Chapter Thirty-One

Jess tensed as the Wanderer lost its fight to remain in jump space. What was waiting for them? Were they about to face what had the Empire so worried?

They hit normal space. Jess scanned space around them quickly. He was a little disappointed at what he found. It was the familiar Empire fleet arranged at the start of the tar pit’s influence. The Wanderer was already well past them.

“Just the usual,” he said.

“Don’t sound so disappointed,” Ali replied. “We want to get through the Quarantine Zone safely, not confront whatever is out there. Don’t we?”

Jess grinned sheepishly. “Yeah. I guess so. I’d almost welcome a fight right now, rather than endlessly going through the same steps at each blockade.”

“Well I wouldn’t. Remember that before you send us charging off into danger.”

“Yes boss,” he replied, grinning over his shoulder. “What are the troopers up to?”

“Same as always in normal space. They’re strapped down safely. I’ll watch them but I bet they don’t move until we go back into jump space.”

“I’m not taking that bet.”

Jess checked the Imperial fleet again. As he’d expected, none of the ships had reacted in any way to the Wanderer. It was becoming eerie. It almost felt as if the Wanderer had some form of stealth effect.

Despite what Ali had said, Jess was still beginning to wish for something to happen. Anything that would alleviate the strange combination of worry and boredom.
