CHAPTER 151

MOON BASE EDEN

"How long?" William Wallace snapped.

"Twenty-nine minutes Admiral!" Wilson replied.

"Ideas people! I need ideas!" Wallace bellowed.

"We must evacuate the station!" Anari's voice echoed over the COM.

Anari squatted in the corridor of the main engineering section. Her fatigues were sweaty and blood stained her shoulder where she had taken a bullet through the meat of her upper arm. The wound was painful but not life threatening and the medic had simply slapped a bandage on it and given her a shot for pain.

The battle to retake EDEN had been more ferocious than any Anari had fought in throughout her hundred and twenty-six years of life. She had watched many under her command fall, and more still that battled by her side, never falling back and always pressing forward. Hetyon had remained with her throughout the fighting, protecting her with the possessiveness of any lover, but not letting her feelings rule her actions.
