The Quiet Life
“One, Two, Three!” he said sharply. An explosion of gunfire erupted in the hallway.
I ignored it and ran, sticking to the wall. I was doing my best to be a small target, thinking small target thoughts. I raced down past Moros, bullets slamming into the wall next to me. I got to the corner and dove around into relative, momentary safety. I immediately spun and slid back to the corner. I pulled my gun up to cover down the hallway as Fields sprinted past me. He turned to cover the hallway as well, in a much smoother, practiced motion.
“Ready Moros!” He said.
SCAVENGER HUNT
I couldn’t take evasive maneuvers, having to keep my nose locked onto the jump point, so I just kept us powering ahead as fast as I could, hoping to survive long enough to make the jump. Then… A rapid beeping sounded, followed by, “Missile warning.” My eyes darted down- the red symbols of 3 missiles sat on my HUD, each with a red circle around them that rapidly shrank to three quarters of a circle, then half, then a quarter as the missiles grew near. “Missiles!” I yelled, in case Mister Fields hadn’t heard the beeping, and began dumping countermeasures. Typically I’d take immediate hard evasive action but I was so close to making the jump and didn’t think I’d get another chance at it- would the countermeasures be enough? Could I decoy the missiles off? “On it!” he answered back, reorienting the turret to face our rear, trying desperately to shoot them down...
“Rana to Fields, Rana to Fields,” I called over comms, hailing him as I dodged and weaved between asteroids. “This is Fields, go ahead.” my speaker crackled back. “Picked up a tail out of Grim HEX, coming in hot, be ready for a fight.” I advised. “Roger that.” His response was crisp and professional but he couldn’t keep all the excitement out of his voice. Laser bolts screamed past my cockpit as my shield indicators flashed red at me. “Shields under attack” the ship read out. I continued to dodge and weave as best I could but I knew my opponent must be pretty close.
