Bomb

At this point Cicero's feet are strapped into boots fastened to control systems under the flooring, she has VR gloves and a single eye-piece. You watch carefully as Durkas attaches electrodes to her head. The Lumiat gives a small thumbs up. "Okay, it's rigged. I've leached some system power off the anti-matter drive. Now, if they can keep that up and running, we'll have enough power to keep basic systems going and still get to Resus One. That's if that thing doesn't get in there and drain the energy."

"Cover signal transmitting to Resus One. Hopefully, bit of luck, they're still going to think they're in control." You pauses turning on your toes to face them all snapping your fingers. "Oh, Durkas. You're a genius. The energy! It doesn't want to kill us. It doesn't care about us. It wants the systems. It wants the power! It didn't go for Astos, it went for the life-support systems in the life-pod. It drained the lights and the power and my sonic. It drains everything it eats. That little creature seeks out and feasts on energy. That's why it homed in on us here, pulsing with it in the wilds of space." How could you be so blind, step one of traveling with danger is that nothing is what it really seems.

You thought for a moment as the others finished up the manual driving system that would get you all to safety. "I can see the course. I'll need to increase speed."

"Handing over control. It's all yours." Once he does a Rumble can be heard causing you all to shake slightly.

"Take us in safely, General. Nice and calm." The Lumiat suggests watching as you denie at strike three. Something else to solve before you all blow up.

"What will we do with the Pting when we get to Resus One?" She asked which gets drowned out by Another alarm sound

You thought for a second maybe you could solve two things at once. "Nothing to worry about. I'll deal with the Pting." You spoke quickly, aiming your footing to the door. You stopped looking over to missy. "Missy can you come with me?"

You both stepped out into the corridor but this time your hand flying to the side of your rib. Missy caught your footing quickly helping you back onto your feet. "You know you really shouldn't have taken that drip out, dear" she warned letting her hands fall back to her side as you both walked in a quick pace.

"No time for that babe, Pting, bomb. Pain can wait, I promise you can nurse me later" you burst into the Drive chamber that only just causes the drone and Yaz to aim your way. Missy jumps in front of you with her hands up in surrender and talks quickly disarming them. "It's us! Put that down yasmine Khan before it goes somewhere uncomfortable"

Yaz lets the weapon fall down to her side, taking it away from both you and missy's way. "It was here. I got rid of it. But it'll be coming back." She warned.

"What is the situation elsewhere?" Ronan asked putting down his stunner too. Missy moved back to stand at your side

"Eve's piloting the ship, the Lumiat and Durkas are maintaining controls and signals, you're guarding the particle accelerator..." You all stagger trying to keep upright as the ship moves in a uncomfortable pace to which it seems to hit something outside. "Mabli, Graham and Ryan are presumably delivering Yoss's baby, and the bomb's going to detonate, so I'm just going to move it away from this room."

You just look back at missy who just seems to have a matched shocked face as the others wore. You didn't have time to explain so you get out the sonic and head for where you hoped the bomb was.

"There's a bomb in this room?" The drone spoke up softly with a hint of panic laced in his tone.

"See I wasn't going to do the whole answer questions whilst looking for a bomb but yes Right in here." The sonic revels The base of the particle accelerator. "All those warnings stated that they would terminate the ship if they found a Pting on board. How would they do that? It's too far for missiles. It has to be the same for every Tsurangan Rescue Craft."

Missy stepped up to your side following your gaze to the small bomb. "It's built in. Self-detonation." She whispered under her breath looking down at the flicking object.

You take the blue flashing circular device carefully with both hands out reached in front of you. The others just look at you like your crazy but Missy has a hint of interest on her face. "You're interfering with a bomb?"

You just let out a small whine still heading for the door. Missy just following your lead.

"Is it going to detonate?" Ronan added setting back up his stunner.

"Oh Yes." You continued trying really carefully not to blow yourself up.

"What will you do?" Yaz asked before you could reach the door.

"Well I'm just guessing here and doing what any healthy rational person would do... Speed it up to save our lives, I'm just really hoping I don't drop this thing. Come along Missy"

You both walk slowly under you approach the Outside of an airlock "Funny, I'm normally the one setting off the bombs" missy smirked taking your sonic and opening up the airlock door as you had enough in your hands , she let you pass so you could place the little bomb on the floor.

"Right I'll let you do the honours darling, Pick a number between 1 and 100." You ordered taking back your sonic before missy had any ideas.

"69" You snigger before sonicking the bomb and the countdown beeps start. You move back taking her with you. "Don't tell me that's seconds?" She whispered yelled looking back over to the bomb, you just hummed hoping this would go the way you had imagined.

You just turned to look at her, your lips just inches apart. "Think of the Pting as the doctor , and the bomb as a distress call" you smile capturing her lips, if you were going to die you were going to taste heaven once more. It seems to keep her quiet because the only noise that came next was the pting approaching.

The ship lurches again causing Missy to fall into you, your body still tensed when she touched you, your hairs rasing and your stomach flipping under her touch. But you couldn't concentrate on that right now because the pting had gotten closer to the bomb eyeing it. "Really, get a shift on." You muttered under your breath. The Pting hops over the door sill, picks up the bomb and swallows it whole. You let out a sigh of relief and got up To sonick the bulkhead door shut. You watch as the bomb explodes inside the Pting's stomach, lighting it up bright red. The little creature smiles with bliss. The outer airlock hatch opens and the Pting sails out into the vacuum, happily replete with its latest meal. "Now that's gone. That should keep it fed for a very long time. Still not home and dry, though." You speak as the ship lurches again. "Somethings not right" you whispered noticing that the movement was very rushed almost like there was a problem elsewhere.
