- Namir drew a wicked-looking combat blade from a sheath on his belt. "You
- are going to fight for it, aren't you?" he asked. "At least show me
- that courage. Let me know my faith in you wasn't entirely misplaced." Saxon
- drew the stun gun and thumbed off the safety catch. The other
- man laughed. "Oh, that's a choice you'll regret," he sneered.
- Saxon met his gaze. "I'm not going to use it on you." The reflex booster
- kicked in and he brought up the nonlethal weapon, firing two rounds
- into the flat, glassy surface of the main display console. The stun darts, thick
- shells the size of a shotgun cartridge, discharged a powerful surge
- of voltage on impact; the console erupted in a violent shower of sparks and
- acrid smoke. Surge buffers in the ops room tripped, plunging it into
- darkness, but Saxon was already seeing the space in low-light mode.
- Namir reacted, sweeping in with a lunging, lethal attack that Saxon dodged
- by a hair, the blade cutting the air near his face.
- The stink of burnt plastic reached the fire sensors in the ceiling and
- immediately triggered a carillon of buzzing alarms. Saxon snatched at a
- monitor screen and tore it from a desk, with a snake nest of cables trailing
- behind it. As puffs of fire-retardant powder began to rain from safety
- nozzles overhead, he slammed the display into Namir's head with such force
- that the screen shattered and the Tyrant commander staggered
- back under the blow.
