Chapter seven

"Let me read this back to you." The boy sounded very official, and a bit stern, now that Timon was paying more attention to him. Like a military man, rather than a kid. "Official, from Countier First Timon Baker, aboard the Space Vessel Ranford. The Sunset-fire has been neutralized. Ships will be over populated areas releasing a compound meant to control that in the future." The words where half Terry's but that was all right. They sounded better than the half mumbled things he'd come up with. "Is it too much to tell people that it has been neutralized already? Since we haven't done it yet?"

Probably, Tim knew that but didn't bother talking, just thinking about it for a while. Finally he looked at the far bulkhead and spoke in a low tone.

"Use your best discretion. How are things there, in Two Bends?" It was probably what he should have said first, but the boy didn't complain about a lack of familial bonding. Since they weren't fighting, it probably meant something else was going on.

"People are scared Tim. Even here, in the middle of nowhere. A month ago no one on Noram knew what a nuclear device was at all. When they set them off under the water along the West coastline it created vast flooding and death. We had to tell people that it was like the weapons that Tor made, only different. I still don't understand what it really is. My tutor John had to get special permission from Denno Brown just to tell us the basics of the idea. People are ready to fight, even here, but no one knows what to do. If I weren't going to spread this message around, the delivery people here would be drilling with weapons in case we have to fight. Pa is teaching us. Did you know that he could fight at all? Everyone else was really surprised."

Timon did, of course. Assassins would have to know things like that. He didn't mention it, just going on as if the question hadn't been a real one.

"I see, I think. I need to get with the King and Lyn Red... Or, can you get in touch with Lyn? She knows you, right? Just pass that message to her? Then we need to send someone to Black. I don't think he has a communications device yet. You can get one for him... Except that he can't use magic. It's part of the religion there. Work out a way to pass messages with him."

"On it."

The line broke long before Judy nudged him again, and then, a little more gently, put an arm around him.

"Terry, he's a solid kid, but only a boy, are you sure that he can handle all that?"

For a long time he just stood there, looking at the device in front of him. Then he hit the sigil for Prince Alphonse. It was out of habit, since the King didn't have one of the new style communications devices. Probably so that people wouldn't be able to get in touch with him directly.
