“Long time no see,” Jack winked at Roxanne. “Come on, reconsider?”
“Eww,” Roxanne spoke. “Not a chance in purgatory.”
“Wait what?” Veronica looked at Jack and Roxanne in a confused state of mind.
“Nothing nothing,” Jack winked again and pretended to ignore what he said.
“He’s trying to ask me out,” Roxanne spilled it out.
Veronica looked at Jack mouth opened, “Really? Sheesh, boys these days. They just have the nerve-.”
“GUYS!” Aiden screamed and stared at Jack. “ENOUGH! This place is gonna blow in....”
“About 2 minutes,” Jack responded.
“…2 minutes,” Aiden spoke. “Cut the immaturity and let’s get going to the mothership over here as Walker says, to further stop this invasion.”
“Who wants to go first?” Sandra spoke. “I can only take one at a time.”
Veronica and Luis volunteered to go first as both Roxanne and Sandra began to carry them, as they flew towards the mothership over the holographic bridge. Allison and Aiden looked at Jack sternly as they got more curious about him as they started to get to know him more. Jack looked back at them displeasingly, as he spoke “I get it guys, you don’t trust me. I just saved your lives. You still haven’t thanked me for that.”
“Thanks,” Allison spoke kindly and began to see that Jack was right. “Aiden always has trust issues with anyone, he’s a very defensive kind of guy. I apologize for that.”
“That’s fine,” Jack head towards Morales followed by Aiden and Allison both.
Morales groaned in agonizing pain, the world was beginning to get clearer rather than blurrier, got up rubbing his eyes. He stared at Jack unpleasantly and in disappointment on how he got tricked into Jack’s so-called countdown to kill him right on the spot. Jack pointed his magnum towards his head again and spoke.
“Alright, one more time. Spill out the details on who you really work for. Cause if you do not comply within a minute and a half, you will die on this Freighter, I set the detonators everywhere including the engine room. I am not bluffing. So, spill the details.”
“WALKER! DAMN YOU!” Morales spoke in anger.
“ANSWER ME!” As Jack switched the trigger on the magnum to non-safety this time.
“STOP!” Allison screamed. “I can read minds. Let me try-.”
But before Jack could respond, it was barely a minute left until the Freighter was about to blow, as he saw Roxanne and Sandra arrived back about to lift both Aiden and Allison. Jack stared at Allison as he still pointed his magnum to Morales.
“Please!” Allison spoke.
“GO!” Jack cried. “Don’t worry about me. Go now! I will be fine.”
“It was nice knowing you Jack,” Aiden smiled and spoke politely. “Thanks for everything.”
“NO!” Allison cried as she and Aiden were both taken away, lifted by Roxanne and Sandra towards the mothership. Jack sighed deeply, he was too soft hearted to risk Allison’s life just to use her ability for his own benefit of gaining vital information on the identity of Silver Ny, Timemaster, Kimon, this invasion and many more details. Jack knew that innocent teenaged girl had a whole life ahead of her, although Jack was pretty young too with the ship about to explode in less than 27 seconds!
“Alright, where were we,” Jack spoke firmly. “Answer the questions, you have 25 seconds until this place blows sky-high, you will die along with me in it.”
“Hahahaha,” Morales laughed. “You are bluffing aren’t you Walker?”
Jack saw a gleaming key drive necklace around Commander Morales’ neck, he immediately recognized what it was. It was an EPCCD (Emergency Pilot Command Console Drive), which allowed any civilian to encrypt all data into their brain on how to pilot a Traveler, Heliblader, Sparrow, etc which Jay already had encrypted into his mind. The 30th century had a way of training their soldiers or civilians very fast, in case of an emergency landing were to happen but only certain civilians with a high enough IQ were able to access the emergency vault within the Traveler which allowed them to get the EPCCD. That way, the most intelligent civilian would use the drive and encrypt it into their minds, rather than a stubborn or clumsy civilian trying to take over or hijack the ship. Jack snatched the necklace from Morales’ neck and put it into his pocket.
“Why you!” Morales exclaimed. “You are bluffing Walker!”
“I’m not,” as Jack began to run away towards a Sparrow. He steadied himself into the pilot seat, as he began to turn on the vehicle but had no idea on how to start the Sparrow itself or even control it. He looked for a button that had a neutron interface symbol with the atom molecule on it displayed. As he pressed the button, a neutron interface began to appear and it started its initiation process as little needles began to penetrate Jack’s head, but luckily, he did not feel too much pain from it. The HUD (heads up display) began with a prompt message, asking for an EPCCD or APCCD (Addon Pilot Command Console Drive), he selected the EPCCD option and inserted the drive into the awaited slot, as the initiation started within seconds.
“Process beginning!” The Sparrow AI spoke aloud, as the needles in Jack’s brain began to correlate with the data in the drive that was connected to the Sparrow’s mainframe. It started to download tons of packages of Heliblader, Sparrow, other types of flying cars and even the Planetarium Traveler X1 model along with other models.
“Process completed!” The Sparrow AI spoke aloud 2 seconds later, as it downloaded a few Terabytes of data into
