“And back to normal space…” Jess said as the Wanderer lost its battle against the latest tar pit. “Imperial forces are in the usual setup. There’s more of them this time, though. Nearly half as many again.”
“Maybe we’re getting close to the end,” Ali said.
“It’s unlikely,” Dash replied. “This is only the twelfth layer. Unless they decided to jam them all closer together than when I first came through there should be at least eighteen.”
Ali groaned at that.
“Look on the bright side,” Jess said. “We might be past halfway.”
“Might!” she replied.
Jess grinned, but had the sense not to turn around.
Don’t think I don’t know you’re grinning just because you’ve got your back to me, Ali sent.
Ah. Sometimes he forgot about the link they shared.
Sorry, he sent back.
You will be!
