Captured Prisoner Or Traitor?

(Hydra Star System- Unnamed Asteroid Field)

Cleo turned off the communication network and fell into silent contemplation. The person on the other side was clearly pretending to be Drew.

There was only one of two possibilities. 

The first was that there was a hacker on the enemy side who was capable of infiltrating the neural network.

And the second and far more darker option was that Drew had either been captured and someone was operating the communication systems on his mech or…

He was a traitor. 

Cleo furrowed her brows in confusion as she continued to pilot her mech through the vast expanse of space.

The speed of her mech was not as fast as before since Cleo was now forced to avoid contact with the incoming asteroids.

Only five percent of the shield systems remained. It was undoubtedly a dangerous situation to be in.
