Chapter Eight

Having Lacey help her was a godsend. It had been bad enough for her when Doros was tending to her, but something about Lacey in Buddy’s body was just fine. It felt normal.

The days flew by, and she kept her focus on the details of the array’s condition. Doros kept her aware of course corrections, and they focused on the journey, not the warships heading toward them.

He left to work out a lot. She guessed that their situation as sitting ducks was stressful.

Their speed had reached maximum velocity on day one, so they just had to boost a little after-course corrections to keep the pace steady.

Lacey remained next to her. “He is handling it better than I thought he would.”

“You thought he would have a problem?”

“He is interested in you, you know. You are under no obligation to reciprocate, but he does care for you. I am an intrusion.”

Windy sighed. “I know. Part of it is that I am the only available human woman he has seen in years, and part of it is his caretaker complex.”

“And part of it is that you are a genuinely strong woman with a wicked sense of humour and staggering companionship issues.”

“And no boobs. They haven’t shown up yet. I used to have a really nice rack and now... poof!”

Lacey laughed. “If that is all, that can easily be rectified.”

“Not without a high-calorie diet.”

“It still can be fixed. You are delicate, and you were paralyzed and nearly dead. Give yourself some recovery time.”

Windy huffed. “It has been weeks!”

“This kind of recovery, if it happened at all, would have taken years. Those ladies might never have gotten their boobs back.” Lacey’s voice speaking through Buddy’s body was no-nonsense.

Windy laughed. “I am sure that was their primary concern.”

“You never know.”

Windy groaned and flexed her feet. “I don’t blame him for getting fidgety. I am a little tired of being stuck on the command deck myself.”

Lacey nodded. “We are in the last twenty-four hours. You will soon be walking the surface of Alguth. It’s a nice-looking place.”

Windy looked at Buddy’s body in surprise. “You have been there?”

“I am there. I needed someplace safe while I sent myself into Buddy, and I know what parts of the continent are uninhabited.”

“So, I will see you?” Windy probably sounded as needy as she felt.

“Nope. I am going to be on my way the moment you are safe. Frankly, I have my own body issues right now that I don’t want you to worry about.”

“Like what?”

“I will explain them later. There is a lot to do to make ourselves a new home away from Earth, and I am on it.”

“You are looking at finding us a new world?”

“Well, there aren’t many of us, and we aren’t really going to breed much, so just something small where we can have a base and those who wish can still hunt the Splice.”

“I hadn’t really thought about where we would go.”

“I have given it a lot of thought, and I have a plan.”

“Have you told Alphy?”

Lacey snorted.
