Quantum Fold II – Tensions - Chapter 10/7
Zorn’s voice cut through the noise on the bridge. “Captain Sireth—message from the advance group. They’ve dropped beneath the electronic interference layer and have located the Core. They expect to arrive momentarily.”
Sireth’s eyes gleamed. “Excellent. Voltar—come. It’s time to board the transport. The advance group will have the Core secured for us shortly.”
Voltar allowed himself a satisfied smile. “Wonderful. Everything aligns. I commend your efficiency, Captain.”
Sireth drew a knife from his belt and brought it to Voltar’s throat. “I expect you to relinquish the Axiotemporal Collapse Drive files the moment the Core is secured and the timeline reversed.”
Voltar’s voice was smooth and cold. “Of course. Once your people restore the continuum to before the Earth reptilians were erased, AND forward flow resumes. That is the agreement.” Pushing the knife away.
“That is the agreement,” Sireth repeated, each word cold as stone.
He stopped. His gaze sharpened—predatory, assessing—and he let it rest on Voltar measuring him. “Trust does not come easily from one who watches a man betray his own species.”
Voltar straightened, hands clasped behind him with military precision. “There is no betrayal. I serve the chain of command. Nothing else.”
Voltar met Sireth’s blazing stare without flinching. “And understand this,” he said, voice low but edged. “Your reputation precedes you, Sireth—but if this doesn’t unfold exactly as promised, your share of the payment disappears.”
For a long moment Sireth only watched him, weighing—quite literally—whether it would be simpler to open Voltar’s throat now and be done with the man. At last, with a slow, deliberate motion, he slid the knife back into its sheath.
Sireth turned away. “Come. We must go to the transport now.”
