Chapter 144: 28.5 Onboarding?

The [Rig] lurched with a loud groan, the pull of momentum almost knocking me off my feet if not for me bracing myself against the console as hard as I possibly could. The entire bridge seemed to tilt back against the bow, the whole vessel possibly lurching against the anchor as it kept us tethered in one spot.

"I'm also fine," Shade sounded off. "And based on what I'm hearing, the rest are fine as well."

"That's good," I cracked my neck in anticipation as I watched the charts carefully. "All that's left is for them to drift towards us. From there, we board and commandeer the vessel."

"Yes! Finally some action!"
