Ontarii shifted forward, grabbing the human captain before she could hit the ground. Her eyes moved up to lock onto his as Smith pushed past them and sprinted down the corridor.
One of Ontarii’s men grabbed him, sending a bolt of electricity through him.
Smith started shaking, his mouth filling with foam. Then the man fell to the ground.
Everything happened at once.
Alvarez brought up his weapon and held it against the head of the other guard, who was holding his bioelectric weapon charged and ready. The guard who had discharged into Smith was bending over the man, trying to determine if he was okay.
The bald woman ran to Smith’s side and started yelling at Ontarii’s guard.
Then the lights went out.
“Let me go,” the captain said, pulling away from Ontarii and shoving forward in the blackness.
Fuck, Ontarii thought.That went to shit quickly.
Bodies moved around him, but the only light was coming from the luminescence of his bioelectricity. There was no way to get a handle on the chaos.
The lights flashed back on and Ontarii’s eyes flew to the captain who was standing in front of a console. He scanned the room. Three of her crew were no longer in the area.
He approached the human female, entering the small bridge. “Captain, we have a problem.”
