You win, I transmitted. Send me the data dump.

While Paul cooled his second ale, I devoured the bug’s surveillance video at my maximum speed. Not only were humans crewing the Ferrymen cargo ships, they were preferentially using manual control systems.

“They probably know more about running those ships by now than the Ferrymen,” Paul said, accurately reading my mind. “What I can’t understand is why the humans are sticking to the covenant when they must know that nobody is watching.”

“None of this makes any sense,” I muttered, pouring myself a glass of local brandy even though I didn’t care for the sweet taste of the stuff. Then I powered on my active sensing suite for the first time since we landed on the planet and sent a ping to remotely activate everybody’s location transponders. All of my team members were where they were supposed to be, and their encounter suits showed the slight movements that were pre-programmed to simulate breathing, except Helen’s.

“Turn on your sensor suite,” I told Paul.

He looked up from his ale in surprise. “It’s been so long that I forgot I even had one. Funny what you get used to.”

“What do you make of Helen’s signal?”

“Stationary. Too stationary. But maybe she’s observing an Original and doesn’t want to give away her position.”

“Possible,” I allowed, and then messaged her directly with the news that I had lifted the emissions ban.
