Alien Battleship #2

Timmons held Sue tightly as he walked carefully down the outside hull of the alien spaceship that they had designated a battleship. It sported numerous gun turrets on its bulk.

Shonna teetered as the ship lurched beneath her.

Timmons stopped and crouched. The battleship began to move, slowly at first, but it quickly picked up speed. The artificial gravity within the ship helped, but they were still on the outside of a moving starship. What if it sailed out of the system? What if it gated? Could they survive being outside as the ship passed over the event horizon?

Questions flashed through the engineers’ minds as the ship moved out of the blockade and started running from one of the string of ships to the other. It banked and began a long arc as it turned toward the flashes of light that were the cargo fleet parked at the edge of the heliosphere.

“Well now,” Shonna started. “Ain’t this a shit sandwich.”

“Deep-fried with extra shit,” Merrit replied.

“We need to get inside, maybe stop this pig before it goes into battle with the good guys. That’s our new mission. No one will know if this thing gets destroyed from the inside or the outside as it closes with the War Axe. We have to make sure that it’s dead before the Axe kills it.”

“And us,” Sue added needlessly.

Timmons stepped carefully forward, making sure to always have one boot locked onto the hull before moving the other. “There,” he said, pointing.

Shonna didn’t reply, keeping her focus on walking across the battleship as it accelerated toward the stars.
