تسجيل الدخولVroom!The huge metal bridge of the ship shook hard when it hit the cold Atlantic water. The medical kits on the floor slid over the place and the instruments inside them made a lot of noise. The big map in the middle of the room broke into a lot of pieces and they spun around in the air like fireflies."Sierra! Hold on to me!" Marcus yelled. He grabbed the radar console with his hand and his face was white with pain. "Julian! Protect the baby! The pumps are not working!""I've got him! I've got him!" Julian screamed. He was on top of Leo trying to keep him safe from the glass. "Sierra look at the wires! The electricity is going the way! Its taking energy out of your arm!"I could not scream. My jaw was. My teeth were hurting. The needles in my arm were glowing with a light and it felt like my body was on fire.. Then I heard a voice in my head. It was Christian. He was saying Mma... Mma... Owo... Do. It was a sound and it made me feel a little better."Sierra... Breathe. Let me take t
Hummmmm!The stainless-steel cryo-containment capsule started vibrating with a pitched whine. It made my teeth ache. The frosted glass window of the cylinder began to thaw in lines. Heavy drops of condensation fell onto the floorboards of the bridge.Inside the pressurized chamber three bio-synthetic heart valves were pulsing. They weren't ticking like machines. They were throbbing with a rhythm. It sent a shockwave through the air.Thump-thump-thump-thump!"Julian! Grab the baby! Get him to the command deck now!" I screamed. My voice was cracking with panic. I threw my body forward. My hands slipped in Marcuss blood. I tried to drag my left leg across the metal floor. The silver surgical needle fell from my fingers. It clattered loudly against the iron tracking."The proximity is too close! The induction field is already crossing the room!""The baseline is spiking! It’s tearing through his dampening grid!" Julian shrieked. His face twisted into a mask of horror. He lunged across the
Beep-beep-beep-beep!The little red light on the gold thing in my hand was. Making a high pitched noise. It was like it was vibrating fast. This was sending a pain up my arm. My fingers were closing around it tight. My muscles were locking up. It was hurting my shoulder."Sierra! Let go of that thing! Throw it in the water!" Christian yelled. He was holding me tight around the waist. He was trying to get me to drop it. He was slipping on the blood on the floor. "It is burning your hand, Sierra!""I cannot let go, Christian!" I said. I was crying. The wind was really loud. I was pushing my foot against the base of the tower. My bad leg was just hanging there. "The computer is changing! The other chip is not working! It is putting all the information into my arm!""Julian! Get the cutters from my jacket!" Christian yelled. He was trying to hold my wrist. "Julian! Now! Before it is too late!"Julian was not moving. He was just standing there. He was holding Leo. Looking at his little com
Click-click-click-click.I felt the rhythm vibrating through the iron floorboards under my bare wet foot. It was coming from the lower engine room companionway. The sound was a heavy ticking that seemed to match the dying rotation of the radar mast above us."Julian step back! Get away from that hatch!" Christian yelled, his body moving fast despite the freezing tremors shaking his limbs. He shoved Julian backward with his forearm and grabbed the heavy iron cargo crowbar from the deck racks. His muscles were completely rigid his knuckles turning white as he raised the iron bar over his shoulder. His dark eyes were wide flashing with a protective look. "Marcus give me the sidearm! Now!""The holster... Its flooded, Christian!" Marcus groaned, his body slumping against the base of the windlass as Deborah tried to tie a second canvas binding around his bleeding thigh. His face was gray a glaze of cold sweat on his forehead. He gritted his teeth, his chest heaving as he pointed a tremblin
Clack-clack-clack-clack!The big guns on the Benson-01 ship suddenly. Pointed down at the water. A loud siren started screaming from the speakers above us. It was so loud it hurt my ears."Sierra! The water is boiling! Something else is coming up from the undercurrent!" Julian yelled. He was running back to the radar tower. He was holding Leo tight against his neck. He did not want the baby to get hurt. "The drone isn't looking at the helicopter anymore! Look at its lens! It’s tracking a signature right under our hull!"I pulled myself up using the edge of the navigation table. My bad leg was swinging beneath me. It hurt a lot.. I had to keep going. I wiped the grease and water from my eyes. I looked out at the sea.The big black drone was tilting forward. Its camera was spinning around. It was throwing a light across the waves. The ocean was foaming like crazy. A big whirlpool was forming twenty yards from our ship.Splash!A small yellow capsule came out of the water. It was like a
Crack!A big bolt of lightning hit the tallest radar mast of the Benson-01. The metal tower. Groaned under the electric blow. It sent a lot of hot sparks flying across the rusty iron deck plates. The loud boom of thunder shook the ship. My dead left leg slid across the metal as I tried to keep my balance against the storm."Sierra! Get down! The helicopters rotor wash is coming right for us!" Marcus yelled. He slammed against the steel console to block a flying piece of aluminum. He grabbed my waistband to keep me from sliding into the open cargo hold. His face was slick with rain and engine oil. His dark eyes were wide with fear and a strong desire to protect me. "The pilot is losing control! The cores magnetic pull is dragging his tail rotor down!"Above us the Swiss tactical helicopter spun around in a crazy circle. Its searchlight was flickering like a dying flashlight. It sliced through the rising steam in arcs. The underslung kinetic cannon let out a whine as its electronic trac
That silver flash drive dug into my palm so hard, it actually cut me, but honestly, I couldn't care less. I could barely breathe."The federal agents are leaving the perimeter with Mr. King," Marcus said, his voice slicing through the sterile room like a bullet. He didn't bother to look at me. His
The heavy leather folder crashed against the bedside table, rattling the plastic tray holding Leo’s medical monitors. “You planned this from the very beginning!” I gasped, the words sticking in my throat as I lunged across the sterile hospital room. My hands grabbed the front of Christian’s damp
"Drop the syringe, Rebecca, or I’ll throw you off this aircraft myself," Arthur King said. His voice sliced through the damp air in the hangar.Rebecca screamed and spun around on the aluminum steps of the air-stair. Her heels slipped on the wet metal and she stumbled backward, arms flailing, tryin
The glass tablet in Rebecca Vance’s hand hit the marble floor and exploded into shards after Christian kicked it straight out of her grip. The fragments shot everywhere. Rebecca stumbled back, her face blotched and furious, grabbed by Victoria before she fell.“Christian!” she barked, her voice sh
