Chapter Twenty-Two
âWhy did you do that?â Commander Dard asked as soon as they were alone in their makeshift cell. âBetray the Terant like that?â
Vort took a seat and looked up at his second-in-command. âWe had no chance of escaping then, and given the mood of the crew, their people murdered before their eyes, it would have been a foolâs gambit to hide somewhere in the ship and hope for another opportunity to present itself. The rodents would have been wrathful, and weâd have paid for it eventually.â
âBut still, you killed Rath,â Dard argued. âI thought you wanted his help.â
The captain chuckled. âBut he did help us, Commander. He killed the mechanoid the Furlorians have pinned their hope on to help them find the Federation. Now, that dream is dead, and we have more time before they find their way to them, extending our lives.â He grinned, patting Dard on the shoulder.
âHe also likely earned us a bit of good will with regards to the rodents, seeing how we stopped Rath before he could do more harm. And better stillâ¦â he stated, pulling a bolt pistol out from behind him and grinning, âhis death provided cover so I could procure this.â
Dard stared at the weapon, wide-eyed. âWhere did youââ
âI pulled it off one of the Furlorians escorting us back to our cell,â he answered, returning the gun to its hiding place. âNow, we are not quite so helpless when our next opportunity to escape presents itself.â
âAnd thatâs likely to be soon, seeing how the Furlorians have yet to realize thereâs a tracker on board.â
âPrecisely, Commander. Now, we sit and wait while the rodents flail and whine and try to find their way to safety without the androidâs assistance.â He chuckled and leaned his back against the wall, attempting to get comfortable. âItâs only a matter of time now.â
Vort sighed. âMaybe I can even leverage our good deed for better accommodations.â
