Chapter 33: Geri is in His Element

That could either be good or bad in Geri's opinion. Best situation was that they were successful in landing covertly. At worst, they had been spotted by sentries, were expected and this was in fact a trap. But that was why he was well armed, and if their cover was blown then there was nothing to stop them from blasting off under full power. There had been no sign of another chrono-ship, but then they hadn't been able to engage the sonar without potentially giving themselves away. It was a risk, but if this worked it would be worth it. They take this swag, and their reputation would be settled on course. Geri understood Captain Alex's reasons for not giving up on the contract. He just didn't like the odds.
