Onboard the Apophis, Lacuna had gone to find new clothes to wear while Boomer stayed on the bridge. The ship was in hyperspace, heading toward Kregan Prime.

“Why are we going to the heart of the Kregan Empire again?” asked Boomer.

“I’ve extrapolated the ship’s position provided by Lacuna,” said Mira, “and they’re all heading toward the main planet. At first I thought Xonax’s ship was going somewhere else, but they made a small detour and then took a similar heading.”

“So every ship we’ve fought will be in one place. That’s gonna make things a little harder for us, with only one ancient destroyer, won’t it?”

“Yes, we’ll have to stay hidden while we try to locate Kevin.”

“I wonder why the Kregan ship made that detour.”

“Perhaps they needed to pick something up or drop something off. Or just re-arm.”

Boomer thought about it. “What if it has something to do with Athala, though?”

“That’s an interesting hypothesis, what makes you think that?”

“That Xonax dude clearly isn’t trustworthy, and he didn’t give the princess’ sister back, even when he got his hands on Kevin. So it would make sense for him to either check on his prize or go grab her from wherever she was being held.”

“Do you think we should inform Kalliopy?”

“I don’t know. I mean, I’m reaching at straws here, she might not be there.”

“But what if she is?”

“Let Ziron know that we think this world could be of interest and let them decide what course of action to take. We need to stay focused on finding Kevin anyway, so if all the ships are converging toward Kregan Prime, then that’s where we should be as well.”

“Agreed. Boomer, I’m detecting some strange energy readings on deck four. Would you mind taking a look for me?”

“Could it be Lacuna? Looking for a uniform?”

“She’s on deck seven, so I don’t think so.”

“Alright, I’ll check it out.”

“Can I ask you something before you go?”

“Sure, what is it?”

“Why are you still in tiger form?”

“I don’t know, I feel like I need to be ready for anything, you know? Maybe I’m a little afraid of doing this without Kevin. Or maybe I’m being a little paranoid. Do you think I’m using too much power this way?”

“Keeping this form will tax your power cell a little, but it’s the transformations themselves as well as firing of weapons and using the shields that really drain them, so I don’t think you have to revert to your original form if you don’t feel like it.”

“Good, because these old ships give me the creeps, and I feel less vulnerable in this form.”

“That’s understandable. Remember you can probably only transform into three or four different forms maximum, and they can only be quadrupeds. This armor isn’t nearly as powerful as the one you used before.”

“No wings?”

“Nope, you can’t fly with this one, I’m afraid.”

“That’s a bummer, the dragon was my favorite form.”

“Yeah, and nothing that big either, you’d risk running out of juice really fast. Be careful on deck four.”

“Roger that.”
