I put my Navi in its pouch and put the heels of my palms over my eyes. "You're getting her, aren't you?" I whisper. "what else do you want? I don't know, I don't even know who you are. Isn't it enough to be spying on everything in my life? That s…

I go and stand next to Pris's tube while I wait. But I'm looking at Ourania. She's the reason for all this. I ought to feel something, a snarl of fury or hate in my stomach. I feel nothing. I think about what it would feel like to tamper with her…
-
Yeah, that's not right. Something must have happened. "But I promised Pris I'd come see her today," I protest. "Can't you... maybe ask her first? Like, knocking on the door before you go in." What is that in Doctor Lancome's eyes? Anxiety. Res…

I breathe in sharply through my nose and break eye contact, looking around the room beyond Pax. My Navi buzzes with the three-minute warning that the T-patrol, Tabitha and Mi Sun are getting right now. "Yeah, I'm OK," I say, absent-minded. I'm no…
-
My eyes flicker briefly toward the camera in the corner. "I wanted to talk about getting involved. With some extracurricular activities," I say, almost in a whisper. "So maybe somehwere more private than this is better?" I look deep into Pax's…

It's so tempting to sow a seed of panic in Aiden's mind. I resist, though I can't help the hint of a smirk appearing at the edge of my mouth. "I don't know anything about any nebulas," I tell him. "Nebulae. Whatever. Doctor Lancome didn't say any…

I take my seat the back of the class and send a reply to Eff. To: Corporal Eff
They could all do with taking down a peg or 2.
(Not Tabitha, she's ok.)
Take yr pick. * Nul That should put the cat among the pigeons. Whatev… -
I let them go. Malcolm declared a recess, which means they're entitled to leave the classroom. They're the ones who'll get privileges revoked if they're not back in time. "I'm a corp, not a babysitter," I mutter back. I don't particularly want…
-
I don't much care about what happens to Lucas either. Or Trish's opinions on how to do my job. I shrug. "Everyone's allowed to go to Med Bay. See you guys in a few," I say, and make my way back into the classroom. I'll have to keep an eye on w…
-
Not much, unless you have a cure for the plague. "You could pay a visit, if they're still not back after class," I reply. Speaking of which. I look at my bracelet; it's been a little over half an hour. "If you're on a snack run, better hurry. …

Tabitha's embrace catches me by surprise. Without thinking, I return it. We stand in each other's arms. It feels comfortingly familiar. I never used to be the taller one. Close enough. She even smells the same. A frisson as Tabitha's close-cropped h…
-
I slow as we get closer to the classroom. Tabitha is right, there's not much else she can do. But those things sound like good ideas. "Yeah. You should do that. It can't hurt." I touch Tabitha on the arm, half expecting her to flinch. "Look. If y…
-
I think about what I should say next. Tabitha and Ourania are friends, I know. "Ourania is getting too deep into whatever it is she's into," I say after a while. "I caught her once in my room, going through Aiden's stuff. She stole something from…
-
I squeeze Nadja's hand to reassure her. "You'll be OK," I say, quietly. I smooth out my uniform and say goodbye to Doctor Lancome. On my way out, I glance over at Pris's tube. It looks the same. It always looks the same. I follow Tabitha out an…
-
I played along with the paranoia, kind of. Not directly. Just that I didn't tell her she was freaking out over nothing. Told her that she'd be safe in the Med Bay.
-
I can hear Tabitha asking the doctor questions, as I leave. I can't hear the answer. Lancome's voice is recognisable but the words are indistinct over my footsteps in the corridor. There's no sound of mayhem coming from the open classroom door. I…
-
I'm kind of... fascinated by the doctor. Not fascinated. Intrigued? Maybe that's the word. Someone who really got through everything. She's proof that there's life on the other side. I'd like to know more about her. I have a feeling I ought to no…

"Right after Ourania's... episode, Lucas started shrieking like he'd seen something horrible. I thought he was just making a scene but, well, you can see he kind of had a little accident. Which would be over-selling things. You know?" I watch Doc…
-
I lay Lucas down on one of those couch things they have here. Not a tube, he doesn't need that, I don't think. I'll stick around until the doctor can take a look at both him and Ourania. This doctor is more reassuring that the old one, that's for…
-
I'll take Lucas to medical myself. The cameras are sufficient during recess. Still, I get Jace's attention on my way out. "Call me if there's any more trouble."

Okay, this new girl needs to get back in her box. I see what she's doing. Trying to make herself the queen of the classroom. I walk over to where Lucas is huddled up and stoop to lift him onto my shoulder. He's all skin and bone, he won't weigh m…
-
Great, now Lucas is being a weirdo too. I switch off the stick and nod to Tabitha. She can carry Ourania to the med bay, if she wants. To the others: "Sit. Down. Johns, that's a demerit. Same for you, Lucas." No points deductions for Ourania…
-
This has gone on long enough. I stand up and unholster my stun stick. It makes a little fwip noise as I turn it on. Last time Ourania had a breakdown in class she assaulted two students - specifically, including me - which I figure justifies the sti…

I smile briefly back at Nadja then look down at my Navi as if I have a message or something. I've told her we need to stay apart in class. I mean we're sitting next to each other now, but you know what I mean. Don't attract attention. I page thro…

So Ourania's sick. Boo hoo. She did worse to Pris. To: Tabitha
What's the emergency?
She's a big girl, she can go to the doc herself.

Maybe she'll drop dead first. The pod should be so lucky. -
I reply quickly to Tek's message: To: Corporal Tek
Understood.
Corporal Nul I look up to where Pax is sitting and stare at the back of her head for a while. I think I know how to get past her defences. And it shouldn't be too di… -
One thing I told Rys is that Pax is involved with Red Five, though I don't have any proof yet. That we should keep an eye on her and see who she contacts. I also told him that Ashlee could be hiding in some of the old, closed-off periphery chambe…
