    About this ebook

    With a grasp of the situation and a weapon that can reach a descending ship required, the engineers get to go back to doing what they do best. Those who aren’t designing have the past coming up to bite them, the pilots are getting tired of the run to the City.

    Learning that alien hostages were held in stasis under the city seems to be just one more thorn in the sides of the pilots, but what they discover opens everything that they thought they knew into complete and shocking light. 

    The future may be interesting, but the honest past will shock them to their cores.

      Counter Spike - Viola Grace

      It is time to take the battle to the aliens, and a weapon to pluck them out of the sky is on the agenda.

      With a grasp of the situation and a weapon that can reach a descending ship required, the engineers get to go back to doing what they do best. Those who aren’t designing have the past coming up to bite them, the pilots are getting tired of the run to the city.

      Learning that alien hostages were held in stasis under the city seems to be just one more thorn in the sides of the pilots, but what they discover opens everything that they thought they knew into complete and shocking light.

      The future may be interesting, but the honest past will shock them to their cores.

      Innate Wright Book 5

      By

      Viola Grace

      Chapter One

      Xaia walked into her workspace, and she blushed. Please pardon the mess. I had to leave in a hurry.

      The other six pilots and the Otta elder were following her, so she moved some of her smaller projects from her station, and she went to the drawing board.

      Please let me know if you have any ideas for weapons, and Elder Lameera, if you could let me know if we want them alive or not? Xaia winced as she asked the last question.

      The question had to be asked.

      Elder Lameera cocked her head and said, We will attempt to banish them and send them back to orbit if you can find a way to manage it.

      Xaia paused. Okay. That might not be possible, but I am just going to start bringing out a list of approved and forbidden inventions. If anyone sees anything that they feel they can work with, sing out.

      The other women looked bemused, so Xaia started to bring up her creations and those of other women in the repair and design department.

      * * * *

      Duel looked at the lists of weaponry and a chair that offered backrubs, and she glanced around the table.

      I would like to make a suggestion.

      Xaia looked hopeful. Did you find something?

      No, I mean maybe. If I could just ask everyone here... She drew in a deep breath. I think we should send the message.

      Lameera cocked her head. What message?

      The members of the Nine wanted a message sent to their people. They still want that message sent. We should send it. She looked around the group.

      Corbyn said, What if they attack?

      Duel wrinkled her nose and waved at the table. I hate to say it, but I think we will be ready for them.

      Lameera said, Let me think about it.

      No.

      Everyone stared in surprise.

      No, this is the right thing to do. Contacting their people, letting them know that they are still alive and are being woken from stasis in the next few days, this will make our generation more sympathetic now than if we wait to see if we win or not. I don’t want them forgotten in our triumph.

      Lameera drummed her fingers on the table. You are so sure you will win?

      I am. With this team, we will not stop at anything to keep our people alive, and each one for a different reason. Duel took a deep breath and slowly let it out as she said, Their people need to know. Our people would demand to know if we disappeared. No one goes missing without folk knowing that they are walking the sands or just leaving for the brights.

      Lameera’s expression twisted, and she took in a deep breath. "Fine. Have Kab send the message. We are finally willing
