“Astra?” he asked, looking up toward Martin.
“I couldn’t get to her,” grumbled Martin. “But the Praetorians will never be the same.”
“How did it fall apart?”
“I don’t know, Sir.” Martin looked past Stone toward Mori. “Is she gonna make it?”
He looked up at Martin, tears flowing from the emotional avalanche of Mori’s condition and holding his son in his arms for the first time. “I don’t know.”
“Well, she’s a fighter. I know that much about her.”
“Yes, she is,” replied Stone.
“Where do we go from here?”
“Get back to safety, heal, and prepare for Astra Varus to unleash her rage,” replied Stone.
“We’ll be ready, Sir,” declared Martin, placing her hand on his shoulder.
“We’d better,” replied Stone as he looked down at his son. “We’d better.”
