Now they headed for the desperate jump they’d taken out of the system. They passed close to the still-tumbling wreck of the alien mother ship. A thorough scan showed no new changes in the wreck. Maybe they’d scared the bastards off. Kris could only hope. They dropped off a buoy on the other side of the jump. The vacuum there still glowed from the wreckage of so many alien ships and the little bit that was the Fearless. They followed the same course and acceleration to the next jump. At this speed, they could not leave a buoy. It would have to be covered by another ship. They made the same long jump they had last time. This system had seen no fight, so they sped on, picking up speed, but at a slower acceleration. The old Wasp’s engines had started to show wear from heavy use. The next jump brought them to the system where the limping Intrepid had fought its last fight, struggling to buy time for the Wasp and Hornet to make their escape.
