《TMNT Dimensions (completed)》Chapter 17: Backwards, part 15
Advertisement
Bree edged around the room, trying to blend into the shadows. Her part in the mission had been clear. She was supposed to hide and throw the metal stars, acting as an annoying bee to distract the enemy. She was so well hidden, that the Splinter and his henchmen couldn't tell where her weapons were coming from. A few times they had tried to throw the stars back at her, but she had already begun to move along the wall, and she just grabbed it and moved on. After a time of inching through the shadows, she came across poor Menacing Mike, who was still unconscious. Her heart ached with pity. He was covered in small cuts and bruises, he had a black eye, and his nose was bleeding and probably broken. He groaned and stirred. Bree bent down, and pulled him up into a sitting position. She didn't know much about medical care, and Donnie and Danyella were too busy fighting to come over and help, even if she somehow grabbed their attention. So, she ripped some of her sash with the sharp edge of a throwing star, and started using bits of it to clean blood and wrap around the worst of the poor boy's cuts. Up close, she could tell he was only fifteen. His hair was dirty blond, and damp from sweat and blood. His eyes fluttered open as she tossed another star at Rage.
"Who are you?" He asked in a tired, raspy voice. He sounded so much like Mikey, her heart instinctively fluttered.
Bree thought about how to best answer his question. Nurse? Family enemy? Friend?
"I'm just someone who wants to help." She whispered back.
His eyes narrowed in suspicion. "No one ever wants to help me." She saw him fight back tears.

"Well I do." Bree replied. She looked around, trying to find something else she could do to help. She looked down at Menacing Mike. "Can you walk?"
He nodded. "I think so."
She helped him up, and gently lead him to the window where she and her friends had climbed through. She quickly and carefully wrote a message onto the last strip her sash with a throwing star. The message read: . She handed the pice of cloth to the Menacing Mike and told him to wait for her and her friends outside, and if something happened to her and the others didn't believe him to give them her pice of sash.
"Thank you." He said, as a tear streaked down his cheek. "I never... No one... No one's ever cared if I was okay..." he was crying openly now.
She gave him a hug. He stiffened at first, not sure how to handle non-violent touch, but soon hugged back. He waved goodbye and jumped up into the rafters.
Bree sighed. Poor Menacing Mike. He was just like Mikey, or would have been, but he had had such a rough childhood, he probably didn't know the true love of family. She hoped that Teng Shen and the Teenage Human Ninjas could show him that love.
She turned back to the battle and concentrated on throwing.

Rimward Bound
Every citizen of the sky-cities of His Majesty's Star-Empire knows that a ship, both sky- and star-, is more then just a few bits of metal. It is the grand sum of it's hull and the crew that sail it. 'Hulls of battle-steel and men to match!' That's what the Navy's recruitment poster's claim at least. Every sailor knows that there is one more component that the city-bound folk ignore at their own peril: the soul of the ship. That it takes both man and hull to make a true ship, and that neither alone serve well or for long. In 8225 Lord Jeffrye Saltonstall the Fourth, Political Lord of the Surveyor's Corps, demands semi-automated ships to 'reduce the loss of life among our brave crews', manages to convince the other politicians and bureaucrats to fund them, and gets the Office of Ship Construction to sign off on the ships as structurally sound. Dockyard workers shake their heads at the ships, muttering that they are cursed from birth, even as construction drags on. In 8230 the Explorer, first of her class, is launched. She sets out in 8233 to great fanfare on a trip expected to last six months. Neither she nor her twelve-person crew is ever heard from again. By 8235, the remaining seven Explorers are are commissioned. Lord Saltonstall managed to find crews for six of them but at the cost of mass resignations. The Night Horse, last of the Explorer class, sat in reserve as her sister-ships served well enough despite ill luck and misfortune. The Office of Ship Construction quietly issues notice that no more semi-automated ships are to be built and that all active Semi-automated ships are to be quietly retired and broken up for scrap over the next ten years. The Night Horse, sitting in reserve, is missed due to bureaucratic oversight. In 8250 Lord Ayland Wynstryngham the Eighth assumes the office of Political Lord of the Surveyor's Corps. His first act is to issue notice that no ship is to be without crew nor sit in dock or reserve for longer then required for maintenance and upkeep. The Night Horse, all but forgotten, is quietly brought back into active service. Recruiting a crew for her proves another matter entirely. What poor or desperate fool would willingly sign on to crew, much less command, a cursed ship and spend months or years in deep space? Well, you would, of course. Where else is a kid from the gutters going to find that kind of freedom in the service of His Majesty? A [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] 2021. Warnings: Second person is used in this work. Semi-Polished draft: Posted chapters are subject to revision as needed as things progress. Mild Profanity on occasion.
