Everyone mobilized when Yao Yuan reached the jet hangar. He leaped out of his damaged combat jet. Other replacement jets were already sitting at the rails, ready to lift off.
Other Homo Evolutis mulled about in silence, austerity and severity following them like a cloud. Some opted for a cigarette break, while others closed their eyes in meditation. Few stood staring at the Hope’s walls as if in a trance. They despaired after the upcoming battle, but they knew they couldn’t surrender. If they weren’t doing it for themselves, they at least had to do it for their families who depended on the Hope to survive.
Yao Yuan got from the patrols Bo Li’s location. He took the electromobile to meet her at the lab. When he arrived, Bo Li was in the middle of a huddled discussion with a group of people. She swore a professional pants suit and black stilettos. She was fully focused in her work, and there was a fiery glint in her eyes.
"Bo Li!"
