Miri grimaced, trembling as she worked through her frustration. “We’re too late,” she hissed. “He’s got it already.”
A pale-faced Zayne stared numbly into the cabinet. “He’ll restart the war,” she whispered. “I should have…If we had come a few days sooner…Bleakness take me, it’s all falling apart!”
“Not if I can help it!” Miri growled. “Get into the computers! Grab any information you can!”
Zayne nodded again.
She was quick to obey, hurrying over to the computer station the guard had vacated. Bent over with her hands on the console, she began inputting commands. It wasn’t long before she took the disk from her gauntlet and used it to fashion some kind of connector port. She plugged that into the computer. “I’ll need a minute.”
Miri just hoped they had a minute to spare.
