Sneak Peek:

This is a tiny
raw
snippet from Wandering Engineer 6 Pirates Bane:

 

“Admiral...”
Phoenix said over the channel, noting an odd return on the lidar.

“Not
now. I'm busy,” Irons growled. “What ever it is, it can wait,” he growled,
pulling on the hinge.

“I'm
afraid not admiral,” Phoenix began, sending out a pulse. There was no return.
The AI thought about it for a microsecond and then sent a rapid fire series of
pulses, these aimed at the local moon. The intent was to ricochet them, to get
the pulse to bounce off the moon to the odd object to get a scattered return.
When the AI got the return a half second later he acted.

Sprite
got the data stream from Phoenix as Irons kept working doggedly on the hinge.
He felt his arm morph and his suit kick as he turned. “What the hell?”

“Defender,
get the admiral inside now,” Sprite said, dropping her voice into a cool
soprano of command. “Phoenix, time?”

“Under
five minutes,” the AI replied. “I can't get a solid number. Whatever is coming
it's good.”

“Someone
want to tell me what the hell's going on?” Irons snarled, fighting the AI for
control of his suit. “Commander!”

“Get
inside now Admiral. Incoming!” Sprite said.

“Shit,
now you tell me,” John snarled, no longer fighting the AI. “Meteor?”

“No!”

“Sprite...”

“No
time Admiral! Phoenix roll ship ten degrees. Brace for impact!”

“If it
hits, I don't think it will. Rolling ship now,” Phoenix replied.

“What
is it?” The admiral asked, looking up over the hull. He could see something
now, something black and not running any running lights. She was briefly
silhouetted against the gas giant beyond.

“Ship. Some sort of
ship or other object. It's under stealth. Cancel that, stealth is dropping!
It's a...”

 

You'll have to wait
for the rest. Hopefully I can get back to writing it so you can see it by
Spring of 2014!
