 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Elsa finished another log from Anna and this one was just as uninformative then the last.  She talked about how archaic the computer system was and it would need a full overhaul before she could really track down anything useful.  It appeared that they didn’t get all of her logs because there was quite a long time between them at this point.  The next one was almost a year old.  “I finally have arrived on Miranda,” Anna looked exhausted and the recording looked like it was being done on a holo-device.  “I have been able to make contact with the Children of Aria, but they don’t trust me.  They think I might be an Alliance spy, if only that where the case.  I told them I had information that by itself would be important, but if they wanted a real revolution and change it would need more then what I have on hand.” 

Elsa wished the video recording would get more around Anna so there could be identifiable information around, but the recordings are often just Anna’s face.  It was a beauty to look at and she was as cute as could be, but Elsa needed something more. 

“Elsa we have had a digital intruder,” Aren’s voice rang out.

“What happened?”

“It appears that I was attached with a dormant tracker program after looking into Anna Meyer’s file.  It activated and even though I deleted the file she was able to get my IP.  She searched for us and was able to find out we were on a ship before I altered it,” Aren reported.

“Were you able to track her?” Elsa was hopeful.

“I was able to track her tracer programs that picked up the tracker, but she detected me and removed the files before I could get a concrete location,” Aren reported, “but I know she is in allied space on the western edge of the outer rim.  Nothing more.”

“Well that’s better than nothing.  I haven’t found a whole lot of anything more off these logs.  I’m not sure what to do next so let’s at least head to the most anti Alliance planet in that section of the galaxy.  That should be a good place to start,” Elsa answered. 

“Would you like me to plot the course?” Aren asked.

“Yes please.  I’ll finish these last few logs and go from there,” Elsa replied and activated Anna’s log again.

“They are having a large group meeting about it.  I can’t believe I am doing this.  If mom and dad were still around they would be so angry with me, but this is something that has to be brought to light.  The Alliance has to pay for all those lives on Aria,” Anna stopped and looked down at the ground.  Elsa could see tears on Anna’s face and for some reason it caused a pain in Elsa’s chest, but she ignored it as best she could.  Was it about Anna’s parents or the people on Aria that she was crying about?  Also what did the Alliance have to do with Aria?  Aria did that to their own planet, didn’t they?

Anna silently cried for a bit and Elsa couldn’t help watching.  It was the strangest feeling the desire to hug Anna and tell her it was going to be ok.  “Was this all one big mistake?  Did I really give up everything for this foolish quest?  I wish I had someone I could lean on right now,” she then turned her head and the holo went blank.  It was the last one and nothing in the entire series gave them anything.  Elsa felt the ship jump to warp speed.

“Aren what is the estimate–“

“Twenty one hours Elsa,” Aren interrupted with the information, “you should probably get some more rest before you have to clear another compound full of hostiles.”

Even though Elsa had lain in bed the whole time she was pretty tired.  “I guess you are right.  How long has it been since the pain killers?”

“You can take more if you wish.”

“Thank you Aren.  You are the best,” Elsa replied as she got up and headed to the med bay.  It was best to keep the painkillers going before they totally wore off.  That way it didn’t get too terrible. 

“I know,” Aren’s reply was funny and Elsa couldn’t suppress a laugh.  “That might be the first time I have heard you laugh without any scorn in your voice.

“It’s probably the pain killers.  Why don’t you give the logs a once over and see if you find anything I missed,” Elsa popped the pills and headed back to her bed. 

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“They didn’t get anything useful and we always knew that they would find my empty file eventually.  I’m actually shocked it lasted this long.  I have feelers out for my arrest and when that comes out I can just delete it,” Anna was still trying to calm David down.  He had gone ballistic wanting to delete everything and light the whole place on fire after Anna told him of her night’s adventure versus whoever was tracking them.

“We need to get this thing on the news now,” David was freaking out still.

“What the thing that looks like a shower door handle.  It and the files that I do have could hurt them, but it won’t be enough.  We have our next target we need to be patient and get the whole puzzle before we get the information out there,” she talked calmly and saw it was calming him down. 

“You are right.  That person could be on their way though.  I still think we need to move,” David answered more calmly.

“Ok we can wall in the server room and move to the secondary location.  That way if they did get anything they will find the servers first and no lives lost,” Anna said and David nodded.  “I’ll get the lines activated while everyone packs up.  The once everyone is moving I’ll pack up my stuff and come last.”

David agreed and went out barking orders to everyone.  Anna sat down and started activating the secure lines to the secondary hideout.  It was probably better to be safe than sorry and also they could potentially set a trap for the person hunting them.  The men brought in materials to wall in the server room while she worked on her computer. 

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Elsa woke up and felt worlds better than the day before.  She looked at the clock and saw it had been forty eight hours since the medi-foam on her arm.  That meant she needed to change it and the bandage.  So she got up and made her way to the med bay.  “How is our ETA?” she asked Aren.

“Fifteen more hours,” Aren answered.

“That can’t be right I slept for ten of the twenty one hours.  What happened?” Elsa asked as she unwrapped her arm.  Thankful for the Medi-foam’s antiseptic properties it didn’t look like there was an infection.  She was also thankful for her increased healing that she got from some sort of serum when she was a baby.  The wound should have taken weeks if not longer to heal is now half way closed and moving her fingers didn’t hurt nearly as bad. 

“I have rerouted us to a different planet,” Aren answered in an almost hesitant voice.

“Why,” Elsa knew that Aren wouldn’t have done it without good reason.  Elsa then sprayed foam into both sides of her arm and then began to rewrap it up.

“The first log when Anna turned to look at whoever talked.  I was able to see what was on one of the other computer screens.  On it showed an itinerary that included a planet known for its dislike of the alliance, the top secret lab and a return to that planet,” Aren brought up a holo next to Elsa and on the screen next to the back of Anna’s head was another screen.  Aren the magnified the image and the letters were blurry, but you could totally make out the information. 

Elsa had to laugh at the irony.  “What?” Aren asked.

“In that video Anna exclaimed that she had the lab location the whole time.  It was in the first thing she found.  Isn’t it ironic that the same thing happened to us?  The first video log we watched had the information staring at us,” Elsa explained as she left the med bay to get more food.

Unfortunate thing about her increased healing also meant that she needed to eat more, but they were headed to a planet in the Alliance space.  So she could resupply at the local Castle and everything would be right as rain.   “Aren back to the shipment of computer parts.  Was this planet on any of those lists?”

“Checking,” Elsa grabbed three lunch bags and returned to flight deck to wait for Aren’s report.  “Yes!” Aren sounded excited, “I have a specific address that all the parts were delivered too.”

“Perfect.  We will stop off at the local Castle to resupply and rearm.  Then I’ll head to the address to investigate.  Aren is the gang symbol I placed on my face prominent here?”

“They are on the other side of the Galaxy, but the local gang might not appreciate your tattoo,” Aren answered, but Elsa was willing to take the risk.
