Excerpt:

Pulling on my bomber jacket, I yell, "Saskia, I found a crystal dealer. I'm heading out to get one."

Saskia Frey, my first mate, walks into the flight cabin, pulling on her jacket, "I've told Kian to watch the children and the ship while we head out."

Nodding, I yell out a quick goodbye to everyone before strutting down the ramp. Saskia and I score a rare hover cab. I input the coordinates and sit back for the ride. We zoom through the city in silence.

Chapter 1
“Oh, hell,” I mumble, staring at the crystal. The crystal is what runs my ship. Its busted. Dead. Like I will be if I miss Dad’s birthday – again. I stand up and walk to the window bank. Is there a dealer on this backwater rock? I pull out my link and do an illegal search for crystal dealers on Sigma Laconda IV. Luckily there is one just on the other side of the city. Pulling on my bomber jacket, I yell, “Saskia, I found a crystal dealer. I’m heading out to get one.” Saskia Frey, my first mate, walks into the flight cabin, pulling on her jacket, “I’ve told Kian to watch the children and the ship while we head out.” Nodding, I yell out a quick goodbye to everyone before strutting down the ramp. Saskia and I score a rare hover cab. I input the coordinates and sit back for the ride. We zoom through the city in silence. Once we get to the crystal dealer, we put a hold on the hover cab and walk inside. The grungy room is full of dangerous, and illegal, wears. I spot the dealer and stalk towards him. “How may I help you lovely ladies?” the cachamoth, a toad faced race of beings, asks. “We need a Citrine or Amethyst,” I state. “Well, you are not asking for anything easy to find. But I might have some in stock. Let’s talk price,” he croaks. “How much?” I grit out. “I’ll go cheap…a thousand creds and an hour with you.” “No, a thousand creds and your life,” I quietly barter. “Is that a threat?” “It’s a promise. That’s my final offer.” “Fine. I’ll be right back with your quartz core,” he walks off. Pig. I stare at the door that the cachamoth went through. As he emerges, I notice the gun that’s now on his belt. I place my hand near my knife as he approaches. “You know,” he causally starts while he gets ready to hand the quartz core over, “I’m rethinking the payment. I think if you aren’t going to help pay with your body, you should pay thirty thousand creds.” I stare at him coldly, “We agreed on a thousand creds. And I’m not pimping myself out to you.” He grins and starts to pull his gun. I’m faster. My knife is already out and angled at a part of his anatomy he’d really miss. “Here are the creds promised. Let my friend look at the core. Then we will leave,” I grin coldly. The pig hands the core over to Saskia. She carefully pulls out the quartz and examine it. Saskia sends a subtle nod my direction as she puts it back into the box. I grin coldly at the cachamoth, “So this is how it’s going to be. Me and my friend are going to leave. You will not attempt to follow or have us followed. You, also, will never try to proposition another being either. I hear even a rumor of it and I will cut your little friend off. Do we have an understanding? He stiffly gives his assent. “Good boy,” I pat his cheek before signaling for Saskia to leave the store carefully. Once she’s clear, I back my way out of the store. We climb into the hover cab after a cautious sweep and head for the hanger we are stuck in. “Think you should have made him an enemy, Sophia?” Saskia questions. “Probably not. But I can’t stand beings like that. He’s just lucky I didn’t need to miss Dad’s birthday. Anyway, do you think we can be space ready once that core is in?” “Sure. We can be space ready. Its not a difficult fix.” I nod as we pull into the hanger, “That’s our first priority.” “Agreed,” Saskia states, “and while I’m getting the ship ready to go, you should try to get everyone ready to launch.” I nod. The hover cab stops outside the hanger. Saskia and I climb out and strut to our ship, the Enchantress. Pulling open the cover, I que-ed the sequence to open the ramp. It opens smoothly with my wolfhound bounding down at me. “Halt, Dagger,” I commanded, and he halted at the bottom of the ramp, “Good boy, Dagger.” “Sorry, Sophia, I didn’t realize that the demon dog got lose until I heard him running for the ramp,” Kian drawled from the top of the ramp. I shrugged as I walked up the ramp with Dagger on my heels, “We need to finish getting ready to launch while Saskia puts the new quartz core into place. Send one of the twins to see if Saskia needs help, and the rest of you just need to make sure that everything is battened down and locked into place before getting themselves situated.” He sarcastically salutes me before he turns around and starts barking orders to the rest of the crew. I continue through the ship to my quarters to lock my belongings into the secure boxes. Dagger follows me to my quarters. He lays down on my bed while I set about putting everything where it belongs. Once that’s done, I call Dagger to my side as I leave the room to head to the captain’s chair in the bridge. I wait for everyone to signal that they were aboard and secured before I started to enter the sequence for launch. The Enchantress took off smoothly as well zipped through the tub that would take us into space. Once we enter the outer layer of Sigma Laconda IV, I hit the hyperdrive. We have to make it to Ch’Korir by tomorrow afternoon.
