Enjoy a Complementary Sample from Chapter 1!
The walls closed in around her, squeezing her world. Kaia tried to breath but it was as if a weight sat on her chest. Her vision began to blur and no amount of massaging cleared it. This was pointless.
Kaia sat back in her chair and looked at the ceiling. It was bague, just like the walls, just like the hall outside. She turned her head to the side but there was no windows in her office. When had she started to think of this broom closet as her office? That realization just increased the weight on her chest. It got so bad that she began to get light headed. Enough was enough. She slapped at the terminal, closing the report that she had been working on. Another report. That seems to be what her life has devolved to these last number of weeks. She was a Lieutenant Commander with her own ship, or at least used to have her own ship. Right now she was stranded on this crappy planet waiting for the repair docks to finish fixing the battle damage. What made it even worse, Tol’shi was in the middle of the yearly monsoon. Everything was flooded and the rain just kept coming, further reducing her mobility.
At least she had something to keep her busy. Admiral Santus had assigned her to Major Duxar, the local commanding officer of the signal intelligence unit. As a result, her queue was flooded with countless reports from the mundane to the possibly not so mundane. It had been interesting at first. The various reports from ships and Imperium agents in this sector had really expanded her own understanding of the politics of the region. But now it was all starting to blur together. It was starting to become a real job, and not the one she wanted. She was a Viper operative. She was supposed to be out hunting bad guys and killing pirates. She still hadn’t found the mysterious new Kha.
“I’m not gonna find him in this fluff either,” Kaia said to the empty room.
She had hoped that access to the SigInt archives would reveal new leads. Some information that had been missed by the local officers. But no, the archives were as barren as the asteroids that haunted the edge of the system.
“Damn, I need a drink.” Kaia stood up, knocking the chair backwards as she did.
