Overview: Sigrid had been trained since childhood for moments exactly like this. She was made to survive. But all her training, all the shouted words of her instructors, abandoned her. She couldn’t focus on anything, she couldn’t concentrate, and it was going to get her killed. She didn’t even see the gully until she tripped and fell into it, rolling down the embankment. But it was enough to shake away the fog. That, and the sound of alarms blaring behind her.
Scores of men were emerging from the facility’s entrance behind her. Soldiers. A hunting party. Then she heard something else: barking.
Dogs. They had bloody dogs.
Glancing back, she saw the search beams and heard their shouts. From somewhere behind her, hidden amongst the trees, an air vehicle was sent aloft. Sigrid glanced skyward. Thunderhawks. She counted three of the heavy gunships rising above the canopy of pines. Two of them rumbled toward her and then past, close enough for her to feel the heat of their thruster wash blast over her.
She hadn’t even remembered cloaking. It was perhaps the only thing that saved her.
The third Thunderhawk stayed back. It hovered above the soldiers, moving with them. Belly-mounted floodlights illuminated the woods, lighting their way. They’d be scanning for her. She could only hide so long. She had to move; she had to stay ahead.
Lost, alone and armed only with the stolen knife, Sigrid did the only thing she could. She ran.
