Frozen Sky Mars 2194

    • Science Fiction

The insulation of the thermal-suit was good as well, she couldn't feel  the icy air touching any part of her skin, but after an hour or so, a  cold ache set into her arms, and then her feet, and then legs. By the  time she reached the airship the ache had spread up her back, and the  Cyber Heads-Up Display implanted in her eyes was reporting mild  hypothermia. She suddenly realized she had been running through the  darkness, and wondered if Cheng could have even made the journey without  waving around a light that would have let everyone on the airship know  he was coming. Did the Confederacy implant its troops this CHUDs?
She  knew she should have just flown back to Hangtian with Cheng. That was  all that was required. Find the missing strato-freighter and report its  location. But this was an American airship, and she was going to be  damned if she let a bunch of rebels rescue it. America might have lost  the war against these Eco-Rebels on Mars, and America might have fallen  to its own eco-revolution back home, but damn it, America could still  rescue its own ships!
