folding left a traceable disturbance with the Seken technology. Monica and Anton had found a way to wrap that effect into the cloaking field as well, making the ship completely invisible.

To Angus, it was all Greek, and just like so many other technological wonders, he accepted that it worked and moved on. Besides, he had more important things on his mind.

He had a son!

Coming to grips with that reality was nearly all-consuming, which wasn’t a good thing when planning a rescue mission to take place hundreds of light-years behind enemy lines. But it was something he couldn’t ignore. And on top of that, he was concerned about Ashley. She’d gone eerily quiet over the past two days. She still worked with the children—a serious misnomer at this point—yet she didn’t talk to Angus about what this meant for them. He had to shrug. It didn’t mean anything. Anton was no longer a child. He was a REV adult, stronger and more capable than either of his parents. He could take care of himself.

But it was the knowing that muddled up his mind. It was too late to go back and try to form a bond, to be the father he never was. And that wasn’t his fault. He would have been there if he’d known. Ashley? He wasn’t so sure. She had always been a free spirit, whereas Angus was anything but. For most of his adult life, he was a prisoner of the Rev drug NT-4, with no time or ability to think of a future beyond his next maintenance boost. That habit took a long time to break, and even after, he was still cautious about making any long-term plans.

Out of respect—and not wanting to start an argument—Angus left Ashley to her thoughts. If they made it out of this latest adventure alive, she would take the time to sort out her emotions. But for the moment, she was choosing to suppress them. It would be wise for Angus to do the same.
