She put on the helmet and mounted the Ducati.
The Toronto lowered itself to just above the
roadway and turned around so that it was going backwards. Hernandez then rode
the motorcycle out of the rear hatch. She was behind the DB5 within seconds.
“Toronto to Hernandez,” Albert said fifteen
seconds later.
“Report,” Hernandez said.
“Two other vehicles with modifications are
approaching ahead of the DB5. Be aware that they aren't British makes.”
“So, they could be Warsaw Pact agents,” Hernandez
surmised. “I'm on it. Maybe we could gain the British agent's trust first.”
She consulted the tricorder she had placed just below the
bike's headlamp. The information came up in the helmet's HUD. The two other
vehicles had just driven off the the other side of the motorway. She also could
see the DB5 take evasive action. She breathed deeply, and then rode into the
fray...
Avoiding the live fire from the three cars, Hernandez
targeted the engines of the two newcomers with the missiles she had designed.
The engines exploded...
The DB5 came to a stop about 100 meters down the road
from the wreckages.
Having got off the bike, Hernandez warily approached the
driver's side of the DB5, torch in hand. The agent emerged. She couldn't help
but notice the Walther PPK he held in his right hand.
“Thanks for the intervention,” he said. “But I would like
to know who you are.”
Hernandez took off the helmet, letting her hair fall
loose. “Daniela Hernandez.”
“Bond. James Bond.”
12. Interlude
“Commanders log, Day 1036. It is over a week since we
left Alae-Lakria, as Crewman Alera-Kalrea calls it. She and Crewman Nina have
fallen into a routine.”
Alpha sighed. She was certain there was more going on
with Nina and Aiala than they had let on. She looked to Nina where she was
looking over the data on the first alternate Earth the Baffin had
encountered. 'Maybe she has found that British agent interesting,' she thought.
She shook he rhead and looked to the ENH as he sat at the
Conn making slight adjustments to the ship's course as it came across
variations in subspace. She then sensed the Baffin slow some.
“A slow zone, sir,” the ENH reported. “Do you want to
slipstream past it?”
“A moment, Pilot,” she said.
“Aye.”
“Alpha to Engineering. Beta, what's the status of the
Quantum Slipstream Drive?”
“One of the remaining Benamite crystals is in the
chamber, but I don't know how long it will last.”
“It'll be a hop to get past a slow zone.”

“Yes,” Kiara answered. “But that’s more due to Susan
upgrading it than being part of it’s original function. On Tyria, it interfaced
with the teleporters in the settlements. Choose the settlement and away you go.
The teleporters were distributed through the settlements and hardly needed
maintenance.”
“That’s interesting, but it still doesn’t seem fair for
Nathan,” Felicia said, looking Kiara steadfastly in the eyes.
“His choice,” Kiara returned without a flinch.
“I don’t mind,” Nathan said.

Meridian appeared in a similar manner to the way it had
60 years earlier. The readings the Jadzia Idaris recorded did not
contradict what the Defiant had picked up.
