"There's an escape pod in the ship, get in now!" Lorin glanced at Shi Li, saw that she'd recovered a bit, and quickly told her to find somewhere safe to hide.
"Escape pod? What's that?" Shi Li felt there was so much she didn't know. 'I shouldn't have left in such a hurry. I should have learned more about all this before setting out.'
But she hadn't dared to wait, afraid that the longer she waited, the more could go wrong.
She couldn't believe that if even the Nutrient Liquid distributed by the Federation was tainted, there wouldn't be someone monitoring the movements of everyone within it.
'The longer I delay, the more likely they are to notice something's wrong with me.'
'Having my plan disrupted would be the least of my worries.'
"It's a small flight pod. It just has limited fuel and no real controls. Where you end up landing is pure chance."
"But it's extremely durable. If the ship is going down, it will eject the pod before it crashes."
