Description
“Captain! Storm now closing to 50,000 kilometres and Delta Two is still not responding!”“Loadmaster!” she shouted above the din. “Prepare to cut Delta Two free if there’s no response in the next thirty seconds!”
“What’s happening Allie?” DeVille grabbed the back of the centre seat as the ship trembled slightly.
She pointed to the screen as if her anger could have reached through it and halted the oncoming menace.
“It’s the ion storm. God knows how or why but it’s swung round on a direct heading towards us. Delta Two isn’t responding and we’re going to have to…”
Before she could finish the sentence the Loadmaster called out from her left.
“Got it Captain! Delta Two is responding and coming alongside.”
Delta Two was the second of the two cargo drones that were controlled remotely from the bridge of the Atlas.
“Helm, move us out, warp three, heading 270 mark 15.”
“270 mark 15, warp three aye, Captain.”
