Chapter Ten

Heldun Und Rorg was a low-level navigation specialist, only recently promoted to a station on Command Deck. It was a minor station, hidden in a flock of a hundred similar interfaces, nearly a quarter mile from the crag of the captain's chair.

Rippling sheets of color were still flaring across the vast transparent dome covering Command Deck. The hooting of alarms had been turned off but the warning colors remained as a reminder that the Albagens Pride was still under attack.

Rorg glanced up at the star fields that arched over the deck. The view was spectacular. The great glowing flag of the galaxy's lens, called by the locals the Milky Way, covered a good part of the visible sky.

But coming in over that vast arch of stars were tiny flashing lights barely visible.

The attackers were former allies, the escort left behind to help secure Sol System from Hunzzan attack until a larger blocking force could arrive from Alba. But their orders had changed, and now they flung themselves at the armored might of the Pr/de. Rorg knew they were doomed, except for one thing: Her orders had changed also.

She lowered her gaze from the dome to the party now making its way in the distance. It was a small group, but she recognized the familiar figure of the captain, Korkal Emut Denai, in the lead. Directly behind him were two humans and a Hunzza. A small group of guards made a screen around them as they walked. Rorg showed a flicker of fang as she stared at the Hunzza.

The group was about a third of the way in from the entrance to Command Deck, moving slowly in the general direction of tain's chair.

The captain was talking with the male human, one - she thought his name was Jim - was making a reply. He his hands as he spoke. She sensed his urgency, even if she understand his gestures.

She reached up and unplugged the cable from her socke! Glanced around to see if anybody had noticed her disconnection the navigation networks, but her supervisor was busy with station. She reached into a pocket of her jumper and felt the molded lump there. It nestled in her hand as if it had been made so, which it had.

She did not know Park Ling Mundel at all. She had no idea immediate source of her orders. But they had come with all the activation codes and so she had no choice about obeying Shortly after she'd received them something had happened. She still not sure exactly what. But something had changed heart of the ship's controls. For a period of time it had almost that something else had taken charge of the Albagens Pride. She bit fuzzy about exactly what. Her own memories seemed to several blank spots.

But within a few minutes the situation had changed again. Appeared that the captain, Korkal Emut Denai, was once again in control.

So her mission was still active. At least she thought it was her sion though there was now an odd feeling of strangeness about instructions.
