KEPLER 22B

Teletrans chamber on board Seedrak Sare’en, active geosynchronous orbit above the Martian North Pole

His large hands are immersed in plasmastone—a molten rock-like substance—all the way to his forearms. A three-dimensional map of Earth spins before him, midair. The two Nethinim are at the far end of the room, occupying the transpots. Each has a svelte pack with supplies strapped to his back and each is dressed in a paper-thin jumpsuit that bends and reflects all light, rendering the Nethinim virtually invisible. These suits extend over their long hands and fingers, and are pulled tightly over their heads and silvery hair. A see-through flap can be pulled down to cover their faces, but these are up for now. He looks at their faces. The trace of their braided hair moving back from their foreheads. Their flaring nostrils. Their obedient eyes.

He makes final adjustments with his fingers in the plasmastone.

Go, he telesays.

He twists his arms, the far end of the room grows unspeakably frigid, the portals open, shimmery yet dark, like the one that took them to the Great White Pyramid for the Calling. Their suits activate, and the Nethinim all but disappear, their faces floating seven feet above the ground.

Return as soon as you’ve achieved your objective, he telesays.

Each nods.

Each takes a step backward.

And each disappears completely from the room, and the ship that sits idly in space.
