Thick, cloying smoke filled the air like incense around in a Shinto shrine. It hung around Chu-i Hohiro’s head as it rose from somewhere below-decks, and poured out the shattered bridge windows while she struggled with the wheel to keep the Luthien Maru steady enough for her remaining ‘Heavy Twenty’ to achieve a target lock. Her pilot had been beheaded by a three-foot long steel splinter moments before, when the Clanners uncannily-accurate fire had ruptured one of the ship’s autocannons.
Another foot to the left, and she’d have been laying headless on the bridge floor.
“Captain!” Crewman Reykjavik, one of her two engine ‘snipes’ popped his head out of the wide-open floor hatch. He was downright scrawny for a Rasalhaguian, probably some Japanese blood—but who in the Draconis Combine didn’t have a little? “Fires in the crew cabin, ma’am!”
She regarded him for a brief instant with her placid brown eyes.
“Sorry, ma’am, I suppose you know that already. The electrical system’s out, so the fire director—”
“The fires have to be everyone’s first priority,” Satomi replied with a voice far more calm than her racing heart should have allowed. “Get the gun crews on it, if the fire reaches the magazines—”
“On it, ma’am!” Reykjavik saluted, “should I tell the crew to—”
“Yes,” she answered. “Prepare to abandon ship.”
His eyes widened, pupils contracting to tiny, fearful dots. Satomi knew he’d been about to suggest ‘prepare to go down fighting.’ In the Draconis Combine, the ISF frowned on abandoning military equipment—losing a ship, even to a superior force, could very well be a death sentence for her crew.
Her own eyes narrowed as she turned her attention back over the Luthien Maru’s squat, laser-blistered prow. Let the ISF come. She’d paid hell to earn her way into the planetary militia, she’d made the Widowmakers pay hell to sink her ship, and she’d damn-well make the ISF pay hell if they tried to make her crew pay for following orders. She coughed, then spared a moment to straighten her form-fitting militia uniform.
Chances are, they were all about to meet Enma-daiou, and she would do so with the same dignity she’d shown the Clans.
