Chapter 185“So what do you think?” I asked Captain Roger. I’d already explained the situation to him.

“Hmm…” Captain Roger’s voice cut out for a few moments. “What did you say the odds are of this working out?”

“High. At least seventy-five percent sure that everything will run okay. We can test it with just one person first though, just to be safe.” I looked through the terminal. “I’d just need a few days to get everything up and running- oh, wait. Do your people have feature scrubbers?”

I was planning to add everyone’s faces to the security system, but scrubbers would make that pointless. If I had one, others would probably have one too. They were a staple in the merc world, I think. It was another layer of protection and anonymity that few would pass on.

“Everyone has one. They’re a requirement.”  There was a slight pause as if we lost connection for a moment. “How much of a delay are we looking at?”

Too bad I wasn’t all that great with the fine adjustments of explosives, otherwise I’d do it myself. My last foray into explosives, back at Cold Moon Solutions, was evidence enough of my lacking skill. What was supposed to be a small-scale explosion ended up taking the entire building with it.

”I’ll do it.” Yonrow said. I got a weird sense of deja vu from the guy as set down his sketchpad once more. “I’ll blow it in five minutes. Get far away.”

”Check.” I looked around the Prowler, enjoying its relative safety before opening the door a crack. “Then I’ll see you guys in a bit.”
