Uh, who exactly are you?”, Harley asked, wide eyed, as he sat on the con­sole. "More impor­tantly, how did you get on this ship?”, Cap­tain Remark­able stepped for­ward, address­ing the new­comer directly.

A trap is sprung

This entry is part 1 of 4 in the Spirit of Christ­mas series

Phineas stared. He wasn’t sure if he was hugely impressed, or supremely ter­ri­fied by what he was look­ing at.
