| �Where did it come from?� Maradine demanded, slowly murdering the young officer�s face with his glare. Quick to comply, the comm techie asked, �shuttle, what are you carrying and where are you coming from?� Inside the shuttle, Serena kept her cool. �I�m coming from the Crimson Star, carrying fuel samples.� General Brungess had told them earlier that Anarcha was laying waste to Neptune, trying to find a new source of fuel. It was time to see if that still held true. She held her breath and hoped the bluff would work. �Yes! New fuel!� exclaimed Maradine, eyes lighting up. �Tell her to land immediately.� What Serena found there almost cost the Chief of Security her life. |
