No Man's Space 1: Starship Encounter
“We’d locked Lady Elizabeth up in one of the North Star’s officer chambers. She’d stolen government property, but I wouldn’t be able to keep her locked up without a trial. Technically, the brig was designed for the lower crew, and officers and the gentry were always given the option to remain at home on parole. I didn’t want to give her the option to return to her room and perhaps contact spies amongst the enemy.
My men had worked on a cloaking system to hide the spaceport, but the scraps we...’d gathered from the Cassock ships and the chucks we’d retrieved from orbit hadn’t given us enough clues to hide ourselves. Besides, the enemy might’ve been able to detect ships cloaked under their own systems.
Still, we kept trying. It kept us busy and stopped us from thinking that we were all doomed. We had the chance of surviving; it was more than enough for the time being.
To take a break from work and from the pressures of managing a ship and a spaceport, I’d agreed to spend a while in the wardroom with Banner for a change.MoreLess
