Free Masoul (Harmony War Series Book 2) by Michael Chatfield Page B

him up. Instead, he found the kind of people that would be swayed by this kind of crap. Anyone above and below him thought he was just another mindless fuck that could be of use to the cause. He pulled people together for that fact.
                  They were all Chosen - the fighters that upheld Harmony’s edicts.
                  He laughed with his people as he clicked the detonator. The towers rumbled as the cryo bunkers were turned into nothingness.
                  Inside, Moretti winced with every shake. He didn’t care about the innocents that would be swept up in this fight. While he was an operative for Nivad, his cover was a middling corporation officer. He knew what kind of effect blowing up the bunkers would have on the system, and conglomerate, that owned it. The whole sphere could be thrown into chaos. Freighter fuel kept the universe moving. If fuel freighters stopped travelling, it would take a few years to hit. But the rest of the sphere would feel the pinch for a number of years.
                  They would turn to manufacturing their own fuel, or to importing it at an increased cost. That kind of economics would change the entire EHC economy.
                  He looked over the news channels. The others bragged and yelled in the warehouse.
                  The news people were going over the explosions. Everyone was in a panic, and people were confused as to why the bunkers were targeted.
                  A few news reporters were spouting Harmony lines. Moretti had no idea that the religion went that far.
                  It was meaningless. Dalia heard his report. Fearless was moving away from Strike Station. He could see it on the inter-system network.
                  “Holy fuck!” he said.
                  “What is it, boss?” one of the others looked over and asked.
                  “They just blew up Strike station!” Moretti said. He forgot who he was supposed to be for a second.
                  Others crowded around, and took his fear for shock.
                  He replayed the scene, and the others’ yells came out even louder than before. Flame came from the center of the station, and spread out in a ripple. The corridors served to focus the blast, and opened right into the hulls of the connected EMF carriers.
                  The station’s fire was gone as soon as it started. It fell apart, and started turning. The carriers attached to it were lifeless hulks, ripped into thousands of pieces.
                  Fearless moved out of its port twelve minutes ago. The corridor it had been attached to blew out with fire and debris, into the unarmored side of the hull.
                  It vented atmosphere, and its engines were dead as it went ballistic.
                  Harmony just killed nearly seven hundred thousand EMF personnel.

                  Nivad watched the same scene as Moretti. He looked on with cool indifference. His plans were disrupted, and he would have his revenge. But it was time to put his back-up plan into motion.
                  “If the carrier Fearless is capable of it, I want them to get their people in cryo. I want all shipping to Masoul cancelled immediately. Fearless and Reclaimer are to meet up and be ready for operations in Masoul,” Nivad said.
                  “Yes, sir,” Dalia said, as she tapped out orders on her surface.
