Suggested changes: {before : after}
[Foreward] Sorry about this change in plans, but as I did the
revisions, I realized that I was only making grammar corrections for
the most part, and that my itch to write new material was too much and
I had to scratch it. So for the moment the revisions are ending and
I'll be going forward with new stuff on this. All the older chapters
are on the webpage if you need to catch up.
Caught up. I sent my comments directly to you.
Having no other choice, Yuri did so. If Iria was annoyed by the
inconvenience and search, she gave no indication of it. Outwardly, she
seemed to be just what Yuri had claimed, a woman looking for supplies.
She was a touch surprised the bounty hunter had removed all of her
weapons before coming onto the station. The woman wore a small armory
every time Yuri had seen her. She wouldn't have been surprised if the
bounty hunter took a shower with a cake of explosive soap on hand and
acid concealed in her shampoo.
Well. She still has the rat bar. I'm sure it counts as a lethal weapon
in some jurisdictions. Even with the original contents.
"Seal's popped somewhere and the place is decompressing. I've felt it
before." Usually on space stations she and Kei had visited, right
before the people they were pursuing caused said decompression.
Before or after? I imagine some times they started the decompression
too. But... it's not their fault!
Iria was already on her feet and heading toward the docking ring.
"Come on, we have to get going. If we hurry, we might get lucky."
"You mean we'll get off the station before it's destroyed?"
"I mean we'll get off the station before Lance gets to my ship."
I guess that's another definition of 'get lucky'.
Yuri ignored the whining about Killgore and Cross already waiting on
the dock for them. Instead she opted to stare out the viewport as the
space station already began lurching in its death throes. That seemed
to be happening a lot lately. At least they hadn't lost any planets on
this mission.
There was that terraforming station though.
Yuri's earlier amusement at Kei's being sent off to the middle of
nowhere turned into resentment. It wasn't fair that Kei could loaf
around on her ass while Yuri was stuck doing all the dirty work.
Which makes me wonder what sort of pot Kei's dropped into.
