Almost as soon as the Nelson shut down the comm. came to life. I ignored everyone and opened the Dragon comm, “This is Crimson Dragon. I am making an approach to Saras Duchy. Nightshade, I need an escort.” “On its way Jason.” My alarms went off and suddenly the Dragon fleet flared with shields, “Shields Tinker!” I was busy changing course, “Going to emergency reentry Kitten.” Albert and Molly burst through the back hatch as our shield flared white with plasma fire, “Sit the fuck down Lieutenant!” The ship shook and groaned as we entered atmosphere in a huge ball of flame. The Dragon channel was chattering as they were suddenly fighting orbital platforms that were coming alive. I wasn’t really to worried about them since both Gold and Silver fleet were engaged. I opened the Marine Dragon comm, “This is Crimson Dragon. We are coming in hot with a Dragon’s Egg. Recon, clear the pad at Saras Duchy and secure the outer perimeter.” I dumped power into the anti grav and shoved it to the max to slow us down. Tinker and Silvia murmured back and forth and Michelle’s hands danced over the secondary controls. The ball of plasma around us disappeared and was replaced with a white glowing shield. I glanced at Michelle, “Man the caltrop.” I turned the ship as we continued to slow and descend until Tinker sighed, “You’re green boss.” I growled as ten slim fast moving sting ships appeared beside the ship, “About time Griffin. Some of you go clear the way.” “Got it Jason.” Five of the sting ships surged ahead and the rest began a dance around the ship. I pulled back on the anti gravity and the ship smoothed out. Tinker cleared his throat, “By the way, Nightshade just gave the all clear. She said it was powered down weapon platforms.” I nodded as I leveled out at two thousand feet, “We’re crossing the outer marker.” Albert cleared his throat, “Still think its merchants?” I cursed and opened a private comm. to Huntress, “Huntress?” “Yeah?” Do you have a merchant close to the Duke?” Michelle gasped, “Uncle Peter!” I glanced at her as Huntress answered, “The Chamberlain, Peter Ellis.” I nodded, “Secure him and run checks on everything he has touched.” I looked back at Albert, “Two minutes if you want to put on one of your suits.” He grinned, “I’ll wear this since this is just a visit for a family members wedding.” I grumped as Tinker snickered. I opened the Marine Dragon channel, “Status Recon?” George’s clear voice came through, “You’re green.” I slowed and dropped to a thousand feet. I glanced at Tinker, “Let George know he only has a minute.” Michelle jerked, “Contact!” The sting ships caught it at the same time and two rolled and flipped but Michelle had already fired a long burst. Tinker cursed, “They launched!” The two sting ships fired and the missile exploded. An explosion ahead of us had my comm. come alive, “Crimson Dragon this is Recon six, we have multiple…” The whole area was suddenly ripped apart and a hundred more sting ships flashed passed us. They were followed by six assault shuttles that lit everything within a hundred kilometer with a battlescan that would have fried any seeking scans. I dropped lower and opened the Dragon channel, “About damn time.” Nightshade laughed, “Welcome back to the front lines.” I looked back at Albert, “The boss isn’t supposed to Be on the front lines Nightshade.” I turned towards the ground beacon and opened a comm. to Huntress, “Status Huntress?” She was quick to come back, “We have him and two others.” I sighed and slowed to a stop over the smaller shuttle pad and started lowering the ship. I extended the legs as Tinker killed the countermeasures and Silvia dropped the shield. The ship settled to the ground and I sat back, “Time to end this.” I slid the seat back as Michelle stood to join me. I turned to look at Blade and Sister Shadow in the hatchway, “Ready?” They nodded and Sister Shadow cleared her throat, “The platoon is spreading out now and the rest of Gold is moving in.” I headed out and down to the entry hatch. The marines were already outside waiting and I smiled at the Sergeant, “Your squad is relieved Sergeant.” He went to attention, “If you ever need us again.” Michelle grinned, “I’ll call. You and your squad have my thanks. I’ll be putting that in writing too.” He grinned and the squad stood straighter. I moved forward and Albert stepped out with Molly. I headed towards the distant buildings and Michelle reached out to take my hand. I glanced at her, “Nervous?” She grinned, “Yeah.” I grinned and squeezed her hand as I heard Molly behind us say something to Albert who laughed. I ignored the platoon of Dragons around us as Nightshade and even more Dragons appeared. Dancer met us as we came through the side door. She grinned, “Still putting on a show.” I smiled, “Where are your prisoners?” She fell in with us, “It was like you thought. The merchant Peter Ellis was part of a merchant cartel that wanted to take over the empire and believed we couldn’t do anything without them.” I nodded, “Typical rich merchant attitude.” She nodded, “Lieutenant Carr has him talking and Alex sent us a list of merchants involved on that end. They wanted to break Dragon security around Albert.” I glanced back and then turned into the great hall. I headed straight for the man being held by Marines and talking to Lieutenant Carr. When I stopped, he shut up and glared. I glanced at Carr and then looked at the merchant, “Why here?” That made everyone shift because no one had asked that and the merchant looked away. The two Marines shook him and he ignored them. I nodded and held out my hand, “I need a knife to kill this traitor.” The merchant jerked as George was suddenly there placing a knife in my hand. I stepped closer and reached out to grab his hair and moved the blade to his throat before he cried out, “Wait!” I paused and he licked his lips, “They knew you were here and… they wanted to disgrace you and the Dragons by having you kill the Duke’s heir.” Around me people sucked in their breath but I didn’t even stir, “That wouldn’t have brought the Dragons here.” He looked around as if pleadingly and I moved the knife back to his throat and he blerted, “We were going to kill you!” I smiled and pulled the knife back, “And how would that bring Dragons?” He licked his lips, “The honor guards were to be attacked and killed.” I sighed, “And the Duke and the rest of his family?” He looked past me, “Executed.” I looked at him for a long time, “You will tell Lieutenant Carr who else in this system was involved. If you pause or stop talking you will be execute. For conspiring to commit treason, attempted assassination of a noble and the attempt on the Emperor you will be sentenced to a slow death. If you tell us everything and I do mean everything, you will be placed on a max security prison planet to spend the rest of your life.” I turned and handed George her knife back before heading across the room where Albert and Molly were already talking to the Duke and Duchess. Michelle slipped her hand in mine, “Why did you ask for a knife? You have one.” I grinned and glanced at George who was following us, “For effect, besides I didn’t want to soil My knife with that traitor’s blood.” Michelle laughed as George snorted. I stopped in front of the Duke and bowed my head, “My lord.” He glanced past me at Peter Ellis, “I never thought Peter would do this.” I glanced at Albert, “It happens.” I looked at Michelle and smiled, “I think it’s over now. Anyone we don’t have will be looking for a rock to hide under.” The Duchess came forward and embraced Michelle. She looked at me, “I was upset when you took my husbands…” The Duke cleared his throat and she smiled, “Until he explained in private what it meant.” I nodded and Molly laughed, “Our family has been waiting for Jason to find someone. Kitten seems to have stopped waiting and captured him instead.” The Duchess looked at Molly, “Kitten?” Albert snorted, “Your daughter has a knack and Dragons and Marines tend to give them names.” The Duchess grinned, “Kitten?” I sighed and turned when four large Dragons walked in with a slim woman between them. Albert and Molly stayed silent as I nodded my head, “Hello Striker.” She smiled calmly and glanced at Michelle before looking at me, “Still butting into dragon business?” I smiled, “Once a Dragon, always a Dragon.” Colonel Hibson nodded, “True and so far your loyalties haven’t strayed.” I grinned, “I told you once before you left, I’m not loyal to the Emperor.” She shook her head, “The truth scans told me that, but you have never…” She waved her hand, “It doesn’t matter.” I sighed, “I am loyal to my lieutenant. I know very well the record was erased and many Dragons don’t know the truth.” I looked at Molly, “The Drake family is Marine. Blood, bone and hide.” Striker actually grinned, “Now, I never thought of that.” She looked at Albert, “Your majesty, the baron’s council is ready to meet using a holo sim.” He nodded, “Thank you Helen.” I watched her leave and looked at Albert, “She still runs everything?” Molly laughed, “She tries not to but we hold her feet to the fire.” I smiled and looked at Michelle, “That was Retired Colonel Helen Hibson. Former Commander of the Emperor’s Dragons and now his appointment secretary.” Michelle looked at the door, “And the four Dragons?” I grinned, “Silvers assigned to protect her.” She grinned and looked at Molly, “I’ll bet she doesn’t like that.” Molly laughed, “She threatened to beat the first two until Albert told her to behave. Now she just ignores them.” Swordbreaker walked across the room and nodded to Albert, “We have them all sir.” Molly grinned, “Good, we have a bridal shower to plan.” A Wedding The whole planet seemed more relaxed and alive with plans. It was a week before Michelle disappeared on Dancer and Huntress’s arms for her bridal shower. Even Striker had been invited, along with a few hundred other women. Tinker wanted to throw me a bachelor party but I had shot that down and spent the day in a garage with Albert and Samuel. My mother arrived just in time to shuttle down to Michelle’s party before even stopping to see me. I retired early to my quarters in the Dragon wing attached to the Duchy. I came awake and was reaching for my weapon as the door slid open. Michelle slipped in and undressed before moving onto the bed, “That was fun.” I smiled and let my pistol go before pulling her against me, “Not for me.” She laughed, “Dragons are so naughty. I think mom had a red face the whole time.” I shook my head, “I didn’t need to hear that.” She sighed and put her head on my shoulder, “Mom and Molly are putting guards on me until the wedding is over. Molly said to tell you, you have to wear your formal uniform and not the Dragon dress up.” I sighed and caressed her, “She’s getting even for me making her wear a white wedding dress.” Michelle laughed, “Silvia is going to make Tinker wear his formal uniform too.” The next three weeks were filled with planning. Even Albert managed to slip away. Of course Blade went with him even if he wouldn’t say where they had gone. Molly pulled Michelle away and had her sleeping with Constance. I was really out of the loop and saw her only once or twice a day and that was with a hundred people around us. Very large tents sprang up a week before the wedding and people began to arrive. My mother had a standing appointment with me every afternoon for tea. (I think she did it to watch me squirm.) The night before the wedding was a large dinner. Michelle was there, Dancer and Huntress sat with her at the other end of the table. Everyone seemed to take delight in making this difficult. One sip of my water had me looking around. I quietly switched it with Albert’s only to spit it out. He grinned and I sighed, “If you are going to get me drunk at least use the good stuff.” Everyone that heard that laughed and Tinker leaned back, “Boss?” I looked at him and my hand shot up to catch the thrown flask, it wasn’t a small one either. I nodded and opened it and took a sniff before taking a drink. I closed it and nodded to Tinker, “Much better.” After that one dragon or another stood to tell a tale about me. Finally Albert stood and everyone quieted as he cleared his throat, “I met Jason when he was as wet behind the ears as I was. I would like to say he did something I could laugh at but he didn’t, at least not at first. It wasn’t that he stood between me and danger as he has done many, many times. He stood before his comrades then and for the first time in my privileged life I saw a man stand against what should have been his death. He knew we were doomed, just as I did, but he didn’t show it. Even after the unexpected rescue came, he continued to protect those of us no longer able to do it for ourselves.” He looked at me, “For those that don’t know. He is also the only man to ever take an emperor by the throat after tossing his guards aside.” Albert grinned as he faced the room, “My father was surprised and never raised his voice to me after that, at least not with him present.” The room laughed and Albert smiled before looking at me and raising his glass, “To First Platoon of Able Company, 1st Regiment of the Third Battle Brigade. May their names never be forgotten.” I stood and held out my glass, “To the fallen.” He nodded as the room surged to its feet. After drinking the toast, I put my glass down and looked out over my friends and companions. I nodded and turned to walk to Michelle, “Walk with me Kitten.” Mom and Molly both cleared their throat and I ignored them, “Walk with me.” She smiled and stood to take my hand. As we walked, I just held her hand and finally I stopped and looked at her, “Are you sure this is what you want?” She smiled, “Getting cold feet?” I caressed her face, “No. The moment we are wed my life as a Dragon is over. I love you Kitten, but I am older than you…” Michelle touched my lips, “You and I both know that doesn’t matter and as for not being a Dragon that won’t change. Being a Dragon isn’t what you did or do, it is what you are. Marrying me won’t change that and I don’t expect it too. You’re retired Jason, but you will always be what you are. Now, when we have children you get to be the stay at home dad while I have to govern. Molly said that wouldn’t be hard for you to understand.” I smiled and kissed her fingers, “No.” She nodded, “Good, now for our honeymoon…” I laughed and hugged her and she grinned, “How about a trip around the system in your ship?” I smiled and took her hand, “I’ll be giving the ship to Tinker and Silvia.” She grinned, “And George and Brit?” I started walking again, “And George and Brit.” Michelle sighed, “I feel like something is ending.” I looked at her and laughed, “Not quit Kitten, it is just starting.” She grinned, “By the way, I promised Huntress and Dancer to get a sample for them.” I smiled, “You have to wait until our honeymoon.” The sudden appearance of the young man had me reacting automatically. He had just stepped around a corner and I moved in front of Michelle. Just one look had me drawing my pistol as he was fumbling with something under his shirt. He froze and looked at me angrily. Michelle moved a tiny bit, “Elwin?” I looked at her and she shrugged, “He went to school with me.” I moved closer and reached under his shirt to remove the weapon. He glared at me, “She should be marrying me!” Michelle sucked in her breath before stepping around me, “What do you mean marry you? You were always running around with other girls. There is no way I would marry you.” I gestured to the two Dragons that appeared and they stopped as Elwin licked his lips, “I’m the best man on the planet.” She laughed, “You’re a puffed up peacock with no backbone. I wouldn’t touch you if you were the last man on the planet.” He looked at me, “But I’m a noble.” Michelle snorted, “Jason may not have a title but he knows more about being a noble and doing your duty then you ever will.” Elwin straightened, “I have the right to bring the question before the other Barons in the system.” I shook my head, “Actually you don’t. Your father or mother might but not an heir.” He glared, “Then I’ll challenge.” I laughed and stepped closer to cuff him, “I would kill you. I’ll tell you what you are going to do though. You will be escorted to the Marine officer recruitment office. You will volunteer for a four year tour. Now you might not want to do that so your other option is to spend the next ten years in a penal detachment and have your noble’s patient stripped from you.” He snarled, “You can’t…” I slapped him, “You used your rank to enter into the inner security of the Emperor while carrying a weapon. I could shoot you now without anything happening.” He swallowed, “I’m loyal to the Emperor.” I smiled coldly, “That is the only reason I am giving you a choice.” He looked at Michelle pleadingly and she shook her head, “don’t look at me, you did this to yourself.” He whispered, “But you should be marrying me.” Michelle shook her head as I gestured to the Dragons who came to take him away. I glanced at Michelle as we started walking, “An admirer you didn’t know you had?” She shook her head, “He always thought he was better than he was.” I smiled and turned into the next hallway leading back to the banquet area, “Now about us and children.” Michelle snorted and then laughed, “I have to produce an heir within…” She looked at me as I chuckled, “I know how long you have Kitten.” She grinned, “I prefer the old fashion way to get pregnant.” I smiled, “As long as you get a bio scan to make sure the child is going to be healthy.” Michelle grinned, “I’m going to time it so the baby is born around the same time as Huntress’s.” I grinned, “Did Dancer show you the pictures of Samantha?” She grinned again, “Yes, she’s a pretty girl.” I nodded as we turned into the dinning hall, “She’ll be here tomorrow.” Michelle looked at me, “Dancer said you have never seen her.” I shook my head as I turned her and the hall fell silent. I opened my tunic and pulled out a flat case. I hesitated before handing it to Michelle, “These were once part of the armor on a royal Clicken warrior. They are grown on the senior royal warriors and only found on Protus and only found in the Prime Hive. These were sent to me by the Clicken Prime Queen in tribute for my skill and bravery. They came from the fallen warriors we killed.” Michelle opened the case and gasped at the sparkling necklace that lay inside the case. She looked up and I smiled, “I would very much like you to wear it tomorrow.” She smiled and kissed me and then Dancer and Huntress were both there laughing and pulling her back, “No more until after the wedding.” I smiled as they pulled Michelle away and turned to bow to the room before leaving. When I walked out the side door the next morning it was to see thousands of people. I stopped in surprise and the Dragon by the door chuckled, “Get used to it boss.” I glanced at her and shook my head, “Everyone is having way to much fun.” She grinned and I started for the large raised stage like platform. The marines and fleet units I passed snapped to attention and saluted. Even the nobles and other civilians stood. I was consoled after reaching the platform when I looked back and saw Tinker being treated the same way. Slowly the wedding party arrived and sat below the platform. Molly, Constance and Samuel were grinning as they took their seats and I looked around for Albert. When the old Marine lieutenant climbed the stairs I looked at him and then turned to look around quickly. I hissed at Tinker and he turned before cursing under his breath. I glared at Albert when he stopped beside Tinker, “What are you doing?” He smiled, “Joining the groom’s party.” I started to say something when the wedding march started and I turned to see Michelle. I blinked and forgot about almost everything as she was proceeded by Silvia and Brit. Silvia was wearing a formal gown but Brit was wearing her formal marine uniform. As for Michelle, she was wearing a stunning white formal gown that clung to her. At her throat was the sparkling display of the necklace I had given her. I barely even took note of her father walking beside her and Tinker nudged me, “Breathe.” I glanced at him and grinned before turning back to watch Michelle approach. I would like to detail the wedding, but to tell the truth I don’t remember much accept the part where I put the plain gold wedding band on Michelle’s finger. The huge roar as everyone cheered shocked me awake and I glanced at Albert before turning back to Michelle and taking her hand. The walk out was almost as uncomfortable as the one in, accept this time everyone was throwing flower petals. The room we walked into was small and private. Michelle grinned and let me help her change into her next gown, a dark blue one that hugged her figure. I changed into a soft set of civilian clothes and my weapons and took her hand. We left and walked out to the huge tent that held thousands. Everyone cheered as we walked to the center table. This was the reception and would go on through the night. Molly, Albert and Samuel were sitting at the table but Constance was missing. I looked around for her and her young man and saw the group of Marines out on the edge of the tent. Albert grinned as he stood and gestured. Michelle and Molly walked with us and the marines parted so we could see the center of the group. George had stripped her dress blouse off and Constance had removed her boots and fancy jacket. They were both stretching and I shook my head before looking for Tinker. He was on one side taking bets with Boomer and Albert leaned close, “does your cousin know how good Constance is?” I grinned, “Want to wager?” He grinned, “So far she always wins.” Michelle laughed and said something to Molly who looked across the cleared space, “Tinker!” He turned to look and grinned, “Yes?” Molly gestured, “I bet a bottle of rainbow brandy on Cousin George.” He frowned and looked around before sighing and nodding. I grinned and squeezed Michelle’s hand as Constance frowned at her mother. Her eyes narrowed as she looked at George and then she moved to the center of the open space. George barely even acknowledged what Molly had said and moved to face Constance. She slipped into her stance and waited. After awhile Constance frowned and shifted to strike. George shifted slightly and Constance froze before shifting back. She fainted and George ignored it and slipped sideways before Constance had even started her real attack. She swept Constance’s striking foot up and moved into her as she went down. Constance was already trying to roll away before she struck the ground but George struck swiftly. Constance grunted as she scissored her feet and swept George onto her side. Before she could follow up George had rolled away and came to her feet. Constance came to her feet grinning and they slowly circled. Albert leaned closer, “She reminds me of myself but better.” Molly chuckled, “You haven’t seen her practice much.” He nodded and I glanced at Sister Shadow as she jerked and reached for Albert. I looked around as she whispered into his ear and his face went pale. He looked past me to the duke and then into my eyes, “We have a spike inbound.” I stiffened as my mind spun. I looked at Michelle and then at Albert, “The planet?” He nodded, “We have two days, maybe.” I shook my head and walked forward into the circle, “George, Constance.” They stepped away from each other and I gestured to Constance’s guard, “Get her aboard the carrier.” I looked around before facing the Duke, Michelle’s father, “Someone sent a spike towards the planet. You need to evacuate as many people as you can.” I looked at Tinker, “We need as much anti matter as you can stuff into the ship. Put Silvia on another ship and once we are loaded follow her.” He opened his mouth but I looked at Albert, “If you can, I would appreciate it if you let the Dragon fleet help evacuate the planet. Huntress and Dancer need to get their daughter off and…” He nodded and I turned to grab Michelle’s hand, “Come with me.” I ignored everyone as they panicked and pushed through them pulling Michelle behind me. I closed the door as I pulled her into the residence. She pulled back, “If you think you are going to…” I turned and pulled her against me, “I want you to walk with me and just listen.” She looked into my face and finally nodded. I started walking fast headed towards the other side of the building, “I want you to get to Beta Seven and see if they have repaired my old shuttle. Get someone to give you a priority ride. I am giving you Peaches, get an engineer to hook her into the nav console. When she is hooked up tell her Crimson Dragon is in a cocoon and needs her wings.” I looked back, “Can you remember that?” She was looking grim, “I’ll remember.” I nodded and opened the other door and headed for the far pads, “She will begin reading off distance and directions, whatever you do, please don’t run into me. I am taking the transport out with full shields. The spike will break through but it should be enough for the antimatter to detonate and detour it or destroy it. Just before it hits I plan to use the pilot’s ejection pod.” Michelle gasped as I swung up into the ship and headed towards the command deck. I went straight to Peaches once I reached the bridge, “Shut down Peaches and go to back ups.” I quickly went through disconnecting her and ignored Michelle. While I was working she finally bleated out, “What’s a spike?” I glanced back, “A spike is a very large missile released by a starship at the exact moment it exits jump. The starship is almost always destroyed. The spike is usually moving at over light speed so if it impacts a planet…” Michelle nodded, “it would shatter it.” I turned and held Peaches out but Michelle came into my arms, “Don’t you dare die.” I kissed her and pushed her towards the hatch, “I have plans Kitten, now get going.” She sprinted out as I headed out to dump everything. Boomer and Brit appeared and I ignored them as pallets of anti matter began appearing from Imperial Dragon shuttles. I finally turned and sent George and Brit out on the last shuttle that was moving to pick people up before heading back into orbit. I found Tinker on the bridge and jerked my thumb, “Out Tinker.” He stood straight, “You can’t do it alone.” I smiled, “You know I can, now get going.” He spun and strode out without saying another word. I watched the hatch monitor until he was off the ship and brought everything alive. I didn’t bother contacting control as I turned the big ship and began to move slowly. All I could think of as I headed up towards the atmosphere was Michelle. I knew the shuttle wouldn’t be repaired but it got her to safety. As soon as the ship went black sky I moved back and brought all reactors on line and then sat back in the pilot seat and began accelerating out to meet the spike. I was getting constant scan updates from fleet and the dragon fleet. They were wrong about how long they had, it was only a day away. Twelve hours before impact the comm. chimed, “Jason this is Kitten.” I smiled, “Go ahead Kitten.” “You are a stinker Jason. I got it fixed anyway, Silvia and Tinker helped us. We are black sky and following.” I shook my head, “You’re to late Kitten. You’re over fourteen hours behind and the pod only…” “You listen to me Jason Drake! You will bloody well find extra oxy tanks and make them work!” I sighed, “I’m sorry Kitten…” The clearing of a throat made me look back and shake my head, “Great.” I opened the comm., “I will be aborting my run…” “No you won’t.” Samuel strode forward and bent to open the comm. in the engineering station, “Tinker? Where is the extra oxy tanks.” There was silence and then Albert came on, “Samuel? When I…” A moment later Molly’s calm voice came through, “Tell him Tinker. Bring my boy home Jason.” Tinker chuckled, “Okay kid. Look in the secondary engineering cabin. There is a bottle and a small oxy generator, also…” I tuned them out and tried to decide what to do. Samuel put his hand on my shoulder, “We’ll make it.” I almost snarled at him and took a deep breath, “When this is over…” He laughed as he headed towards the hatch, “I think this time you’re going to have to wait your turn.” Two hours before impact we had bottles strapped everywhere around the two pilot’s seats and two small oxy generators waiting to start up. I made sure Samuel was wearing an evac suit as well as strapped into the other seat. I watched the holo clock Samuel kept updating with a running count down. Ten minutes until impact I brought the shields to full power and put the pilot ejection pod in sync with the shields. I programmed the trajectory away from the ship and opened the comm., “Kitten?” “I’m here.” I sighed, “It’s almost time.” She was quiet for a moment, “I’ll be there Jason.” I smiled, “tell Tinker, Samuel is a better than him too.” She laughed and was silent. I looked at Samuel, “Want to say anything to your mom or dad?” He shook his head and closed the visor. I had everything locked one minute before impact and took a breath before hitting the ejection button. Nothing happened for a micro second and then a solid bulkhead slammed down behind the seats and I was pinned to the seat as we were kicked away from the ship. We were held in the seats as the pod streaked away but my eyes were glued to the scan display I had preprogrammed. When the explosion came, it was massive and I knew were in trouble, it seemed to reach out for us. The pod was thrown around like it was nothing and I heard the hiss of escaping air. I struggled up out of the seat and fought my way towards sound. I pulled patches from a thigh pocket and released one. The suction pulled it to the leak and it exploded in foam that sealed the leak. The pod steadied and slowed leaving us in dim light as I moved carefully to the two oxy generators. I brought them online and open one bottle. I moved to Samuel and tapped on his helmet, “Still with me?” He slowly raised the visor and smiled weakly, “Don’t tell dad but I think I am finished making fast racers.” I grinned, “It was a ride to remember.” I sat in my seat trying to stay calm and hoping what we had done worked. Twenty hours later there was a banging on the pod hull and I put a mask on and gestured to Samuel who closed his visor. Several minutes later a laser torch was cutting through the rear bulkhead. When the opening fell in Tinker peeked through, “What a lift?” Samuel was grinning as he struggle out of his seat and headed towards the hole. I yanked him back, “Careful or you’ll melt a hole in the suit.” He nodded as I moved to join him and Tinker grinned as he sprayed what had to be liquid coolant around the melted edge. I nodded and helped Samuel through before following. We were in a thin cold temporary chamber and Tinker backed up and turned to open the air lock into the shuttle. Once through he closed it behind us and opened the oxygen in the airlock before blowing the outer chamber away from the ship. Silvia was waiting on the inside and took Samuel by the shoulder, “I have orders from your mother Samuel.” I pulled the mask off, “His beating can wait until he has a warm meal and a few hours of sleep.” I looked at Tinker, “Tell me it worked.” He grinned, “It worked. There was still some debris but not enough to cause much damage.” He pushed me towards the bridge, “I think the Captain wants a few private words.” I grinned, “I’m sure she does” I headed up quickly and ducked through to see Boomer sitting down and Michelle turning to face me. I ignored Boomer and Brit in the other seat as I strode to Michelle and swept her into my arms, “hey Kitten, this tub have a shower and bed?” She grinned and hugged me, “How about just a bed?” I turned to the hatch and Peaches made her throat clearing sound. I sighed, “Yes Peaches.” “Albert said good job and asked if you wanted another medal?” I groaned as Boomer and Brit both snickered. Michelle shook me and looked back, “Tell his Majesty I am giving him his punishment and he is not to spoil it.” Brit and Boomer both bellowed as they laughed and I grinned as I let my wife pull me out to find a bed to consummate our marriage. |
