Subcommander Jackasarian D’Frostulen knew something was wrong.
The ship was shaking wildly, throwing him painfully from one side of
his hiding place to the other before he finally managed to wedge himself into
a corner. Another abrupt change of direction, and then his stomach churned
as they momentarily lost gravity. When it returned, it slammed him against
the metal walls like an invisible hand.
What was happening? Ambassador Nicholsarian was the finest pilot that
Jackasarian knew. Then again, he was the finest everything – the finest
officer, the finest swordsman, and the epitome of a Tandroki warrior. An
attainment that he would never reach – as Nicholsarian had been only too
pleased to point out.
But despite the ambassador’s icy perfection, something had obviously been
bothering him for the past few months. He had been desperate to find out
why – hoping that even a shred of information might save him from what
appeared to be the inevitable fate of being dismissed from the Tandroki
forces.
When he had first been appointed to the position of attaché to the
ambassador, he had been delighted, assuming it was an indication that he had
been truly accepted as last. Nicholsarian had been quick to disillusion him.
He had been appointed solely because of his lineage, and the ambassador had
no intention of allowing him to remain.
He’d been investigating the ambassador’s ship when Nicholsarian returned
and in a fit of panic, had hidden himself in an unused bulkhead storage
locker. He hadn’t expected the ship to take off, but once it did, he saw no
option but to remain in hiding throughout the journey, sneaking out at night
in order to scavenge for rations. Every day he had hoped that the flight would
come to an end, but he hadn’t expected it to end like this. As far as he could
tell the ship was out of control and they were about to crash. An ignominious
end to an ignominious career.
The ship lurched again, then began a wild spiraling fall, throwing him around
so violently that he couldn’t remain braced in the corner and tumbled
helplessly around the small compartment. His head cracked against one wall
and his hip against another, before the final impact threw him against the
floor with bruising force.
He blacked out for an undetermined amount of time. When he regained
consciousness, he was sick and dizzy, every muscle in his body aching. There
was no sound from the surrounding ship, just the faint click of cooling metal.
He couldn’t stay hidden any longer. After a brief fight with the warped metal
of the storage locker, he managed to force the door open. The ship was still
absolutely silent. Where was Ambassador Nicholsarian?
