Chapter Twenty

Daisy pushed the last of her supplies into the small craft and climbed into the cockpit.

Flight system is stable, chute and thrusters are primed, Daisy noted. Okay. This is it. Time to go.

She keyed the door system and sealed herself in. Donovan and Bob would pick her up momentarily and drag her to her launch point.

“Fatima,” Mal quietly said over secure comms. “I have prepared the containers for relocation to Dark Side’s facilities.”

“Thank you, Mal,” she replied. “We will move the subjects from your bio lab into the base after Daisy has launched.”

“Very well,” the AI answered. “I think that all went about as well as could be expected, don’t you?”

“Yes, I do. Very well, indeed,” Fatima said as she walked back toward the command center to join the others monitoring the launch.

The flight to the debris field was slow, as it always was when one had to essentially mimic drifting wreckage, and a good hour had passed by the time Daisy finally reached her launch point.

“Okay, Daisy. Ready when you are,” Donovan said over their linked comms. “Just give the word.”

She took a deep breath and double-checked her guidance settings. With the most minimal of electronics, there was always a window for Mr. Murphy to make an appearance. Daisy was not a fan of his law and hoped to avoid it at all costs.

“Let’s do it,” she replied.

Bob activated his thrusters and pushed her on her way, then released his tether. “Good luck, Daisy. Fly safe.”

Fly safe, he says. I’m in a plummeting hunk of metal with mere jokes for wings, and he says fly safe.

“It’s the thought that counts,” Sarah chimed in. “But Daisy?”

Yeah?

“Try not to get us killed. I’ve died once already.”

Her living sister laughed grimly as the atmosphere began buffeting the hull.

“Here we go.”
