The Softwire: Betrayal On Orbis 2 (2008) - Plot & Excerpts
I think everyone was too busy trying to save their own lives at that point. Max stormed through the debris, screaming at anyone who stepped in her way. The large, fleshy humanoid that guarded the door sat slumped in the corner, unconscious and bleeding from his head. A thick chunk of stone lay at his feet, and his alien parasites were gone. Ketheria kept looking back and crying out for Nugget. “You have to take her, JT,” Theodore said, and I hoisted her up into my arms. This only made her cry louder. “Don’t, Ketheria,” I told her. “You’re making it harder. You’re too heavy.” We had never been separated before our arrival on Orbis. All two hundred of us lived together on that seed-ship before the Trading Council divided us up. Until then we had never experienced the pain we felt when they took the other kids away. But things were different now. Ketheria knew, and I think she feared never seeing Nugget again. I stayed close to Max as she navigated through every shortcut, every twist and turn, and found the only dry way out of there.
