\"I think I\'m gonna find it.\"\n\n\"You\'re terrible.\"\n", Your shipment is probably floating around in space. \"And according to the distress beacon, the Contact Light was destroyed in orbit. The chance of you finding a specific one is impossible.\" She began to unfold her legs as she propped her rifle in the corner. \"There were over 7 million security chests in the Contact Light. \"Seriously?\"\n\n\"Yep!\"\n\nMalik raised her brow. Her routine near completion, she moved her gaze to Wyatt. So I\'m gonna get it back.\"\n\nShe began to tighten the last remaining bolts.
