All she told me only made me think of how it would be an extremely complex maneuver. There were so many calculations involved, but in the end everything would be in her hands ... even our lives. She concluded by saying: "Rich Purnell is a shrewd engineer."
"Who is Rich Purnell?" I asked confused.

When Nyx was at the pilot academy, she had studied one astrodynamics book that explained how to perform a maneuver called "Purnell maneuver". The maneuver was to use the gravity of a planet to accumulate kinetic energy to be thrown up speed to circle the orbit of the planet, principle of the gravitational slingshot effect. But she was going to do this in cruising speed, which would require a maneuver in lower orbits, besides the speed have to be accurate, or would not be swallowed up by the gravitational well. She also added that had done this maneuver many times.
... In the simulator.
... And she only had blown in half the time.
...
I laughed in panic, disbelief.

And if all went well, the feds would try to follow would be overturned cruise control when entering the low planetary orbits. They would be overheated and we had time to do a jump hiperspace. "Just not!" One question still tormented me: how she would deceive the ship's systems?
"Simple, let off the ship!" She replied with a sarcastic smile.
...
"Stop the bus I want to come down." She told me all this while the ship was spinning in a maneuver that she called Helix of Death in an attempt to avoid a second Interdiction.

The purplish and stormy Jovian flashed tousled turning in our direction.
Imperial ships furious on our heels.
A theoretical maneuver impossible ever held in such high speed.
And she would do it all with off ship.
Panic froze the blood in my veins even with the high temperature of the ship.
...
After all that had passed so far, she still stared at me with that big and bewildering smile.
That look green jade digging my self looking for some courage huddled in a corner of my soul.
...
We were crazy, crazy space had in contaminated.
It could only be that. Amid so many logical calculations nothing made sense.

I have no idea why those beautiful eyes still waiting attentive to my approval. The warning slow down already flashed on the screen, it was impossible to go back.
Will nyx kill us to leave the ship fall cruise control if I do not give confirmation to do? Because she needed my opinion if she did not move a muscle to fend off the madness?
It was inevitable now and I no longer had time to decide, never had, and do not really know if I had a choice, or if she forced me to decide with his domineering look.
I do not know if she would still make this madness if I do not allow.

The adrenaline has done its job and my heart started beating again bringing life to my chest.
"GOOOOO ..."
