Ty had been taking in the sights, but not really processing them. There was just too much at stake. Upcoming meetings weighed too much on his mind. Ed could see the concern in Ty’s face and decided some conversation was in order.

“Ty,” he started, “I’m very familiar with your family’s work and I think the possibility of faster-than-light travel is an amazing thing. Amazing.”

Ty’s face became animated, “Thank you, Ed, but it really isn’t just a possibility. FTL is going to happen. As I’m sure you know by now, that’s why I’m here. I have to convince the Senate that what my parents were doing wasn’t just a dream and that what happened to them and the StarDancer was just a delay. I must not let the Senate decide to discontinue the grant. It can really happen, FTL that is. Just curious, Ed, my brother is here too. Are you familiar with Alec?”

“Actually,” Ed replied, “I’m familiar with all of you. I need to be, part of my job you kn—” Ed abruptly cut off his sentence. His eyes rapidly scanned the cockpit.

“Ty,” he said with just a hint of concern, “we’ll be making a short detour. Please, brace yourself.” Before Ed had even finished his sentence, the vehicle made a sharp turn, nose over tail. The half loop left the roof facing the ground. Almost instantaneously, the ship flipped back onto its belly, so the roof now pointed skyward. Ty was thrown violently against the roof and then back into his seat.

“What the—!” Ty screamed.

“I’m truly sorry, Ty. Seems we have a little emergency we need to attend to and quite quickly. Your brother Alec just activated his homing beacon. I’m afraid he’s in need of assistance.”

“Assistance? What do you mean assistance?”

Ed wove through traffic, dodging vehicles in his way, “Well, I don’t know exactly what type of help he needs, but he does need it—right now. Ahhhh, nice stretch of open road finally. Hold on. We’re going up!”
