Eli was their newest crew, and in a few months, Tom had learned one thing-the man had a freakish ability to find cover in a firefight.

Ramsay had pure white hair that fell past his shoulders and the best poker face Tom had ever seen, but right now he was looking dramatically unhappy. Ramsay was scratching his ass now, and Tom tried to figure out if that was some signal or if the man just had an itch. The dirt was hot under his stomach and the sun glinted off the Reseda’s hull. After a quick look, Tom settled back down in the tall weeds. He’d be damned if he could figure out why Command wanted some half-alien on their missions, but no one was checking with Tom. Tom itched to turn around and see if their genta was wandering around, but he held perfectly still in the long grass where any movement could betray him.

He was wide enough to be a genta, but he looked a little on the short side. The other captain had genta blood in him, either that or he was one of those fools who went around painting himself blue. Tom sighted down the end of the rifle and watched as Ramsay and Eli talked to the captain of the Reseda.
