The Betwixt book One
“I was moving well before the GAMs issued in, though. My head was twisted their way while I ran to Od, grabbed him up under one arm, and threw myself into a roll behind one of the pulsating cores. If I had watched someone do this from afar, I would have been amazed at their agility and timing. Except, I wasn't watching this, I was doing it. In a flouncy skirt, no less.
But things were happening too fast for me to have out-of-body ‘ha’ moments.
I stopped short of the core, and tucked my back up t...owards it, till Od and I were pressed so close to the faintly hot tech-glass, that I felt like a burger under the grill.
I saw flashes of light from the door – red and blue lasers slicing around the room in quick flicks. They were probably attached to the ends of guns, I reasoned, guns that were likely headed this way.
So this was the Contamination Unit come to clean up Main Engineering of undesired entities. Problem was, I fit that category now. I had stowed aboard their ship, after all, and disabled their internal security sensors to do it.MoreLess
