"Yeah," Darcy says brightly. "There's tons of planets out there. I'll bet there's one that's populated and safe for us to visit."

"Like going on vacation." Stacy nods.

"I'm sure you're right," Tasha smiles and stands. "Thanks for the pep talk girls, I feel better all ready."

"Where you going?" Stacy asks as Tasha starts to walk away.

"Oh, I forgot I left something on the ship." She turns back to us as she walks. "I'll be right back."

"Okay, but be careful around that Qhix guy," Stacy calls back.

“He’s still knocked out from Bruke’s recent stunning when they stopped him from destroying the hauler in the cargo hold. Besides, he’s trapped behind a transparent wall.” Tasha gives us a thumbs up and winks as she hurries off. We fall silent, watching the males cooking nearby.

"Scheisse!" Romy suddenly curses a few minutes after Tasha disappears into the Thrushian craft. "You don't think she's fallen for the Kaul, do you?"

Alarmed expressions dart between us as Tasha’s blood-curdling scream tears through the peaceful atmosphere. The males abandon their cooking and rush toward the Thrushian spacecraft, sprinting at full speed as the ramp closes and the engines roar to life.

Thrusters ignite, blowing the males off their feet. The spacecraft rockets into the sky, stealing Tasha away from us.
