After this morning’s wall shield incident, Taen is only too happy for me to upload the specs for coffee from my syn to his. “For your friend, you say?” he asks as I fiddle with the settings. “What species is she?”

“I’m not sure,” I lie shamelessly. “She doesn’t like to talk about it, and I try not to bring it up. It upsets her.” I lower my voice. “From what I’ve been able to piece together, her homeworld was destroyed.”

“That’s terrible,” Taen says soberly. “Thank you for warning me. I won’t probe and add to her pain.”

I feel guilty about lying to Taen, who seems like a decent guy, but I also don’t want to tell anyone that Lani is human. The Earth women were under Lenox’s protection, and they were still abducted by the scientists. The rot goes deep, and threats could be everywhere.

If the others were here, they’d never let me hear the end of this. “Wait a second,” I can almost hear Sixth say. “Third is being cautious? I don’t understand. Is he ill?”

It turns out that while I’m capable of being reckless about many things, Lani’s safety is not one of them.

As I’m fussing over Lani’s food tray, I get a ping from Blue. “I have hacked the secure comm channel used by the Rebel Force,” the bot, satisfaction saturating his voice. “You can communicate with them whenever you would like.”

Oh, thank Caeron. Relief floods through me. “Blue, you are amazing,” I respond fervently. “I will never doubt you again.”
