—I'm tired of these security checks. This is just an engineer's caprice! The ship's fine, sir.
—I know, I know. But he has the authority. Do it just this time. I'll make sure it's the last.
—Yes, sir.
The Eagle 01 entered the hangar, right into the maintenance system. Captain O'Hayes hated that. Once there, you are scanned. It feels as if you were teared apart. Without the pain but it feels awful. By the time it sensed the bomb, it was too late…
"So that's the ship."
"That's the ship."
"And it can jump."
"Yes. You'll be in Espass in 18 hours."
It was tiny. Like a fighter without weapons. No bunk, no head, just a seat, an autopilot and what engineers called "flight trunks" and everyone else diapers.
"You know I can't fly it, right?"
"Yes. Autopilot can handle it. We can even sedate you. Or we could still route you on a liner."
"In six days? No."
If this "emergency" was just Adi's caprice...but Rendal knew it wasn't.
