The comms light blinked on Frost's Liberator as he prepared to undock from Police Plaza. "Incoming mail," Frost said to himself "This better not be orders to fly to Houston".
Having pressed a few keys, the message popped up on the main display. SWAT encryption.
Frost typed in the access code and viewed the message.
"Recruit Officer Carina Valencia injured in line of duty, ship destroyed at Colorado D-6, Pod recovered. Officer is at Denver Police Medical facility."
D-6? D-6 was the middle of the Silverton asteroid field. "Gods damnit! How many times do we have to shout at these recruits to avoid leaving open space without backup?"
Opening up a comms link to Illinois flight control, Frost registered a change. "Looks like I'm going to be swinging by Denver, another recruit's busted themselves up, let the precinct know I'm coming"
Frost hit the dock release button and punched the throttle.
