Excerpt of Intergalactic Witness Protection
There
is something to be said about having no body. It is a lot easier to
get where I want to be when I don’t have to worry about silly
things like maneuvering around walls and finding doors and all that.
Of
course, it still has nothing on being in control of my ship and being
everywhere at once.
“Nicholas,”
I say, “do you copy.”
“Alicia
Ivy,” he mutters under his breath, giving me the impression that
wherever he is, it would be dangerous for him to speak any louder.
“How do you have a comms? I thought you were temporarily
intangible.”
“I’m
using the emergency line of mental communication I established in
your head months ago while you were sleeping.”
He
mutters something under his breath before thinking something much
louder. “That’s an invasion of privacy.”
I
sense him activating his memories, searching them to see what he
might have been thinking or dreaming that I might have hacked.
For
a moment, I almost consider telling him the truth- that my captain
had me establish that connection from the first day he was on our
crew.
But
then we both remember that there are more important issues at hand to
deal with.
