Zellu was on her own. Zallu was dead.
oO Oh Gods, she’s dead. Oo
Tears welled up but she wiped them away.
There was no one left to trust. The Captain had betrayed them. Almost all the crew was dead. And who still lingered… Well, Holley’s treachery had shown she couldn’t rely on any of them. Who knew how deep the conspiracy went. Obviously, the Ronin crew as well.
The weight was almost crushing. Almost.
She was scared but she wasn’t about to give up. She needed to find the origin.
She gritted her teeth and straightened her shoulders.
First find the freighter. There had to be something on board her crew missed before.
oO Or chose to miss before. Oo
Something she could trace back to a source.
oO and make them pay. Oo
She coughed and wiped a bit of dark goo from her mouth. She looked at it on the back of her hand angrily.
oO No time for that. Oo
She took a deep slow breath trying to subvert an additional cough and turned back to her control panel.
Zellu adjusted the sensors and began to search for the specific emissions from their initial encounter. She easily picked up the trail of the freighter. It wasn’t hard to find if you knew what you were looking for. But, there was also something else…A long range contact appeared on sensors.
The one contact quickly became two. Small craft. Valkyries.
Her brow furrowed and her eyes narrowed. She knew they’d follow her but she hadn’t expected them quite this quickly.
oO Damn Oo
She raised shields, armed phasers and turned the shuttle, racing into a radioactive belt around the small moon nearby. Alarms blared. The shields would not filter all the toxicity.
