... it should have. Both Mary and Jim looked at each other. "It's a trap!" Mary yelled. Jim was across the room activating a bank of controls next to the star drive, within seconds they were entering another tunnel the strange hum of the tunnel drive straining to maintain the gravity well. 10 minutes later they were dropping out of the tunnel, "Damn it! I was afraid this might happen!" Jim cursed, "the planet's gravity disrupted the tunnel! The tunnel drive has over heated! We won't be able to use it for a few days, son of a bitch I was afraid this was going to happen!" Stomping out Mary and Amber could hear him cursing as he went down the hall way. Mary checked all the equipment everything looked fine as far as she could see, overheated? What the hell was Jim talking about? Looking at Amber, Mary was as confused as she was, an hour later Jim came back relief apparent on his face. "Ok, ok, so I over reacted," Jim said a little red faced, "I have been working on this a long time and when it cut out like that I thought I had burned up the drive. Dickie reminded me about the safety relay we had put in after I had checked the entire system." Mary calmly stood, walked to Jim and slugged him in the face, picking his self up off the floor Jim just watched as Mary re-sat at the control panel. In a somewhat strained voice she stated, "I estimate we are about a day from the planet we left, the readings I am getting indicate that over half the fleet was destroyed along with all 6 of the ...
... world planets. Had we not have left when we did, the resulting shock wave of the other 3 would have probably crippled our shields, they'd have had a chance." Amber grabbed Jim's face kissing him, then she leaned over and whispered, "Jim you need to get ahold of this anger, you're going to get us killed, you'd never fallen for a trap like that before you found out what you did. Go rest and rethink all this ok?" Jim looked at her strangely then nodded before he went out door to the bunk room. "Mary? Are we far enough away to be safe for a while?" Amber asked. Mary's features softened, looking over the readouts she turned back to Amber, "I believe we shocked them for the moment. I don't see any pursuit but knowing those bastards it won't be long before they are after us. You want me to knock some sense back into Jim? If he keeps up like this we're all dead, that man has a great strategical mind but a child could beat him right now." "I know Mary, I hope what I said gets through this wall he's erected around his good sense," Amber replied. "I hope so too, I don't want to kill him but I just might if he keeps this up," Mary spit out. Jim had been asleep about 2 hours when the dream started. A strange but familiar voice started to talk to him. <Jimmy, it's been a long time.> The voice said. <Who the hell is this? I am far too strong for the aliens to invade my mind. You sound familiar, almost like...> <I'm glad you remember my voice, though in here it's just what you would 'hear' from ...
