<span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">S</span><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif; text-indent: 0in;">omething felt wrong. When Elias Smith entered the convenience store, he thought the man behind the register appeared too stiff. A woman stood near the counter with a panic-stretched face. Both refused to look at him. He didn’t get it. Shrugging it off, he moved into the third aisle and found the skin ointments. His son was stuck at home with poison ivy and needed calamine lotion.</span></p><p></p><p class="western" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">The automatic doors swished aside. Two teenage boys breezed in and went straight for the cold drinks in the back. They were arguing about which movie to see tonight. They seemed at ease, but Elias still felt something was off. He looked back and forth from the counter to the lotions. He found the right salmon-colored jar and checked the price.</span></p><p class="western" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="color: #fcff01; font-family: Garamond, serif;"> <a href="https://www.rodlittleauthor.com/2022/10/preview-of-whisper-for-dead-and-new.html"><span style="color: #fcff01;">Continue Reading</span></a> </span></p><p class="western" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;"><span></span></span></p><a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">$10? Seriously? This junk was a buck when I was a kid.</span><p></p><p class="western" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">The woman at the front started to tremble. She dropped one of the three items she had been carrying. When she knelt to pick it up, she stayed down on the floor and started to weep. </span></p><p class="western" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;"><span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">What the hell is her problem?</span><p></p><p class="western" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">“Are you okay, ma’am?” he asked. He took a few steps toward the top of the aisle.</span></p><p class="western" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">The oblivious teens rattled bottles of soft drinks in the back and now began arguing about whether they could get away with buying beer. There was one vote for no way and one for let’s try, what can it hurt? They can’t arrest us, can they? Elias was rooting for the let’s try boy. Live a little.</span></p><p class="western" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">“You all right?” he asked the woman again.</span></p><p class="western" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">She sobbed. He took another step closer, now eight feet away, but stopped when a second man popped up behind the counter next to the clerk. With long stringy hair held down by a frayed baseball cap, the man held a gun in his right hand, a fancy automatic, now pointed at the clerk’s head.</span></p><p class="western" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">“This fuckin’ Grand Central Station or something?” the man asked. He was jittery; his bloodshot eyes darted around the store. “Why so many damned customers? I can’t wait no longer. Let’s get this over with. The money.” He waved his gun at the cash register. “Now, dude!”</span></p><p class="western" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">Elias squeezed the glass calamine lotion bottle against his stomach. The two teens started for the register with two beers and a Coke and almost made it to the front before they saw the robbery in progress. They froze and looked at the clerk, the man with the gun, the woman on the floor. Finally, they looked at Elias. He waved them back and pointed toward the floor behind the aisle.</span></p><p class="western" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">“Get down, guys. Hide.”</span></p><p class="western" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">“You stay put!” the gunman shouted at them. “No one moves. Stay like fuckin’ stone statues until I get outta here. Stone, you hear me? Or you’ll get a bullet in the freakin’ fuckin’ head.”</span></p><p class="western" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">The boys became statues exactly as ordered. Their eyes wide, they stared at the man and didn’t budge. They rejected Elias’ second plea to get down. One started breathing heavily as the robber waved his gun around and again ordered the clerk to get the register open.</span></p><p class="western" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">“Calm down,” Elias said. “Everyone’s cool here. Take the money and go. We won’t try anything. Right, guys? We’re cool.”</span></p><p class="western" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">“What are you, a cop?” the gunman asked.</span></p><p class="western" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">“A science teacher.”</span></p><p class="western" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">“Well, you sound like a cop, so shut the fuck up!”</span></p><p class="western" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">Elias nodded and kept his mouth shut. At six-two and two hundred pounds, he could likely pummel the man if he could get close enough. Maybe knock the gun from his hands and wrestle him to the floor. But he was ten feet away and on the wrong side of the counter.</span></p><p class="western" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">He has to come to this side to leave the store. Get closer to the front.</span></p><p class="western" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">Elias stole half a step toward the top of the aisle. He felt the heavy bottle in his hand. Maybe he could throw it. No, it would never work. Best to let the man leave with the money. He glanced at the woman, still crouched on the floor. She looked old enough to be his mother. That angered him a little, and he took another step forward.</span></p><p class="western" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">The clerk fumbled with the keys, opened the register, and pulled out a neat stack of bills. It looked like mostly ones and tens to Elias. The clerk stuffed them into a plastic Kelso’s Mini-Mart bag and started for the quarters. The gunman stopped him.</span></p><p class="western" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">“Not the change, you idiot.”</span></p><p class="western" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">“Sorry. Sorry, I…” </span></p><p class="western" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">The clerk began fishing the quarters out of the bag.</span></p><p class="western" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">“Leave it now, you moron!” </span></p><p class="western" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">“Sorry,” the clerk repeated. He handed the bag of money to the gunman. A few quarters jingled inside. “Here. Take it.”</span></p><p class="western" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">Elias reached into his pocket and grasped his key ring and set of five keys. He eased them out of his pocket and made a fist with the keys inside. If he could get a little closer, he might be able to take a swing.</span></p><p class="western" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">Leave it, he told himself. You’ll get someone killed.</span></p><p class="western" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">He couldn’t decide, but he wanted to be at the front just in case. He slid a step closer to the top of the aisle, now only five feet from the counter.</span></p><p class="western" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">That was when the strange man came into the store. The leather-jacket man. He was big. Not quite as big as Elias, but more muscular and tougher looking. His perfectly round bald head gleamed under the lights. The man might have been in his forties but with creases in his face that belonged to a sixty-year-old. He’d spent too much time in the sun. He wore a permanent grimace on his face that said he didn’t like people, didn’t like to say hello and never liked to be bothered. He was the kind of guy Elias would avoid saying howdy to, and Elias said howdy to everyone.</span></p><p class="western" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">The man barged into the store and went straight for aisle two, pain relievers. He took a bottle of aspirin off the shelf, in no way concerned by the robbery in progress.</span></p><p class="western" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">“What the hell!” the gunman shrieked. “Are you blind, man? I got a gun. Stop shopping, stop moving and get to the back of the fucking store. Matter of fact, all of you get to the back of the store. Move! And hands up.”</span></p><p class="western" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">The new customer looked up at the clerk, then at the other customers. Nothing about the scene seemed to bother him. He addressed the gunman.</span></p><p class="western" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">“I just need some aspirin, buddy. Don’t mind me. I won’t get in the way of your… robbery. Or whatever this is.”</span></p><p class="western" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">The odd bald man walked past the teens to reach the cold drinks at the rear of the store. He opened the aspirin bottle, popped two aspirin into his mouth and pulled a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerated drink shelf. He downed the water in a steady single gulp.</span></p><p class="western" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">“What the fuck!” the gunman screamed. “Stop moving, asshole! This ain’t no joke.”</span></p><p class="western" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">The bald leather-jacketed man regarded the gunman for a second, then ambled to the front of the store and placed the empty water bottle on the counter in front of the clerk. He shook the aspirin bottle in plain view, then stuffed it into his jacket. He slipped a money clip from his pocket, peeled off a ten and laid it on the counter.</span></p><p class="western" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">“Keep the change,” he said.</span></p><p class="western" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">The man turned to leave the store, but the robber shouted for him to stop. When his words were ignored, the robber fired his pistol once. The man’s body flew against the glass doors. A bullet hole appeared in his jacket at the shoulder. Blood trickled from it, staining the leather. The man caught his balance and felt for the bullet hole with his left hand. He whirled around and turned on the gunman. What was in the odd man’s eyes was neither fear nor fury. Elias thought it looked like pity. Maybe a little curiosity was in there, too.</span></p><p class="western" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">“That’ll do it,” the leather-jacket man said.</span></p><p class="western" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">What happened next, Elias had trouble describing when later questioned by the police. The bald man flew across the counter in a blink of an eye and slammed the gunman against the wall. Cartons of cigarettes spilled off shelves and tumbled around them. Then he grabbed the gunman by the neck and dragged him into the storage room. What followed was a scream and the sound of a shelf collapsing.</span></p><p class="western" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">Elias immediately called the police while the clerk sobbed and ran out the door. The teens scurried outside with their beers. The old woman rose from the floor and leaned against the counter. She still held two of her items clutched against her bosom. That’s where she remained for thirty-six minutes until help arrived.</span></p><p class="western" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">The police found the robber in the rear storage room with his head ripped off. It was lying in the corner a foot from his body. Blood and pieces of skin stained nearly every inch of the floor. It was assumed the odd bald man had escaped through the back door.</span></p><p class="western" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;"></span></p><p class="western" style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">None of them ever saw him again.</span></p>Rodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02715843829300708133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3316291865161010577.post-54166040417737768862022-09-14T19:32:00.003-07:002022-10-10T03:00:27.576-07:00Cover Reveal: Whisper Killer 3<h2 style="text-align: left;">Whisper Killer 3: Whisper for the Dead</h2><p>US Release date: <span style="color: #fcff01;">October 12</span></p><p>International release date: October 13</p><p>At last, here is a sneak peek at the cover.

In need of a landline and shelter from the storm, they take the girls to the nearest motel. When they arrive, the check-in clerk is already dead. They search the rooms and find more blood, with all the guests as dead as the phones. </p><p>And one of the killers is still there. </p><p>When their car is stolen by a stranger, stranding them at the corpse-filled motel with little chance of help in the storm, they must search for clues to avoid the killer and stay alive. But the biggest clue is about to come after them. This was no robbery.

Synopsis:<br />
<span style="color: red;">Wolf Hollow is not like other towns. It gets what it needs.</span><br />
<br />

The new cover is thanks to brilliant artist Chris Matz, and it will be used for all eBook editions (Nook, Kindle, etc). It may also appear on the mass market paperback this summer. For now, the deluxe paperback will still feature the original cover.<br />
<br />
Both available worldwide at all major retailers.<br />
<br />
Work is still continuing on Hidden Planet to be released this summer, but in the meantime... spark on!<br />

<h3>
Sons of Neptune, Book 4: The Boneyards of Nebula</h3>
<div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
The ship turned at a
steep angle toward the base of the narrow antenna array, its pilot
mindful to avoid the tangle of antennae beams. The struts and metal
clamps holding the Starbase's sensors in place, also posed a
challenge. To avoid them, Sam swung the ship to starboard, leveled
its flight path, and made a smooth, careful approach toward the plate
shelf.</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
The ship advanced
slowly, almost too slow to perceive any change. It responded instantly to every command entered by Sam's
fingers. He inched the vessel forward.</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
Not far away, two
enemy craft sailed in toward their position. Their motive was clear:
destruction of the Earthian ship, and maybe even the Starbase itself.
Sam needed to retrieve the cargo from the shelf before the ships
reached them.</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
Bohai sat at the
weapons console, concentrating on targeting the two enemy ships. He
would only fire if and when the enemy breached the safe zone around Starbase
21. Until then, his fingers sat idle against the triggers. His mood
was calm, laid-back. These days, nothing rattled him to any great
degree.</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
Sam was the polar
opposite. Everything rattled him. Now he took his craft closer to the
plate, a shelf that held cargo they needed to get quickly on board.
He maneuvered closer, nervous hands at the controls. Sweat formed on
his brow, making his brown hair stick to his forehead, and all he
could think was: <i>I need a haircut!</i> Another ball of sweat
trickled, but he let it drop. He needed both hands on the controls.</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
“You have to calm
down,” Bohai scolded him softly. “You have to concentrate on one
thing: steering.”</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
“Those ships are
distracting me.”</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
“You're supposed to leave
those to me! Just focus on getting as close to the plate as possible.
Don't let anything else distract you.”</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
“Easier said than
done.”</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
Their ship veered too
close to the antennae; they were coming in too fast. The right wing
clipped a piece of the array and tore it loose; it floated off into
space.</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
“That wasn't good,
man.”</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
“You're not
helping.”</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
“You may have just
knocked out our communications, Sam.”</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
“Yeah, again, not
helpful.”</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
“You need to focus.”</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
“I'm trying...”
Sam took the ship inches closer to the plate. He did his best to
ignore the two vessels getting closer by the second. Trembling, his
fingers played over the delicate controls.</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
One of the enemy ships
fired a torpedo. It sailed just out of range and missed. The seconds
ticked by, and the enemy flew closer.</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
Bohai remained calm,
even as one enemy ship careened ahead of the other and began firing
its lasers. When it came within range, Bohai blasted it with both his
lasers. The other ship's shields held, and it continued to close in,
then veered off to make a fresh run at them. The second enemy ship
came in now and fired its weapons, two torpedoes, but Bohai was able
to deflect them again with laser fire – both torpedoes detonated in
space.</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
Sam eased the ship
flush against the plate with the cargo attached, but he still had too
much speed in the thrust. His ship bumped the base of the antenna and
bent it to one side. The sound of metal scraping metal made him
wince.</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
“Sam,” Bohai said
tersely. “That was unpleasant. Get the cargo and let's get back
into port.”</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
The second ship
continued straight for them, and this one did not veer off. It
smashed into the side of the Earthian ship and exploded in a cloud of
blue flame – a suicide run. Without oxygen in space, the flames
disappeared as fast as they'd come, but the damage was done. A
million particles of metal scattered across Sam's screens. A few bits
landed on the cargo they were meant to retrieve.</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
Now their shields were
down to 7%.</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
“Not to pressure
you, Sam, but we've got about ten seconds to complete this mission.”</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
“Shut up. I'm
trying.” Sam's fingers quivered. He nudged the ship against the
cargo plate.</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
The first enemy ship
came back around hard and fast, firing all cannons in a final push to
end this conflict. With no real shields left, the Earthian was lost.
An explosion sounded... their aft section cracked and began leaking
atmosphere. Soon the black of space would suck them in.</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
“Hull breach,”
Bohai reported.</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
“Dammit!” Sam
extended the mechanical arm to take the cargo into the bay, but it
was too late. White light blinded them both, as the ship broke up.</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
Another explosion
sounded, and all power failed. They were exposed to space, oxygen
sucked from all decks of the ship, and most of its section now
drifting out into the stars.
</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
The ship was dead.</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
A final blast brought
it to its end. The mission was a failure.</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
The alarm shut off.
All sounds stopped. The room became quiet, and Sam and Bohai sat in
the dark for a long minute. Dark, except for the red LED error
messages that remained on each of the consoles. They lit Sam's face
in a spooky rouge glow. Bohai poked his arm.</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
“Just making sure
you're not a ghost, man.”</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
“No. I'm real. Real
bad at this.”</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
Finally, the lights
flared back on. Bohai leaned back in his chair and released a sighed.
Not a good day.</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
The simulator shut
down, and the door opened. Shane stepped inside and slow-clapped his hands
twice in a mock applause. He didn't enjoy his younger brother's failure, but... while it
presented itself, he felt obliged to rub it in. Otherwise, how would
the kid learn?</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
“Magnificent job,”
Shane said. “You're both dead, and your ship is floating in space.”
He paused, then added, “Oh, and you knocked out the station's communications
system. Good job.”</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
Bohai looked at Sam
and shrugged. “I told you.”</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
The robot Bem rolled
into the room and announced that the simulation <span style="text-indent: 0.18in;">exercise</span><span style="text-indent: 0.18in;"> had received a
failing grade.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
“I'll practice, and
try again,” Sam pleaded. “I'll do better next time.”</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
“It would be
impossible to do worse,” Bem stated without emotion. It was merely
a fact. “You killed your crew and ship. Any other outcome would
be... better.”</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
Sam leaned back in his chair and rubbed his eyes, then let out a long groan of
frustration. This week had been an annoying series of training
exercises, and he was not enjoying any of them. He knew what he could
do and couldn't do, and he never really liked learning new skills.</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
<i>You are what you
are</i>, his dad used to say.</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
<i>True that, </i>he
thought.</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
“We have five days
until our next rescue mission to Earth,” Shane pointed out, looking
over to Bem, who nodded his metal head to confirm the accuracy of the
date. “We need to be ready for the worst. We're picking up
ninety-six more survivors, and I don't want to disappoint them.
Getting blown up along the way, would be... disappointing.”</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
Bohai frowned. “A
downer, for sure.”</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
They had arranged with
the Sayans, both factions of them, to be allowed to pick up fifty-one
people from London – currently being held prisoner – and then
thirty people detained in New York; and finally fifteen souls from
the safe zone in South America, which included some children left
without parents. The rest were staying to fight. Anyone who wanted to
stay on Earth and fight back was instructed to go to South America.
Anyone who wanted a one-way ticket off Earth was to go to New York or
London, where they would be imprisoned until the Vortex could return
to pick them up.</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
“So why do I need to
learn how to fly?” Sam complained. “Bohai flies it like a pro,
like the friggin Red Baron! I can't even drive a car!”</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
“Because of redund
...doubling up or...” Shane looked to Bem for help.</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
“Redundancy,” Bem
explained. “A quality crew is trained in every aspect of the ship.
If one crew member is disabled, another can fulfill his or her
duties. If your captain or pilot becomes unable to fly the craft, you
must be able to assume his position and perform the task.”</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
“First of all, Bohai
is <i>not</i> my captain. But I'm okay with him as a pilot. Nothing
will happen to him. Trust me.”</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
“One cannot be sure
of such things,” Bem continued. “Redundancy is important to any
flight crew.”</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
Sam stood up and
stretched his arms and legs, arched his back and heard it crack. The
nerve-wracking training exercise had made his back and shoulders ache
from all the tension. He would need a quick swim in the station's
pool today.
</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
Bohai slapped his
friend's back and leaned against his shoulder. “It's okay, man.
Floating in space isn't so bad. There are worse ways to die, I'm
sure.”</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
“Funny man. You have
a sitcom, too, or only this stand-up routine?”</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
“Tomorrow we try
again. Tonight look at the manuals one more time. I'll help you
study. I'll quiz you, I promise.”</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
“Remember, five days
until mission launch,” Bem reminded them again. “Mission protocol
dictates a full run-through the day before take-off. That is four
days from now.”</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
“Yeah yeah,” Sam
waved the robot off like a fly, and pushed past him. “Come on,
let's hit the pool.”</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
“I'm always up for a
swim,” Bohai said. “But then, I've passed all my tests.”</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
“Good for you.”</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
Two months on Starbase
21 had settled everyone into a place, a job, and a routine. Walter
and Dexter buried themselves in their lab, working on solving the
mysteries of the universe, while Margaret led a team in the
hydroponics bays, lifting the food production to match their expected
population growth. That number included the new refugees expected
from Earth in less than a week.</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
Walter would not
attend this next mission, but Dexter agreed to assist. He would fly
the Vortex. Shane and Camila were co-pilots who had also learned to
fly the ship. It would be escorted by the Praihawk, piloted by Bohai.
George and Sam would be co-pilots on that ship. They would also man
the weapons consoles.</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
Stu was put in charge
of security at the station, along with George and Filla. They set up
safe areas, and off-limits signs, and patrolled the corridors
regularly. As of yet, nothing had happened to require any policing.</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
Bem and Kelvin still
managed the station, and they were teaching others how to operate and
maintain the life support systems, defenses, communication and other
sections. Tina pitched in with the doctors from Ohio and ran the
medical facilities. Mark and Dylan took classes and soaked in as much
as they could. In their off time, they played cards, usually Magic,
and broke the rules by exploring the station's off-limits areas. Lily
was the only first-grader in a class taught by Doris. Camila acted as
liaison to the various groups they had rescued, as she spoke the most
languages and had a tough, yet gentle demeanor. It was hard to argue
with her. She would be in charge of any future ground rescues on
Earth.</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
As for the others,
everyone found places to work and live.</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
Mitch was the sole
exception. He wandered from task to task, assisting others, but not
taking any one job for himself. He helped with the garden domes,
repairing ducts, and even cooked breakfast one morning. Some days he
simply read through the digital books that the Starbase library
provided. More than most people here, his mind was tormented by the
deeds of his past.</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
For better or worse,
Starbase 21 had become home to the Earthlings. It amazed Sam how
quickly most of them had taken to it. After being wrenched from their
home planet, they were morphing into this new life with remarkable
alacrity. A year of being hunted down and tormented by lizards and
soldiers, had made the people grateful to be in a safe haven, at
last.</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
The rebel Sayan
blockade had disappeared – gone for more than a month already. The
ships had simply flown away. After Lusus realized he no longer had
his “prize” on Earth; he pulled the armada back. He needed them
to deal with Loxtan's forces soon to arrive on Earth.</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
Life on the station
was beginning to run smoothly.</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
After his swim, Sam
spent the evening looking at ship operations manuals on a tablet
device. He “looked at” them more than read them. His mind was not
focused tonight, and he quickly grew bored with the stint. He wanted
to talk, but Bohai was already asleep in the room next door. Most of
the station was already asleep.</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
Sam threw the
electronic manual on the floor and doused the light. He turned on his
music player, a thin sliver of metal the size of a credit card,
resting on the stand next to his bed. It had already been loaded with
the archive of songs from Zack the DJ, his gift to them.</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
The music of Jethro
Tull's <i>Stormwatch</i> album wafted from tiny speakers above the
bed. The sound quality was amazing, despite the size of the tiny
gadget. He listened to a song about the Orion constellation, a blend
of electric guitars and sweet cello strings – exactly what he
needed.</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
Sam's head felt heavy
on the pillow, and eventually it took him to sleep, as the
star-crossed album ended, and the player shut off.</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
At that same moment, a
distress call from the next galaxy reached the communications center of Starbase 21, and Bem intercepted it dispassionately,
unable to produce an emotional outburst. Anyone else would have
reacted differently.</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
It would change
everything.</div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="text-indent: 0.18in;">
