As the Wanderer vanished into Jump space, Vorn went deathly still. The officers around him held their breath, desperately hoping not to draw his attention.
Vorn stared at the screen, trying to understand. Was the Wanderer toying with him? Teasing him? Was it trying to make him angry? Was it trying to force him into a mistake? Into doing something rash? Impossible as it seemed, was the Wanderer forcing him into a position where he was vulnerable?
The thought was both ridiculous and chilling. Ridiculous because no ship that size could possible pose a risk to his fleet. Chilling because the Wanderer continued to do one impossible thing after another. Besides, the Wanderer might not be aiming for the entire fleet, it might be aiming for just him and his battlecruiser.
How, though?
