Lina had told Milo not to go outside the ship, so naturally he’d done exactly that. He wasn’t having her boss him around. Yeah, she was older, but only by one year. She wasn’t Mum or Dad.

It didn’t help that he felt so helpless. When the generator had failed, she’d gone on the space walk, she’d got the engines running properly again. She wouldn’t even let him fly the ship.

It was always the same. Milo will mess up. Milo will get hurt.

Well, Milo wasn’t listening anymore!

Sitting on the edge of the canal, he pulled on the string that he’d been dangling over the edge. At the end of the line was an insect trap, a jar with a spring-loaded lid. A bizarre creature was crawling around its rim. It had multicoloured wings like a Gorsian dragonfly, but the bloated body of a slimy reptile.

‘That’s it,’ Milo whispered, urging the beast on. ‘Go in the jar. Find your sweet treat.’

He had spread sugar paste on the bottom of the jar to see what he could attract and this was the best specimen yet. Of all the bugs that swarmed through Thune’s thick air, these were the most fascinating, the pulsating warts on their back glowing aquamarine as they buzzed around the murky water.
