As both of them went to sleep, above the cave, Maltese patrols were sweeping the forests above and infront of the cave. Thankfully it was hidden well enough for the cave and as such them to remain undetected. A few days went past, not much happening in them. In the morning Linda would go out scouting for some small game for food, while Michelle would keep the cave secure, keeping the fire burning, and building a small shelter for the both of them. After days of waiting, the radio finally signalled that a Junker freighter would be waiting for them the next day on a abandoned field about 10 kilometers to the north. It would be to take them to Freeport 11, and drop them off, leaving them both with Civilian shuttles. However, going there would prove to be difficult.
"Hush.. Take cover." Linda beckoned Michelle to keep low, as a Maltese patrol ship flew overhead. "Wait for it... Waaiiit for it... Now! Go! Sprint to that group of bushes over there!" She started running towards the bushes as fast as she could. "Only 3 kilometer remaining.. come on." she thought to herself.
This Galaxy is vast; its wonders and beauty are almost unfathomable. But the galaxy also hides dark secrets, some of which have lain dormant since the beginning of time itself. There is a danger in secrets, both in seeking and in knowing. Some things are meant to be hidden from view. Some mysteries defy understanding, and sometimes even the things we think we know are untrue. Some secrets should remain untouched.
