said.
    “Man,
thank you.” Erikon said, his voice shaking.
    “Let’s
go.” Jason said.
    They
moved on and checked other compartments such as weapon bay, medical bay,
communication center and so on. As they walked into the kitchen, Jason noticed
some purple liquid on the deck. He stopped there, checking the liquid.
    “What is
that, Jason?” Erikon asked as he checked every drawer.
    “Looks
like Glycan’s blood.” Jason said as he dipped his finger into the liquid.
    “They
still keep food here, for a vessel like this? Erikon, don’t eat that. It could
be more than fifty years old.” Lucis said as he saw Eirkon stuff food into his
pockets.
    “Hey
vampire, I know you don’t like food. That is why we call you vampire.” Erikon
joked.
    “Jason,
what are you looking for?” Lucis asked as he saw Jason scouring the floor.
    “The
blood is fresh. There could be more. Look around.” Jason said.
    Lucis
and Erikon joined Jason, searching the kitchen.
    “Here,
here.” Lucis shouted. Jason and Erikon ran to Lucis. They followed the blood
trail to a door.
    On the
other side of the door, Gloria was frightened as she heard the tread of steps
again, her body trembling, her breathe shortening. All of a sudden, the door
opened. Someone stepped in and then she felt a gentle touch on her right
shoulder.
    The
moment the door slid open Jason knew it was Gloria because of the aroma from
her body. But he didn’t say anything. He couldn’t believe Glycans did this to
their own kind. He took out his knife and cut loose the laser rope. Gloria’s
hands were shaking and her wrists were bleeding. Just before Jason cut open the
film wrapping her head, Lucis pulled his shoulder. Jason turned back and saw
Lucis shaking his head. He understood what he meant. They were not supposed to
be here. If others found out, they would be in big trouble. He put the knife in
Gloria’s hand and then ran away with Lucis and Erikon.
    Gloria
couldn’t believe what just happened. She held the knife for a long while, and then
she used it and removed the film. She was in great pain, but she was happy. She
stumbled out of the compartment, heading to the exit of the vessel.

Chapter 12
     
    Economics was getting worse. At
first, the company decreased the working time from six days to four days for
half of the mine workers. But now all mine workers were working four days. The
housing fee also increased, which led to a protest on the mine site. But the
protest didn’t change anything except most protesters were fired. Mark didn’t participate
the protest. He spent some time sorting out the data he got from Hselel
Astronomy Center. The first several days didn’t yield anything and he started
to worry that the telescope was not able to see the vessel when it used space
bending to travel. Just before he gave up, he found it and it was Cruiser
General Klizan. The cruiser only appeared in the scope for about one second,
but he could clearly see it passing through the location indicated by the
tracer at the time the transmission was sent. Mark couldn’t understand why
someone used Cruiser General Klizan. It did have special shield over its hull,
but the shield was designed to bypass Hylocan’s deep space detectors in UWII.
Mark tried to found out where the vessel headed, but it went beyond the range
of the telescope. He really hoped he had downloaded observation records of the
nearby telescopes. He knew he couldn’t go back there and there was no way he
could get close to that cruiser. He thought about it for several days and
finally decided to ask Jason for help.
    Jason
got a message from his father. Nothing stood out except two encrypted sentences
which reminded Jason the old days in the preselection institution. Back then
everyone was nice and they got so close that they even read each other’s family
messages. It was then his father Mark came up with an encryption method to
deliver the sentence just for Jason.
    “Just
like the old day.” Jason said to
