“All systems coming up,” I announced as I dove into the pilot’s chair. “You know, you could have at least run a pre-flight check before you got captured.”

“We’re fortunate I had an opportunity to reinstall the fuel rods,” Raxyl replied mildly. “Perhaps next time you should consider reasoning with your brain rather than your genitals.”

I sighed and glanced back over my shoulder to Kaveri. She had settled into the lone passenger seat, and I suddenly had second thoughts about allowing an apparent psychic assassin to sit behind me with a plasma rifle in her lap.

“If I wanted you dead, you would already be floating outside the window,” she said without looking at me. Her luminescent eyes were narrowed in concentration. Was she trying to sense something with her psionic powers? “How do you plan to deal with their tractor beams?”

“We will not have to,” Raxyl said as his control board finally lit up. “This is not a military installation. Their tractor beams are designed to move cargo from one hanger to another, not incapacitate starships.”

“Those doors are a bigger problem,” I said, glancing at the enormous double thorotine doors sealing us into the hangar. “I have a sinking feeling that their control tower isn’t going to just open them for us.”

Kaveri grimaced. “Open a channel. I might be able to persuade them.”

“Not without flashing your tits at them,” I growled. “Just hold on.”

The instant the engines came online, I retracted the landing gears and transferred all shield power to the forward grid. This wasn’t going to be pretty…

“For the record, I disapprove of this plan in advance,” Raxyl said.

“Noted,” I said. “Here goes nothing.”

I grabbed the flight stick and squeezed the trigger. A barrage of blue-white energy bolts erupted from our cannons and pounded the doors. Alarms screamed throughout the hangar, and an emergency containment field flashed into place to keep the station from decompressing altogether. But the field itself couldn’t hold us, and when the metal finally crumpled I punched the throttle. We shot out of the hangar like a torpedo.

“Echu tari,” Kaveri breathed from behind us. “Are you insane?”

“Considering I just watched helpless Velothi slave girl dismantle a half dozen Convectorate mechs with her mind…yeah, probably.” I grit my teeth as I twisted the flight stick and threw us into a tight roll along the station’s superstructure. “Please tell me we don’t have a Vec battleship waiting for us out there.”

“There are no obviously hostile targets on the tac-holo,” Raxyl said. “This must have been a small operation. That, or they were simply attempting to keep this quiet.”

“Regardless, we can’t possibly get away this easily.”

The words had no sooner escaped my lips before the tac-holo warbled a proximity warning. As we pulled away from the station at top speed, I risked a quick glance down to see the readouts scroll across the cabin HUD.

“More reclaimator drones,” I hissed.

“And no asteroid field in which to evade them,” Raxyl added sourly. “They will be in firing range in twenty-one seconds.”

Kaveri leaned forward and grabbed the back of my chair.
