She's Gone
Joanna grunted at being thrown against the wall again. They'd been on the run for eight hours, trying to get to somewhere safe but Joanna was starting to think they wouldn't. That was the fourth time that hour.
"Execute General Order 13!" Papa's voice sounded through the ship. Joanna grabbed two padds out of desk, and ran for the shuttle bay, trying to keep her balance, not panic. She jumped backwards just as a bulkhead door was sucked closed.Panicked screams sounded all around her as she backtracked and tried route after route. She knew this ship like the back of her hand and she was cut off.
If she was cut off she had to get to an escape pod and hope they were still live to get out with. She knew her duty, she had to get out so Dad wouldn't have to worry about her. That was their deal. Had been as long as she'd been on this old ship. Sorry pretty girl. She patted the bulkhead she was just thrown into.
YES! She found an escape pod, and slid in. Closing it behind her, she made sure the comm was active and then blasted out. "Ensign McCoy, away on an escape pod."
"Good job Jojo," Bones said. "Baby girl..."
Her heart leapt into her throat. "NO!"
"I'm sorry," Jim choked out. "But..."
"You..."
"I love you baby..." Bones said thickly. "We love you..."
"We do," Jim choked out.
"Love you too Daddy, Papa," she cried, tears streaming down her face. "Daddy...Papa."
"Never forget," Bones ordered sternly. She couldn't watch them go. "Baby..." The comm went staticy and she felt the escape pod accelerating, throwing her back and forth in the pod. She hadn't secured herself and regretted it now as her head hit something sharp and she fell unconcious.
