"Who here knows how to fly an Imperial ship?" Alice asked.
The prisoner across the table stopped talking.
She had been planning how they could attack the next ship that came to collect someone sold through the Empire's channels.
Kill the guards outside, take their weapons, then force their way inside before the crew could leave.
Karr shook his head.
Several people around the table gave the same answer.
They had gathered inside the ancient Sovereign's hidden territory beneath Mars.
Fairies stood beside Felidaeans, while prisoners from other clans watched from behind their representatives.
The old vampire's presence had stopped them from fighting, but many still kept a hand on their weapons.
Alice couldn't blame them.
Karr had been abandoned by his own people, and Silen would have been captured if she hadn't helped him.
Sharing a prison didn't make them allies.
"There should be someone who worked on ships before being sent here," Lily said.
