Jack Campbell - The Lost Fleet 1 - Dauntless (v2.1)

THE cold air blowing in through the vents still carried a faint tang of overheated metal and burned equipment.

Faint echoes of a blast reached into his stateroom as the ship shuddered. Voices outside the hatch were raised in

fright and feet rushed past. But he didn’t move, knowing that if the enemy had resumed the attack there’d be

alarms sounding and many more than just one blow struck to the ship. And, attack or not, he had no assignment

to run to, no job to fulfill.

He sat in the small stateroom he’d been given, arms crossed and hands tucked in to try to drive away an inner

cold that never seemed to leave him. He could hear the sounds of the ship and her crew, and as long as the hatch

remained closed he could try to pretend the ship was a ship he knew and the crew were people he’d served with.

But those ships and those people were gone, as by all rights he should be as well.

He shifted position slightly, clenching his hands tighter against the cold that welled up from within, as one knee

brushed against the rough edge of the small desk this stateroom boasted. He stared at that edge, trying to grasp

what it meant. The future was supposed to be smooth. Smooth and clean and bright. It wasn’t supposed to be

rougher and more worn than the past. Everybody knew that. But then, wars weren’t supposed to be apparently

endless, going on and on and draining the smoothness and brightness from a future that could now only afford

efficiency.

“Captain Geary, your presence is requested at the shuttle dock.”

The announcement took a moment to penetrate. Why did they want him? But an order was an order, and if he

lost the structure of discipline now he might find he had nothing left at all. He exhaled heavily, then stood, his

legs stiff from inner and outer cold. He braced himself before opening the hatch, not wanting to face the people

outside, but finally yanked it open and began walking.

The passages of the Alliance battle cruiser Dauntless were crowded with enlisted personnel and a leavening of

other officers. They made way for him as he walked, creating a narrow path that seemed to magically open and

close just before and behind him as he plodded steadily toward the shuttle area. He kept his eyes unfocused,

looking straight ahead and not seeing their faces. He knew what would be reflected on those faces. He’d seen the

hope and awe, neither understanding nor desiring it. Now he knew that awe would be joined by anguish and

despair, and he wanted to see those faces even less than before. As if he’d let them down, when he’d never

promised them anything or claimed to be anything more than he really was.
