The start of the next chapter I'm editing.

Red emergency lights cast a dim crimson hue throughout the normally bright white and gray halls of the ship.

Yune led the two kids out of a lift up two levels quickly through the corridors toward where the Horizon had latched onto the hull. He hated having to abandon the Zephyr, but the odds were high that a few Regents would have gone in to check on their buddies.

They quickly dove into a side room to avoid a group of officers running toward the engine room to investigate the problem.

Will pressed his ear against the door.

“What are you doing?” Yune hissed a soft warning.

“Listening.”

“Get away from there,” Yune had his pulse pistol out, ready to fire, “They could backtrack.”

“Cool your jets, Scavenger, they’re running away.”

“Salvager,” he corrected him with irritation at this kid’s arrogance, “Is this another thing with your power?”

“Nope,” Terra answered for her twin, since Will had to concentrate, “He can pick up specific sounds in a lot of noise. He could always do that, even before we were changed.”

“The power of super selective hearing. Should have guessed since you never listen to me. But that’s... actually impressive,” Yune blinked. Maybe that was why Will was chosen as one of the One Thousand. He had selective hearing both naturally and in the way kids usually do.

Will focused on the ‘thump’ of their boots among the other noise until it faded out completely. “They’re gone.” He grinned in victory. “See? Told you. Let’s go.” He turned to run out and immediately smacked into the door.

Yune sighed to an eye roll. He might have an advanced hearing talent, but he lacked progression in other developmental areas. “Do you have no object permanence?” he opened the door, and headed out with Terra.

“Yeah, I do. I have object--whatever that is,” Will rubbed at the sore spot on his head.

“Come on, you little moamrat.”

Will followed, “I know you are, but what am I?”

“You’re annoying.”

“I know you are, but what am I?”

“Stop it.”

Yune grit his teeth, “Sparky...”

Terra giggled.
