But M'chel was softer-hearted, a trait that would no doubt lead to her unwanted demise one of these years.

Instead of blasting the capsule open and letting the occupants breathe vacuum, she maneuvered to the capsule's tiny lock, unslung an emergency

arc-welding kit, and, being very careful to not give any signs away, welded

it shut.

Avoiding both the capsule's ports, and staying away from the flat pickup for the capsule's tiny radar, she went "below" the capsule, found its emergency exit, and sealed that as well.

Then she used the welder as a cutting tool, and severed the two cables linking the capsule to the Sung.

The capsule should have had a com of sorts, but Riss, feeling very sentimental, attached a small suit emergency beacon to the capsule, with atimer to set it screaming into life in six hours.

Rejoicing at a job well—and sneakily—done, she entered the ship.

"Let 'er rip," she told Spada.

Spada fired up the drive.

He punched in a course that would take the ship, on secondary drive, behind Alsaoud's nearest moon, where the Star Risk yacht waited.

"Now we've got the tools," Goodnight said, "we can begin our new career."

"Aaaar," M'chel agreed happily. "Just call me Captain Kiddo."

While the children are out getting new toys." Jasmine King told Grok, "I think we could well be pursuing other pastimes."

"Such as?"

"Such as the persecution and assassination of one Frabord Held, since we still don't have a clue as to why Cerberus is scheming in the Alsaoud System."

"Umm," Grok said thoughtfully. "If we kill him, which sounds like an interesting pastime, will it (A) tip Cerberus that we are back in the game,

and (B) worsen our situation?"

"It will certainly (C) make me feel better, at the very least," Jasmine said, but looked at von Baldur for an opinion.

Friedrich considered, also examining his reflection in one of the Excelsior

suite's mirrors and deciding he looked appropriately dignified and warlordlike.

"Killing—or, more linguistically soothing, perhaps—readjusting Mr. Held's biomass, is an interesting thought," he mused.

Jasmine decided Freddie was feeling particularly pompous that day.

"The major drawback is that it could bring on a worse, that is, more skilled, antagonist," von Baldur continued. "From what you two have told

me, Held is a worthy opponent, and not to be taken lightly. I am not assuming, though, that he is the ultimate Cerberus operator. There are, no

doubt, Cerberus executives available who are more canny than he is. Our more than occasional opponent, Walter Nowotny, comes to mind.

rather their personnel, angry.

"Rage does not improve reasoning.

"So why not? Go ahead and conspire on Mr. Held, rather than just sitting

here waiting for our friends to return.
