Tanya was slammed back into her crash seat as Starfire converted from jump and her fusion thruster once again found purchase upon the tangibly solid vacuum, and the incomprehensible laws of inner space were left behind. Confusion was once again exchanged for the regular, understandable and immutable laws of the known physical Universe. Tanya slammed the stick over sideways in anticipation of the incoming plasma cannon fire that she knew would momentarily be pouring back in her direction as soon as Felone’s recognition program identified Starfire. The merest touch would be sufficient to destroy her little Starfire and Tanya with it, which necessitated the extreme maneuvers, and the sudden inertial change nearly took her consciousness from her as she pushed Starfire and herself to their mutual breaking points. The little ship shuddered and groaned under the intense lateral stress, but Starfire was a strong ship. Somehow Tanya herself retained that tiny pinpoint of the visible universe to which her awareness was suddenly constricted, her vision tunneling, blackness closing in from all sides and consciousness trying to flee as she forced Starfire to slew sideways and down upon the freighter, and then the monstrous ship’s many plasma cannons were pouring their green plasma back at her, the green fire barely missing. The plasma flew straight as an arrow but as Starfire slewed to the side it appeared to Tanya’s senses as if the plasma was curving away from her.

Chronicles of a Space Mercenary@Amazon
Last Chance had originally been a
multi-billionaire politician's private luxury yacht. It had been
very well armed for its class but pirates are always a concern and
can be a deadly nuisance. I had stumbled upon some damning
video surveillance of the individual in question (without repeating
names, I am a man of my word) in a very sordid type of
circumstance and the individual had found Last Chance a small price
to pay for my silence. Blackmailing the rich and ruthless can be a
dangerous occupation and I have always believed since that I got out
of it just in time. I’ve made many enemies since, I seem to have
the knack for pissing off powerful people, but now that I am the
Captain of my own ship, it has become just a trifle more difficult
for those who would like to kill me to make those wishes a reality.
