The ship rang like a bell, again, and she was thrown forcefully against the bulkhead. She kept her grip, and was regaining her bearings when Reese floated by with blood globules leaking from his flattened nose and disturbingly open eyes.
The intercom buzzed. All hands, prepare to repel boarders.
“Oh, you’ve got to be kidding me.” She pushed off, sailed across the half-lit compartment, and grabbed a handhold close to the weapons locker. “I hope somebody remembered to charge these things this time.”
No such luck: plenty of beam rifles, no live power cells. “That’s it. I’m not re-upping again.”
