A short time later, Ginny and Tigh reclaimed the bridge. Tigh brought in a few members of his bridge crew to relieve some of the ladies, but he and Ginny were both wary now, unable to trust any of the jit’suku crew members completely.

Their fears proved out a few minutes later when Krysta erupted from her seat at the nav console and grabbed her co-worker by the throat. She lifted him off his feet and into the air, using all her martial arts skill and what Tigh now realized had to be a cybernetic arm of some sort. The man flailed, unable to breathe as she held him with superior strength of an implanted arm that looked very realistic otherwise.

“What is it?” Ginny demanded.

“He just tried to reroute com through his panel, ma’am.” Krysta spoke fast, fending off the man’s attempts to dislodge her mechanical arm. “He’s one of the conspirators.”

“Stuff him in the brig!” Tigh surged to his feet, as those loyal to him moved in.

It took several men to subdue the navigator fully, taking the burden of the big man from Krysta. Tigh watched with grim approval as they secured his hands and dragged him from the bridge. Tigh then turned to the female navigator as he reclaimed his seat. The sad truth was he was still weak from the poison and needed to sit.

“Are you certain, Ensign?”

“Yes, Your Majesty. When I took over at nav, I noticed we’ve been on a very strange course. While on this station for the past hour or so, I traced the navigator’s logs and realized he was taking us on a circuitous route. I thought at first, it was a security measure, but now, I suspect it was so we could be in ambush position when the doctor gassed everyone.”

“Can you plot us a faster course, Krys?” Ginny asked.

The ensign nodded. “Aye, aye, ma’am.”

“I think we ought to get to Solaris Prime as soon as possible, don’t you?” Ginny asked Tigh as she stood at the side of his command chair.

“I think you’re right, my love. The sooner we get home, the better.”
