EVE : Sounding the Horns of the Hunt 5
Author: From:www.buyfastgold.com
After we'd strapped in those cases who were near-critical and prepped them for removal,
Jonak told me he was going to look for the Angel, and that I should take the casualties
to our own ship and stay there. It was a perfectly sensible idea: Someone had to tend
to the wounded and, if something went wrong, be ready to make a getaway. Everyone else
on the caravan was in good enough shape to live but not good enough to defend
themselves if some pirate started wreaking havoc. And besides, Jonak had a lot more
combat training.
I kept the criticals conscious as I shuttled them through the tube back to our ship. It
would make the ride more unpleasant for them, but until I could get them into our sick
bays and do a more thorough scan, I couldn't risk having them slip into a coma. I kept
up a gently rolling dialogue all the way, asking them about their trip here, and
keeping their minds off things as much as I could.
They told me things I already knew, that they were an Ammatar caravan that had gone to
the border of Angel space for some strange business. I nodded and hummed and encouraged
them to keep talking, trying to judge their state by the strength in their voices. It
was a secret mission, so the Ammatar corp they belonged to had washed its hands of them
beforehand. If they landed in trouble, they'd be on their own. Their Ammatar employers
had heard that the Angels had been making deep-space incursions into hereto unexamined
pockets of space and digging up various items, including some that might prove of
marked value in the future. The Ammatars didn't particularly know what these items
were, and had little interest in any particular ones, but they wanted to strengthen
their illicit trading ties to the Angels just in case they could reap some profits or
get first dibs on lucrative offers. That was why, I realized, they hadn't sent out an
emergency call to their company, but only to the Sisters.
