Samus could see the ships surrounding her. She wore a deeper frown even than usual.
There were three ships around them, and on the horizon she thought she could see more. No doubt, the closer they got to Empire headquarters, the denser they would become, until escape became impossible.
The task before her was to choose the most efficient time and location to break away and escape Coruscant. It was not going to be easy. The moment the Imperials got wind that she was making a break for it, they’d unleash fire. Her ship had very few defensive capabilities, and while flying away there certainly wasn’t much it would be able to do offensively. It would make sense, therefore, to leave Adam in charge of steering while she handled defense.
Tch … defense. Adam may have had a point when he said I needed more defensive capabilities.
Samus reached down deep, expecting to find nothing. But, to her great surprise, found something.
I hate to say thanks to Omni, but … well, I’ll say it was good timing, anyway, the hunter thought to herself. She piped up. “Adam, I’m going to summon something. An upgrade. Take the helm and don’t deviate. Yet.”
“Understood,” buzzed the computer.
Samus hated to lose even a few minutes, flying towards Empire headquarters all the while. But without some type of shield to protect the ship, their chances of reaching a Gate intact were less than slim. It briefly crossed her mind that suicide was an option. It would take them back to the Nexus. But it was too risky. Not to mention too horrible. What if she never woke up? Who knew what rules Omni operated on. There was nothing to lose by trying. She would not take the easy option out yet.
The summoning complete, Samus inspected her arm cannon. There was no room to test it out in the cramped confines of her ship, and it in either case it wouldn’t gauge the shield’s true power. It would be being put straight into action. One of these days, I’ll just have every upgrade I need, she thought wryly.
One of these days.
