Most days I remember to breathe. I'm a horticulture supervisor now. I have a quiet office in one of the prefab buildings on the central courtyard. I go to the plantations on the hillsides. There's a good view from there. I don't talk to anyone much…
-
I didn't have much of a plan in mind; I just wanted to see what was going on down at iso. Maybe I didn't do a great job of making a casual exit. More likely, I think, the AAU told him. Either way, Tek followed me. I took a short-cut through the re…

I didn't go through all this to betray her now. Priscilla stays hidden. And besides, if that means a little more fear and disorder on the ship... good.
-
It sounds bad, when she puts it like that. Abandoning Tabitha. "I have the place. The airlock that killed me. I can show you the way, when the trigger is ready. We can seal off the connection to the quarantine area, so that the threat is only to t…

I almost laugh when I realise that it was Ourania who made herself sick all this time. But then she looks really sad, so I rein it in. "I wasn't invited but I could help... talk people out of going. If need be." That or stun them and lock them in…
-
"I did find a place in the ship to, you know, threaten for maximum effect. But if you have control of the bridge, maybe that's a better starting point." I'm not sure Ourania is up to blackmailing the crew with a suicide bomb, anyway. Breaking quara…

I shake my head. "I don't know. But I got my suspicions." Temperance looks confused. And annoyed. As well she might. I look from one girl to the other. "OK, let's try out this lying thing: I am not at all curious about how Ourania happens to have…

Ourania's hands are really cool. Not as in zeng, as in the opposite of warm. I look back at her, unblinking. She really does have pretty eyes. If more people told her that, things might be different. I lean in, and I hear a hitch in her breath jus…
-
Red Five? Aiden could do it, but I don't think he would. Without saying anything, I override the codes and cancel the locks tagged onto Ourania's ID. "Yeah, here we go. I can override that easy enough. But... ah, what's it worth to you?" I look u…
-
There's a hint of disapproval in Ourania's voice. She may be right about that. "I was getting a little desperate at the time," I offer as some kind of explanation.
-
I try to take in everything Ourania is telling me. Seems like she has come up with a pretty comprehensive plan. "Pris is safe," I say. "I don't know where she is, but she's safe. I took her out from the med bay. If you think we really need to find…
-
I try to remember if I knew anything about Temperance before the quarantine. Her family is in Systems, I think. I probably got introduced to her parents, when I was small. I don't recall. "Sooo...." I run one hand through the back of my hair. "Wha…

Huh. What does that look mean? I wait for the Ts to go before I say anything.

I shake my head. "I don't actually know where she is. So that no one can get that information out of me." Which I am maybe slightly regretting now, but it seemed like the only option at the time. I look across the room and catch sight of myself i…
-
Hrm. Not sure how happy I am about this. "Uh, yeah. I'll ask her. Just I kinda went to a lot of effort to hide her, you know?"
-
Nod, nod. "Pax is probably a non-starter, but the other two yeah, I could--" Wait. What? "Did you say Priscilla? Why are you looking for Pris?"
-
I nod, although I can see it's her approval Tunde wants, not mine. As for whether Rys and Eff ever messed with him, yeah, I 'm sure they did. What no one seems to realise is that if we did exactly what the corp handbook says we're supposed to, eve…
-
Oh yeah, that's right. The toadies. "Oh really? That's real interesting, Trish. Is Temperance a doctor? Or on the trauma team? No. She's a kid in school, like all of us. All I did was tell you guys to sit down. Because you were interfering. The fa…
-
Wow, it's like she's living in her own little world. I shake my head, pity mixed with disbelief. Some of us really are still children. "Whatever, Johns. You tell yourself whatever you want." I give an honest answer and this is what I get back. We…
-
I don't think anyone really likes it. Maybe Eff. Tek, I think, does it because the voice told him to. "I only signed up so I could get Tabitha out of iso. It was my half of the deal." I shrug. "It might seem harsh, but we try to do just enough to …
-
Thats... weirdly hostile. Dunno what her drokking problem is. "Okaaaay..." I would just leave, but I have a job to do. The voice wants this to work. "So what is the plan? And is there anything I could be doing to help it?"
-
I look around the room. Everyone seems kind of far away, or not real somehow. Like dolls. "Hey." Oh right, I'm supposed to say something. "Everything... under way?"
-
I assure Aiden that I will try to not kill us all, and head out into the corridor. I check my Navi for Temperance's last recorded location. While I'm standing there, I notice my heart isn't beating. Huh. I try not breathing for a while but really…
-
I nod. The choice is obvious, to me. "Thanks, Aiden. I won't tell you which one. In case the adults catch up with you. But I don't think they're been watching for a long time now." I stand up. I have this feeling of finality, and I hold out my ha…
-
I guess if I can't trust Aiden with this, who can I? And besides, the worst that could happen is he blabs and sows a little more disorder. "You're right. No one's going to have to worry about demerits after this. Ourania is planning a suicide-bomb…
-
That's the trouble with asking smart guys things obliquely. They're too clever. "Corporal Tek is not on top of everything, believe me," I tell him, and I think that's true. Maybe he is on top of everything and the AAU has told him to keep his dist…
-
Huh, I was only asking. This happens all the time now, everyone talks to Corporal Nul instead of, you know, me. "Well, as a matter of fact, yeah... If somebody was going to blow up one thing inside the quarantine decks, what would it be? You know,…
