âWhy do you call them zombies,â Boom asked, as they headed back to the bridge.
âThereâs a show on Earth called The Walking Dead,â Tiger said. âAnd a bunch of other shows and movies about zombies, actually. I can shoot you a copy to watch, if you want, but they are basically about dead bodies walking andââ Tiger half stoppedâ âI donât know where the name zombies came from.â
Boom knew the movies were not real, that they were people playing the parts. What theyâd seen, that had been real.
âThe dead,â he said slowly, âwalking?â
âThat would explain why there are no life signs,â Hedy began when Roy interrupted her just as the hatch to the bridge opened in front of them.
âI found two life signs,â it said. âNear a crash site.â It paused. âThere is a distress beacon too. I believe it is the signal weâve been tracking.â
âWhat? Why are we just seeing life signs right now?â Hedy asked, striding up to the screen instead of sitting down. Dillon started to rise, but she waved him back down.
âThe distress signal is weak,â Roy said. âAnd the life signs, they are weak as well.â
âCrap,â Hedy said.
âCanât argue with that, maâam,â Tiger said.
âI am detecting another contact attempt,â Roy said, his tone almost like someone sitting up abruptly. âThis contact attempt is coming from the zombie city.â
âRoy,â Hedyâs voice was almost too calm. âCut off our contact with the probe.â
âDeploy firewalls,â Boom added.
âCaptain?â Roy sounded puzzled.
âUntil we can be sure there are no viral intrusions from the contact,â Hedy explained.
âOh. Contact severed and quarantined.â
Then, inside Boomâs mind, Roy spoke. âFirewalls are the bomb.â
Boom blinked.
