Rye buzzed. “Captain, we need to make repairs or we’ll be dead in space.”
Tash’s gut dropped to his feet. The Kamtrinians would blow the Intrepid into oblivion. “Evasive procedures, Nucl. We have to save the ship. Set a course for Sutois.”
“But Captain, we have to fight.”
“Nucl, there are over three hundred crew men and women on board this ship. I’ll not risk their lives to satisfy your lust for revenge.” He narrowed his eyes. “That’s a direct order.”
His body bulked up with the bear threatening to cut loose. The navigator flinched and immediately set a course away from the two starships.
“Rye, divert all power to shields. Nucl, maneuver six.”
“Aye, Captain,” they both answered.
The ship jumped straight up, just as the two Kamtrinians fired, hitting each other. Explosions flared on the Kamtrinians’ bridge. They tipped forward, hanging in midair.
“Considerable damage on the two ships, Captain,” Vaughn reported. “This may give us the time to make repairs on Sutois. I would suggest that we land on the planet itself instead of the star port on the moon. The Kamtrinians will be expecting us to land there.”
“Agreed.” Tash set back in his chair, his heart slowing to a steady pulse. “Let’s just hope we can make repairs before the Kamtrinians find us.”
“Life forms have been reported on Sutois’s surface, Captain,” Rye interrupted over the intercom. “I suggest we be prepared for hostile creatures.”
“They could also be non-threatening,” Vaughn argued. “We need to study before we attack.”
Tash glared at Vaughn. “We will be on yellow alert until I know it’s safe for our people.”
Vaughn huffed and whirled around. He returned to his station, muttering. Sometimes his voice of practicality and reasoning drove Tash crazy. His choices were nil. The Intrepid wouldn’t survive another battle with the Kamtrinian ships. To survive, they needed to make repairs.
He rubbed his sweating forehead and gritted his teeth, hoping he hadn’t made a deadly mistake.
