Petra and Kory rode the rest of the way to the docks in silence. Both agents and the AI kept an eye peeled for any sign of attack, skipping through networks and keeping in constant contact with the Hand agents spread across the asteroid.
By the time they reached the dock concourse, Petra was all but itching with anticipation, wishing the attack would just come so they could get it over with.
They exited the car and began the walk down the long concourse, both watching the Impera Protego stationed at regular intervals, waiting for one of them to raise their weapon and kick things off. Petra couldnât tell if it was her imagination or not, but she couldnât help but feel that the imperial guards had a more menacing posture than when theyâd arrived.
As they rounded a bend, she caught sight of their shuttleâs berth and saw two of the imperial guards standing on either side of the entrance.
<Well that looks ominous. Are they aware of the attack on me? Is this a protective measure?> she asked.
<Nothing on their comm network leads me to believe that theyâre aware you were spiked,> Alastar said. <The empress is still in the Atlior Pacel, eating her ice cream and as at ease as she ever is, so I doubt she set her guards on you.>
<Which means thereâs no legitimate reason for them to be there,> Kory surmised.
<Just because sheâs casually eating ice cream doesnât mean sheâs not messing with me. It wouldnât be the first time.>
No one spoke further as they closed the distance to the ship. When the two Hand agents were a few meters from the airlock, the guards stepped in front of the portal, blocking their forward progress.
âWell?â Petra drew herself up, trying to look as intimidating as a person could while covered in white feathers. âIs there something I can help you with?â
Neither guard responded. Petra was considering shoving them aside when a voice spoke from behind them.
âYou certainly can.â
Via the drones sheâd deployed, Petra saw an Impera Protego captain step through a doorway across the concourse, and stride across the deck toward her and Kory.
Having no trouble adopting an annoyed expression, she turned and folded her arms across her chest. âYouâd best make it quick, then, Captain. I have places to be.â
<The six imperials in our line of sight have just turned safeties off on their weapons,> Alastar advised, his voice tinged with worry.
<We have two shooters of our own on the concourse, but theyâre several hundred meters away,> Kory added. <Trying to move them up without giving anything away.>
âYou do,â the captain, a tall, raven-haired man, agreed. âBut not anywhere you have our empressâs ear.â
âI serve at her pleasure,â Petra replied, her voice measured and calm. âAnd on the orders of my superiors.â
âPerhaps.â The man stopped three meters from Petra. âBut we know that youâre really just a manipulative bitch. Between you and that thing in her head, the empress is little more than a puppet.
