Within minutes, all the other troopers were in their pods.
Audrey shuffled herself forward in her chair and put on arm on the pod for support. “I’ll need your assistance, now.”
Brona supported her to stand and then to lay down into the pod. Her long hair draped over Audrey, she smelled of soap. Audrey felt a tingle run through her body.
Timothy would like her.
Pushing back her hair with her hand, she smiled. “Are you okay now?”
Feeling warm all over, Audrey smiled back. “That is fine. Go to your pod. When you wake, I will need your assistance once more.
Brona placed her hand on Audrey’s. Her hand was warm, soft. “I’ll be just over there.” Brona pointed to a nearby pod.
Audrey nodded, then pulled the translucent opening closed.
For a brief moment she wondered what awaited her on the other side. A strange new world full of horrible Sisters, no doubt Then her thoughts turned to Timothy, the love of her lfe and if she would ever see him again.
The pod turned cold. The hairs on her arm stood up and her breath became white. A few seconds later a white gas gushed over her body.
