Chapter Nine

Operational leader Sam was gritting his teeth as he stared at his computer terminal. His nerves were beginning to get the better of him. Watching the screen, he wondered how significant the Alpha Ship One was. He had decided to put a tracker on the ship, observing its route and marking its projected course. But Sam was flabbergasted when he saw the ship turning a hundred-and-eighty-degrees, and making its way back toward Earth.

At first, Sam didn’t think much of it. Maybe the ship had finally heard about the ruckus that had occurred at Sector Eight. But then Sam’s intuition had pestered him into checking the ship’s flight logs. Every ship that contained a tracker onboard was also an open book when it came to checking previous flights. All Sam had to do was turn back a slider on the program and observe the ship’s previous flight paths and rest locations.

What surprised the operational leader the most was the fact that the ship had actually emanated from Sector Eight. And the timestamp on the ship log confirmed that the ship had vacated the area as soon as the trouble had commenced. So it didn’t make much sense to Sam that the ship was meandering its way back toward the planet. Unless, of course, it was just flying past it. Neither the former or the latter could be proven until the ship reached Earth. But Sam was determined to make sure that he kept a watchful eye on the mysterious Alpha Ship One.

“Is the ship turning around?” Maddie asked.

She was standing behind Sam, much like he had been standing behind her half an hour previously. Sam swiveled in his chair and faced her.

“It looks that way. There’s something off about that ship. I can feel it in my gut. Something is going on,” Sam said, swiveling back in his chair and facing his computer terminal.

Sam battered the keyboard with his fingertips for a few minutes. Maddie watched on as he searched the archives of the mysterious Alpha Ship One. A strange thing was occurring though. Every time he searched for the ship and its previous mission logs, an access denied message appeared on the screen.

Sam was one of the most high-ranking members of the Pilgrim Tech, at least in the office currently, and should have been able to access every single log from every single ship that formed a cohesive part of Earth’s fleet, be it commercial or otherwise. But the computer wasn’t allowing him access to Alpha Ship One’s records. And that just made Sam’s suspicions stronger.

“What do you think the deal is with this ship?” Sam said, turning back to face Maddie who was deep in thought.

She looked at him, surprised by his question. He wasn’t usually one to ask her advice, especially since she was just an office worker, and didn’t hold much clout when it came to a position on the all elusive corporate ladder.

“Well sir, I definitely think something strange is going on here. Maybe you should ask the bosses on the top floor why the Alpha Ship One has VIP access?” She said.
