Elena received a notification.She picked up her tablet. I watched her with an inquisitive look. "Who is it?" I said.She didn't answer. Her eyes moved across the screen. Her lips pressed together. She blinked frantically."Elena."She turned the tablet toward me."The Odyssey is a decoy. The control center is on the station. You have 72 hours."Kenji grabbed the tablet from her hand. His fingers were tight on the edges. He read it once. Then again. His jaw tightened."A decoy?" he squinted.Elena nodded. "Someone on the inside sent this. Someone who wants us to know the truth. Do you think it's my cousin?"Caiman stepped closer. "Or someone who wants to lead us into a trap. Think about it." He said firmly.I took the tablet back and scrolled down. There was more."Station designation: Icarus II. Orbital vector: Low Earth. Crew: 12. Weapons: Railguns. Lifeboats: 4."Rina leaned over my shoulder. "Lifeboats?"Elena's voice was quiet. "For the investors. When everything falls apart, th

I dropped the folder on the table. It landed with a slap that brought everyone's attention."Singapore," I said. "Phoenix's main manufacturing plant. That's where they make the therapy. That's where we hit them."Kenji stood up from the floor. Leo stirred but didn't wake. Kenji stepped over him carefully.Elena pulled out a chair and sat down. She rested her hands on her laps and clapped them together."What exactly is the therapy?" Maja asked from the corner. She was awake now. Sitting up on her blanket. Her voice was small.Everyone turned to look at her.Elena took a breath. "It's a so-called treatment Phoenix sells to the public. They say it extends your life. Makes you healthier. Maybe stronger."Maja frowned. "Like the tanks?""No. No. It's not." Elena shook her head. "The tanks made clones yea. The therapy is for regular people. People who don't know what Phoenix really is."Leo sat up too and rubbed his eyes. "What does it actually do?"Elena starred fiercely at him. Then at m

She was quiet for a moment. Then she turned to the console. “I am not going to stop you. Do as you wish. I have long anticipated this. But I will let you know that once you click this reset button, there is no going back.”I replied.” We are fully aware of that. We don't need a traitor like you telling us anything.”“I was just a bait.” She said with almost watery eyes.Do us the honours then.Her fingers moved across the keys.The screens flickered.A progress bar appeared on the main screen.Ten percent.Twenty.Thirty.I watched the screen. My heart was pounding.Forty percent.Fifty.Sixty.The door behind us opened.They were guards. Six of them. Black uniforms. Blank eyes.Kenji moved swiftly and his knife went into the first guard's throat before the man could raise his gun.Caiman took the second. I shot the third. Rina shot the fourth. Kael took the fifth one. All this happened within a blink of an eye.The sixth guard ran out. Everything happened too fast. Kenji threw his kn

The boat was just there sitting on the dark water. The engine was dead. Caiman had the cover open and his hands inside. He brought his fingers out and black grease came with it.I stood at the front of the boat. The Odyssey was a gray shape far away. Closer than before but still far. I turned to Kenji. “You should have checked it properly before we started the journey. Now we are stuck in the middle of nowhere.” I said with a disappointing look on my face.Kenji stood up from his bent position and turned to look at me. He rolled his eyes upwards showing just the lower part of the pupil in annoyance. “Of course. You could have still checked to confirm. It's not a bad idea if you did. I don't think you remember but let me remind you. Borealis used to do this for us.”He walked past me and sat on a crate near the back. His knife was in his hand. He wasn't cleaning it. He was just holding it.Rina pulled on the oars. Slow and steady. Kael sat across from her watching the water behind them

Caiman spoke. "So we still have to hit the ship.""Yes. But this time we are not destroying it. We are using it."Kenji turned around. His face was still hard. But his eyes were different. Softer."How long would it take?" He said softly.Elena looked at the papers. "I need to study. Maybe a day. Maybe two.""We do not have two days.""You have two days. Or you can use the kill switch and kill everyone." She said and immediately looked away from Kenji.Kenji was quiet.I put my hand on his shoulder. "We do this my way."He looked at me. His jaw was tight. Then he nodded."Two days," he said.Elena nodded. "Two days it is."The room was quiet again.But different. Maybe, softer.Maja woke up. She sat up and rubbed her eyes."Father?"I walked over to her and knelt down."Yeah?""Are we going to be okay?"I looked at her face. At her tired eyes and at her messy hair."I do not know," I said. "But we are going to try."She looked at Kenji. "Is Uncle Kenji okay?"I looked at Kenji. He was

The fire was dying that evening. Nobody moved to add wood.We had been in this mining town for three days now. Just hiding. Just waiting. Just watching the road and waiting for Helena to come back with more guards and more helicopters and more lies.But she did not come. Nobody came.That felt worse. Like they forgot about us. Or like they already won. I didn't know if I was wrong to feel that way.I sat on a crate in the middle of the room. My gun was in my lap. My hands were on top of it. My fingers were cold.The fire crackled. A log shifted. Sparks flew up.Kenji's voice came out of the corner. Low and flat."I think we should use it."Elena looked up from her papers. Her eyebrows pulled together."Use what?""The kill switch." Kenji did not move. He did not look at her. His eyes stayed on the wall. "End it. All of it."Elena stared at him. Her mouth opened. Then closed.Caiman turned from the door. His hand was on his rifle. "That would kill us too.""I know.""The kids.""I know
