Salvage is a simple job. Find a wreck, tear it to bits, sell it on the black
|
||||
market. Salvage is also an extremely complicated job, not least because there's
|
||||
several other people on the wreck with you, and they'll gladly tear you to bits
|
||||
if you get in their way.
|
||||
|
||||
Flynn "Bonesaw" McMillan was often made aware of this fact, and today was no
|
||||
exception.
|
||||
|
||||
"Alyx! Get the airlock ready, we have company!" A chunk of shrapnel the size of
|
||||
his fist whipped past his head as he thumbed his suit's radio switch.
|
||||
|
||||
"On it." Alyx was the getaway pilot. An important job, to say the least. "Do you
|
||||
guys need tethers, or will thrusters cover it?"
|
||||
|
||||
Flathead, the team's gunner, came on the radio. "I got plenty of gas."
|
||||
|
||||
Bonesaw pushed off from the chunk of spaceship he was hiding behind and gave a
|
||||
quick burst on his thrusters. From across the debris field he saw Flathead do
|
||||
much the same. "Alyx, any nearby hostiles?"
|
||||
|
||||
"No hot thrusters, no plasma... I don't see anything," Alyx replied. "Hang on -
|
||||
there's a distress call back near the wreck. Armoured pressure suit,
|
||||
catastrophic breach... this message will repeat."
|
||||
|
||||
"Send me a tether. I'm going back out."
|
||||
|
||||
================
|
||||
|
||||
You never get used to space. You could work on a wreck every day for a year, and
|
||||
you'd still feel your stomach drop when you look up. Or down, for that matter.
|
||||
The human mind isn't built to see the infinite with such regularity.
|
||||
|
||||
The feeling is compunded when you've just been shot and thrown out of an
|
||||
airlock. Cass was surprised how calm she felt. She was going to die, but it
|
||||
really didn't seem to bother her. Chances were she'd pass out from the pain
|
||||
before she suffocated.
|
||||
|
||||
She closed her eyes, and was about to accept the inevitable when suddenly, a
|
||||
voice came on the radio. "KTEK-1A401, I have eyes on you. Please remain calm."
|
||||
|
||||
Cass twisted as much as she could, and just about made out the puff of a cold
|
||||
gas thruster in the corner of her eye. Someone must have caught the suit's
|
||||
automated distress call and come to save her.
|
||||
|
||||
================
|
||||
|
||||
Bonesaw gave a final blast on his thrusters as he pulled up alongside the
|
||||
casualty. "I'm going to attach a tether to your suit and pull you in. Stay calm.
|
||||
You're not gonna die today." A quick survey of the suit revealed the extent of
|
||||
the damage. The torso seemed to have escaped mostly unharmed, both the arms were
|
||||
punctured in multiple places, seemingly by shrapnel. Flecks of purple
|
||||
self-repair gel littered the otherwise pristine white surface of the suit. Very
|
||||
troubling.
|
||||
|
||||
Bonesaw flipped the casualty around and hooked the tether onto the back of their
|
||||
suit. "Alyx! Pull us in!"
|
||||
|
||||
The reply came near instantly. "On it, boss."
|
||||
|
||||
================
|
||||
|
||||
The force of the tether hit Cass like a truck. Her vision was already going dark
|
||||
around the edges, and being pulled through space like a ragdoll certainly didn't
|
||||
help. She couldn't feel her arms any more and she wasn't sure if it was from
|
||||
hypoxia or blood loss. Warnings about low oxygen filled her suit's visor and her
|
||||
ears were ringing and her vison got darker and-
|
||||
|
||||
She blacked out.
