As he approached the tube-train station, Maertyn guided the runabout into the narrow private vehicle drive up to the drop-off portico. There he halted the runabout and slipped out, carrying his shoulder bag. “Thank you, Rhesten. As I said, I don”t know when I”ll be back, but I will keep you informed.”

“Very good, sir. We”ll keep everything the way you like it.”

“Thank you.” Maertyn smiled, then turned and hurried from the covered portico past the local tube transit corridor and then through the main archway across the pale golden surface of the main concourse to the public booking screens—hardly ever used, except by guards and others without full comm-links. Or by lords who do not wish their intentions known until the comparatively last moment.

The booking screen in the upper level of the tube-train station showed only lounge seats on the local to Semelin, leaving in less than an hour, but a compartment on the following express that went to Brathym and then, after an hour”s delay, on to Daelmar.

Maertyn accepted those arrangements, although the waiting in Semelin and Brathym concerned him, and made his way to the ramp leading down to the platform from where the train to Semelin would depart.
