Chapter Fifteen

Jason was back home in his room doing homework. Rear Admiral Marks had given him some assignments she claimed would make him a better commander. He let out a deep sigh as he stared at the information on his study desk. The screen was showing several pages of what some commanders did to ensure discipline on their ships. Most of it was boring reading but it was necessary if he wanted to become a ship commander some day. Yawning, he realized it was getting late and he had to be at the Fleet Academy early in the morning. Using his neural link he sent a message to Clair.

“It’s nearly bedtime, Jason,” she said in a tired voice.

“I know. I just wanted to know if you’re ready for tomorrow’s exercise.” Jason suddenly turned red as he realized Clair was in the shower and he was seeing through her eyes. This was only possible when someone didn’t have their thoughts properly shielded. He hadn’t realized Clair was so developed. She was gorgeous! For a moment he was at a loss for words. “I’ll see you in the morning,” he hastily sent as he cut the neural link He hoped Clair wouldn’t realize what had just happened.

Clair wondered why Jason cut the link so quickly. She hadn’t even had time to reply. Suddenly she realized she hadn’t shielded her thoughts when Jason spoke to her. “What did he see?” she wondered. Clair blushed as she realized she was naked in the shower covered in soap and water. She hastily finished her shower and putting on her nightshirt, went to bed. Clair decided she was not going to ask Jason what he saw; it would be embarrassing and it was her fault for not shielding her thoughts. It was something she was constantly getting onto Andrea about. Now she had done the exact same thing only with Jason.

Closing her eyes she tried to go to sleep. Idly she wondered if Jason had liked what he saw. That was something else she definitely wasn’t going to ask.

The next day Jason was in his class studying past fleet battles and the decisions made by commanding officers. He had noticed Clair had been unusually quiet this morning though she hadn’t brought up the previous night’s incident. Jason hoped she hadn’t noticed but with Clair one never knew.

“Mr. Strong,” said the military AI teaching the class. “In this battle why did the Federation fleet not flee the battle when they were clearly outnumbered?”

Jason knew this answer. “This battle occurred before hyperspace drives were advanced enough to make the transition into hyperspace while still in the gravity well of a planet. To do so might have damaged some or all of the hyperdrives in the fleet stranding them in space.”

“Correct. However, all of you need to keep in mind that even today a large enough gravity well could have an adverse effect on a hyperdrive.”

“There are fail-safes built in now,” pointed out Layla Bell. “The fail-safes will activate if it is unsafe to use the hyperdrive.
