Chapter 1002

• Story 298-
• Return to Earth- Chapter 1 Weapons fire on a space station was normally cause for concern in more ways than one. One shot in the right spot and the area opened to space. Then this was station six. The lowest of the low and every manner of criminal element came here. There were still laws, but on station six, many things were legal that were not on other stations. One of them was the sale of old style weapons. They didn’t pose much threat to the station. However, without the proper protection they could still kill a person.
• Daniel Miller shook his head as he ran for cover and barely missed having a round hit him. It was his first day on the station and trouble already found him. He dodged another round and jumped behind a planter for cover. He watched as the round impacted on the far wall shattering a control panel. He lifted his own weapon and checked the charge. It was near full and even with the backup he had he was sure he couldn’t hold them off alone. There had to be at least fifteen of them. The fact that they were also jamming the communications told him they were not just rowdy locals drunk and losing their minds. He only needed to keep them at bay until the station security got the reports or noticed the area jamming. Being on the Emporium ring normally had some advantage. With all the shops and eateries, someone somewhere had to be able to get a call in. The council wouldn’t risk losing commerce and had a great deal of redundancies in place. However, it also meant more could be harmed.
