The Rogue Officer

[Jeremy Hunter]

Cassie and Izzy looked over the Athena. It was pokcetmarked with craters, two of its guns had been destroyed completely, the engines were a mess, and it leaked air like a bathtub. Izzy shook her head.

"Only thing that is flyable at the moment is my fighter. How long till this thing can fly again?"
"Cant say. Two, maybe three days?"
"damn."
"Sorry Iz. Unless Ellie gets here with a replacment or more parts, you're on your own."
"Great. Can you call Jeremy? Maybe he can stop by."
"I already did. He's busy. Major attack on Minor. It was repelled, but it could happen again."
"Frakk."
"Yeah."

The two shook thier heads as they watched thier ships repaired slowly.



Couple systems away, in Omicron Minor, the shell of the Ghost Eye was under construction. it's shield was now a normal Cruiser shield, it's bridge was together, but the engines and hyperdrive where not up to spec. Jeremy looked over the ship, wishing it was complete.

"Freaking supplies going God Knows where..."

Captain Solomon, Commander Ash Thomas, and Lt. Aqua nodded. They where his friends, and his main bridge crew.

"It'll get finished. If you stop taking it."
"What else do I have to go save my family?"
"You could jack the Neith."
"Kell would kill me."

The three laughed.


Izzy sipped her drink, wondering how the 3 Musketeers where doing.
