Between wrangling minor disputes between refugees, assigning quarters, and attempting to help locate missing family members from the Xathi attacks, lately I’d spent every moment of any spare time in the labs with Evie.

General Rouhr had said he’d give us as much time as possible to find a cure for the hybrids, but we all knew the clock was ticking.

Medical science and chemistry weren’t my strong suits, so I’d enlisted Leena to assist Evie. With both of their capable hands, it was easier to run tests and analyze data, and I could wash bottles, carry, and fetch.

Anything to help.

Already, Leena had a few ideas. I didn’t understand much of the technical talk, but essentially, Leena had a list of adjustments she could make to the synthetic chemicals she’d created to make them more efficient and effective than the naturally occurring brain chemicals Evie was experimenting with.

Evie and Leena made a fantastic team. They’d shared a lab on the Vengeance and were already accustomed to working with each other.

On Fen’s recommendation, I’d brought in a Urai scientist named Glint, who had conducted several in-depth studies on the Xathi before landing on our planet.

Glint wasn’t one for conversation, but from the excited chatter of Evie and Leena, she knew what she was doing and had filled in a missing piece of the puzzle.

At the moment, she was creating simulations on what a hybrid’s brain chemistry looked like in various stages of infection. Once those simulations were complete, Leena and Evie could test their work.

The trio worked in harmony while I sat off to the side fidgeting, wishing there was more I could do.

“So, how long until we have a cure?” It’d been hours, at least, since I’d asked.

Evie sighed heavily and glared at me.

“If you ask me that one more time, I’m banning you from the lab. You know full well that this sort of thing doesn’t run on a schedule. I could have a breakthrough in five minutes or five months.”

I understood her testiness. There was a lot resting on her shoulders now.

“I know, I know.” I put my hands up in surrender.

“It’s actually not a bad thing that the hybrids keep flinging themselves at the sonic barrier, you know,” Leena commented mildly. “Certainly, doesn’t hurt that we have a steady supply of samples for testing.”

“Leena,” Evie gasped.

The chemist just shrugged. “You know I’m right. We can’t work blind, and being soft-hearted isn’t going to solve anything.”

I could see that Evie didn’t like it, but we all knew the truth. We needed every advantage we could possibly get, even if it was a tad… grisly.

“I don’t understand why they’re doing it, though,” Leena added. “You’d think after they saw one die, they’d stop.”

“I don’t think they can control it.” Evie would know better than any of us. Not long ago, she’d nearly lost her mind to the Xathi queen.

It still boggled my mind. “Then why would the Xathi queen force them into a barrier that would kill them? She must have realized she can’t get to us.
