The Osprey lingered near the outer edge of the asteroid belt. Nothing stood between the shelter of her massive shuttle-bay doors and the limping shuttles, except a thousand kilometers of space.

In other words, a killing field.

“Powering up shields.” A high note of panic crept into Occy’s voice as the shuttles, the Alpha-Seeker, and the two remaining Creeper fighters soared out of the belt. The boy had kept his head quite well in past battles and drills—but for the first time, he was staring down the whole complicated operation of war without Jaeger or Toner over his shoulder.

“We’re not equipped to pass through the Osprey’s energy shields,” Portia reported, cucumber-cool. “We’ll fry if we try.”

Jaeger gritted her teeth. Barely a few minutes had passed since she pressed the big red button, and already the synthetic adrenaline was draining from her system, leaving her feeling hollow and dizzy. The stuff was dangerous. “Occy, get ready to drop the shields long enough for the shuttles to get to the docking bay. Coordinate landing with the shuttles. I’ll hold the fighters off.”

“Are you crazy?” Toner cried. “You’re outnumbered and without any cover!”

Like he had any right to accuse. Jaeger eyed the red button, knowing full well that even if she could override the fighter’s auto-shutoff, another shot of epinephrine right now would, quite literally, make her heart explode.

“The shuttles are sitting ducks,” Jaeger growled, shoving the button out of her mind and banking the Alpha-Seeker into a wide arc. “Get back to the Osprey.” She sprayed a line of concentrated plasma bursts across the stars. They all went wild, of course, but did their job. The formation of the pursuing fighters locked onto her and split away from the shuttles.

Toner was right about one thing. She needed cover.

Heart thudding in her throat, Jaeger let her consciousness sink into the Alpha-Seeker’s navigational computer, and with enemy fire skating off her hull, plunged back into the asteroid belt.
