Chapter Twenty

Sonic Shuttle

Second job, same as the first. Clear a space station of an infestation. It would be a three-hour trip to the Ludite Space Station, so the crew took the chance to get acquainted with the new gear. Sam couldn’t take her eyes or hands off her sword. She converted the loading bay into a practice range, hacking the hell out of stacks of crates she used to simulate her enemies.

Reggie took the pulse Gatling gun. He was probably the only one strong enough to use it. It wasn’t terribly bulky, and it fit comfortably on his back, but it was heavy as hell. The gun housed its own miniature pulse engine. He practiced moving with it—running, climbing, going from a defensive to offensive position—but he didn’t dare fire it inside Sonic since he couldn’t risk harming the old girl. She wasn’t as strong as she used to be.

Joel opted for a belt of grenades and a scatterblaster. They’d stocked up on more elemental grenades but chose some new flavors as well. He couldn’t wait to try them out. The scatterblaster was brutal but elegant at the same time. It could tear apart an enemy at close range, or blast several at medium. It was the perfect weapon to fight off a swarming horde. It also had an auto-reloader and a user-friendly interface for changing ammunition types.

Cody took to a pair of blaster pistols. Both were ornate pieces, a set by the looks of them, but not identical; the designs were complementary. They fired standard blaster ammunition, but could also be modded to fire other types, like elemental, scatter, and stun ammo. They came with a belt and holsters. He felt like a cowboy as soon as he strapped them on.

Knowing that the two pistols would only be effective up close, and still limited in their kill capacity even then, Cody also chose a sniper rifle. He was the best long-range gunner on the team…at least in Return to Order team deathmatches. The rifle came as a compact, rectangular unit. With the press of the button, the stock and barrel extended from the unit, becoming a functional weapon. It sported up to twenty times zoom, atmospheric reading, targeting assist and night vision. With this beauty, Cody would serve as one hell of a spotter and long-range assist.

“Coming up on Ludite Station,” he said after an alert from the nav computer sounded on his wristcom. “Ten minutes.”

The team strapped up.

It was amazing for Reggie to think that they had been in this same position just two days before when they approached Station 12. The difference was astounding. He didn’t feel the same fear in the back of his head. He still had the flutter in his belly, but that was no different than the one he got before every game. There was a confidence in his stance now, in the way he loaded his weapon, in the way he marched toward the exit ramp. He felt like he belonged here now, like he had earned his stripes.
