The freighter was going to escape. It was too late to stop it. Invisible to all sensors, Quell was going to go with it. She’d been thinking about her future, and what would become of her in the New Republic. When her tribunal came, who wouldn’t see her as IT-O had? As her squadron had? She wasn’t ready for her existence to end. She left the crushing gravity of the Cerberon black hole behind. She left the darkness and guilt and despair behind. Her ship alighted on the hull of the freighter, and she saw the cerulean glow of hyperspace.
