Gracie's Touch Zion Warriors 1 Read Online Free
virus they would not be able to stop them all. She uploaded the last one and looked at the power cell indicator. Refueling was done and it was time to leave before they opened the platform to begin loading and found her. Gracie punched in the release code and waited anxiously until she heard the sound of the fuel arm disengaging. She hit the program that would take her home with a sigh of relief. Maybe, just maybe, she would have a chance to be with her Chance, she thought as a wave of hope swept through her.
Gracie felt the thrusters kick in as she started to return the same way as she had come. She was almost to the open panel doors leading out into space when a voice came on over her audio com. She listened as it gave a command for her ship to return to the docking port.
Gracie punched in a comm and to override the auto- command when the operator tried to take over her controls. She listened as the voice came over again.
"Supply ship 100982 return to docking port 2-225." The disembodied voice commanded.
Gracie smiled as she saw her programs kick in. She had an ace up her sleeve if she needed it but she needed to be far enough away when she dealt it not to get caught in it. Gracie flipped the audio and gave her announcement to the millions of resistance fighters on the Earth far below. Grace's eyes gleamed with tears as she gave the command that would hopefully bring this war to an end.
"Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening. This is Gracie reaching out to touch you with love and hope. Today the people of Earth are ending the seige of the Alluthans. Rise up and fight, for freedom is ours. This is Gracie's Touch saying FREEDOM FOR ALL!" Gracie's husky voice called out to all the millions on the beautiful blue and white ball below her.
Gracie watched as lights flared all over the globe as the united governments and rebel forces joined together and gave a decisive assault against the aliens who thought them too weak to win. Gracie was about to hit the button that would speed her way home when the supply ship shuddered violently , throwing her to the side. Gracie's eyes frantically flew to the cause. She punched in the command to silence the alarms as she fought for control. No fighters followed her as they were unresponsive due to the command to shut everything down. Gracie could see multiple failures occurring on the mother ship but it would take longer for each system to completely shut down. The mother ship was turning to follow her. It sent out several bursts from its pulse cannons. Her shields immediately came online but the bursts took a toll on them and they were reading eighty-five percent. Grace felt dread seep through her. If the mother ship followed her and the self-destruct program activated, Earth would be in peril from the fallout. The only way to ensure the mother ship did not endanger the Earth was to lead them away. Gracie quickly programmed a new route into the navigation system. Tears blurred her vision as she sent the command and felt the supply ship turning. She increased the speed knowing it would not be long before the mother ship lost all power and the self-destruct initated. Gracie braced her palm against the front console as another jarring jolt hit the supply ship. She was moving as fast as the supply ship could go without sending it into hyperdrive. The navigation panel said they were nearing Mars.
Gracie didn't know if the signal she sent would make it to Earth or not but she had to try to send one last message. She had to tell them she was sorry and say goodbye. Gracie opened the communications program and typed in the password for one of the satellites she used to send her transmissions.
"This...this is Gracie." Gracie waited a moment. She trembled as she continued. "Chance, this is Gracie saying I'm so sorry. I won't be coming home after all." Gracie drew in a shaky breath and forced herself to continue softly. "I hope you get this message. I wanted to tell you I love
