A Small Step
“Whoa, slow down man. For a little guy you sure move quick.”
I didn't slow down. Bay Kosmatka had to lengthen his stride, a little but eventually caught up to me as we made our way through Darnielle's Progress and back to the hangar. He kept talking up until we entered the hangar. There he fell silent and stopped walking.

“Hello Aitken. You seem to be healing well.”
The visage of Mr. Smith remarked over the comm. unit.

Slap and Tickle
“One more time Commander. Who are you working for?”
I didn't get the chance to answer. Just as well as it would have been flippant, not that it would have mattered. The fist that connected with my jaw had enough force behind it to topple the chair that I was strapped into over.

Worth the Wait
“I've heard back from my contacts.”
Gabe told me after I had finished telling him the tale of my morning. “And?” I asked.

The More Things Change
“Thanks for calling Dad, don't leave it till my next birthday until you call again.”
The image of my son faded to black on the screen before me. With the conversation over I pushed back the chair and headed back into the sitting area.

The Devil You Know
“And that ladies and gentlemen is the reason for the moral decline of our youth.”
I looked around the room I was sitting in just to be sure I was not dreaming Since I didn't appear to be I posed Gabe the obvious question .

Goodbye to Charity
“In what way do you think that it's not over?”
I had just picked up the coffee cup and had not even had my first sip when the question answered my sceptical remark. Charity sat at the opposite side of a two person table in non-descriptive eatery. She had at least had a sip from the wine glass before her, so I followed suit and took a slug from the newly dressed cup before me.

Oxygen-depleted, Blink 4
This is the fourth and last part of CMDR Flynzilla's Oxygen-depleted Rat Story. Read it from the start here.
Ratmama’s squeak still makes me jump like a junior rat, RATSIGNAL: CMDR atomicweeasel – System Col 1456 Sector JY-D A 14-1 – O2 OK case #6
Patting the side of the Commander's chair and to no one in particular “Righto girl, let”s go to work”
“Navcomp input Col 1456 Sector JY-D A 14-1 plot course” The computer beeped its result, glancing down to the navcomp to see 4 Jumps on the screen. Nope, no way “Navcomp clear route, replot” This time I watched the navcomp do the plots. “Beep” Well. I’ll be jiggered.
