The command deck proved to be two decks up. It wasn’t that different from the command deck of the Dauntless, if slightly more utilitarian, with some of the same sort of vaguely shoddy construction that Scalas had already noted elsewhere on the ship. The holo tank was dark, as were the consoles. The ship was dead.

So was the captain, identifiable by his white uniform. He was strapped into his acceleration couch in front of the holo tank. The laser pistol he had used to burn a hole through one eye and his brain was still clenched in his hand, floating directly in front of his face.

As he looked around the command deck, Scalas fought a growing sense of failure. They hadn’t moved quickly enough, and it looked like the Unity soldiers had denied them the intelligence they so desperately needed. Even though he knew it was probably futile, he pointed to one of the consoles. “Get a portable power cell up here and let’s see if we can read anything off their ship’s computers,” he said heavily. “They probably wiped them before committing suicide, but we have to check, anyway.”

“They might not have,” Granzow pointed out. “If the Challenger’s strike knocked out the power hard enough, they might not have had the chance.”

“We can hope,” Scalas replied. “Though I expect they had enough of a backup power supply to at least make certain of it. Still, we have to be sure.”
