I turned as Will popped back in. “How’s it going in the Bellerophon?”
He gave me a sickly smile. “You wouldn’t want to be in the cargo bays with the humans. Neil and Herschel are taking care of it as best they can. Imagine roamers running around with vacuum cleaners in their claws…”
The unexpected image made me smile, but the levity only lasted a moment. Constant updates from the battle brought me back to reality.
“We’re being slowly pushed back, Will. And I think they’ve detected the Bellerophon. It looks like they’re trying to maneuver some Death Asteroids to get a clear shot at Earth.”
“At Earth, or at the Bellerophon?”
“Good question. I guess I don’t actually know. Although I can’t see them figuring out what we’re doing, from this distance.”
