Everyone Will Get A Choice

Once everything had been hauled up top, I grabbed one of the gravity discs and slapped it on the side of the football field sized crate that was packed full. The massive crate slowly started to float.

I let out a whoop and then slapped the corner of the crate, sending it spinning. Luckily, it spun directly at Riley, and the soldier stopped it with one hand, but he looked amazed.

"That is pretty wild. I wasn't sure if it was going to be that easy to stop," Riley said as I grew roots to latch onto the box.

"Yeah, these gravity discs are something else. I wasn't sure that it would work. Kinda makes me want to go deep sea diving for wrecks. I mean, if I had time," I laughed, and Riley nodded, but he looked to have something on his mind. "What's bothering you? You look to have something on your mind."

"That is the case. Remember how you asked me to stay? Well, I don't want Candace to stay here with me, but she is refusing to leave without me," Riley said in a tired voice.
