You race along the gray route and duck behind the wall. There’s a blast sound behind you, followed by a body drop. You pocket the data chip and keep moving.

It doesn’t take you long before you reach a row of five cryo-cells. On the cells are small windows showing the frozen faces of your mission team. You glance at the control terminal for these cells. It’s already been unlocked. Thank god, because your hacker’s currently on ice in one of the cells. A few key-taps later and the cell doors open.

You extend a hand to one of your spies, but the ship rocks violently. The whole team tumbles hard onto the cold metal floor. They’re having a hard time getting back up. You grab the spy’s hand again, but the shooting pain in his arm forces him to scream.

“We’ll catch up with you,” he says, squinting in pain.

“Don’t say that if you don’t mean it,” you exclaim.

“Judging by the lights, I’d say we have minutes before everyone on-board is memory wiped. Save yourself…”

TO BE CONTINUED NEXT WEEK…

REMEMBER: YOU TOOK THE “GRAY” ROUTE.
