Challenge #02018-E194: After Math — Steemit

Human Stiv winced at H'rithog’s expression. “Don’t give me that face. We have air and power to get us to the common shipping lanes. From there, we can contact all vessels in the area. They have their livesuits. They have their survival pods. They’re in better shape than we are. If I tried to rescue more than our asses, we all die. It’s cold math.”

“I had thought your kind were empathetic.”

“There’s empathetic and there’s knowing what the stakes are. Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind. Our long-range comms are out. So are theirs. We are everyone’s best shot. You want to waste air arguing about this or do you want to actually fix the problem?”
