âDammit, Regâ¦use that routine. Youâll take them by surprise. Your pilots will kill thousands in the first few minutes.â Stocktonâs hands were clenched in tight fists, and his body shook with frustration. For five years, heâd longed for the ability to control his thoughts, his distress, to shake his body. But now that he could do it, there was only misery. Heâd come up with the best possible way to help his people against the attacking Highborn fighters, and heâd actually pulled it off, regained control of his body and sent out the message exactly as heâd planned.
But no one out there believed it was legitimate. That made sense, of course, but Stockton hadnât spent a lot of time worrying about that, not when heâd been far from sure heâd even be able to send the message. There hadnât been any purpose in worrying about whether the Confeds and their allies out there would trust it. Heâd expected them to mistrust itâ¦but heâd hoped they would at least analyze it, check it out. It was real, completely accurate, and it was the key to giving them all a chance in the battle about to commence. Heâd prayed that they would realize thatâ¦while there was still time.
âCâmon, Regâ¦â He still didnât completely believe Reg Griffin was alive, not with any degree of confidence. But the pilot heâd been tracking, the one he was almost sure was the overall strike force commander, flew just like Griffin. So much so, it was eerie. Heâd taken to calling that pilot, âReg,â even as his mind rebelled against any potentially false hope she could somehow still be alive.
Still, thatâs the leaderâ¦thatâs the one you have to convinceâ¦
He was more certain of that than he was of any hope-inspired notion that his old protégé was still alive.
He looked down at his comm unit. Heâd taken a wild chance transmitting the routines. If he sent another communique, or engaged in an ongoing discussion, he was begging to be caught. He was deep in the middle of the Highborn formation. If any of the Highborn ordered his death, it would come quickly. He was the best pilot in the fleet, but even Jake Stockton couldnât defeat a hundred adversaries, or a thousand.
He didnât care about deathâ¦but he needed to survive long enough to convince his old comrades to use the weapon he had given them.
Let me reach them, somehowâ¦and then you can take meâ¦
He tapped out a code on the small keypad. Somehow, he still remembered the Pact frequencies and access codes.
Assuming theyâre still functionalâ¦
He took a deep breath, and he activated the unit.
âPact strike force commanderâReg?âthis is Raptor. I repeat, this is Jake Stockton. I am the one who transmitted the codes to you. They are accurate. You must use them.â
He leaned back in his seat, and he could feel the tension in every centimeter of his body.
âI repeat, this is Jake Stockton calling Pact commanderâ¦â
