The Covenant
“A muscle twitched in his cheek. “Shall we discuss regulation 051?”
Aspen stifled an inner sigh.
To her amusement, both Trey and Larik seemed incapable of a response.
The flippant, rule-defying genius engineer and the cocky pilot silenced under a father’s accusing glare. How interesting.
It was comical to see them disconcerted, but she wanted nothing more than to go home. Upon landing on Minoa, the last thing she expected was to be ordered straight to her father’s office. A reunion would be nice..., but an official lecture she could live without.
She said, “It was an unusual situation.”
“It certainly was. As far as I can tell, you three almost managed to destroy an entire planet. Then you left without orders, not to mention commandeered property of the Rapt One government. I don’t even want to get into the serious nature of the security breaches, both on Rapt One, and apparently even into the Universal Council system.”
That was neither fair nor accurate—except for the part about the transport, and well, also the security infringement—but a huge argument held little appeal.MoreLess
