Chapter Fifteen

A massive, dark shape floated up ahead in the distance. It would have been almost hidden in the blackness of space if it weren’t for the illumination of large lights that shone along its hull.

“Is that the station?” Chiyo asked as she donned the Dead Space crew helmet.

“It looks like it,” Kaiden replied as he adjusted his own stolen uniform and closed the visor. “It’s not shooting at us on sight, which is both nice and a sign that my plan has worked well so far. We should be good—”

“We’re being hailed,” she stated.

Kaiden’s head dropped as he sighed. “Unless they want to identify us personally. There’s that too.”

“Should I bring it on screen?” Genos asked.

Kaiden nodded. “Make sure to send the codes you recovered so it looks authentic. Activate voice modulation, Chief,” he ordered, stood, and walked to the center of the bay.

A holoscreen appeared and displayed a balding man with a salt-and-pepper beard in a black and red uniform and beanie on screen. “What are you doing back so soon, BAT-3? You’re still supposed to be on patrol. What happened to the ship that came into our borders?”

“We took it out,” Kaiden stated, his voice rougher and shallow like he had spent the last two weeks smoking and yelling his lungs out every night. “Was able to recover some goods, too, but we were pegged in the front hull. Emergency shutters were activated but we need repairs.”

“I thought you said that thing was a hunk of junk.” The pirate chuckled. “Yet it was still able to get a shot at you. How the hell did a jackass like you get a ship?”

“You have my files. Look up my list of accomplishments,” Kaiden retorted and folded his arms. “Keep yapping and I might make you a footnote.”

The pirate sneered and looked at Chiyo. “Can you vouch for this guy?”

She nodded. “There were some difficulties but nothing that we couldn’t handle,” she explained, her own voice raspy and brittle. “We were caught off guard with the firepower, but like he said, we have some loot to show for it.”

The man placed a pinky in his ear and wiggled it as he thought. “Fine, opening hanger eighteen. Get in there and be ready for someone to debrief you.”

“Hop to it,” Kaiden ordered and glanced at Genos, who nodded and deactivated the holoscreen.

“Go ahead and get ready,” Kaiden said to Chiyo. “I’m not sure how long we can fool them like this. If that guy is one of their best, I wouldn’t be too worried, but let’s pretend that they aren’t all that lazy and prepare to fight if need be. I’ll handle the debriefing while you and Genos take notes and download schematics or whatever you can do in the meantime.” Kaiden looked at the Tsuna. “How far to the bay?”

“Usually, in stations like these, the repairs would be done on the lower decks. But they have either rearranged the hangers or they don’t know what they are doing,” Genos said.
