slept, since Gilhart’s death. “And that’s the next order of business—to choose a Captain. Who’s on Nursery duty? Gilramie? Go down to Nursery, darling, and bring us up one of the babies for the choosing. And let’s be thinking about Exemptions. You all know the rules. Year-Captains for the last seven years are automatically Exempt.

Lori and Gilbarni haven’t yet held three Class A positions; you’re not qualified. Any Exemption Requests?”

Gilban said shortly “I can’t handle full Medic status and Captain, too. Exemption?”

Gilrae looked around. “Any objections? All right, Ban, you’re Exempt. Anyone else?”

Gilharrad said without rising, “I’m too old, Rae.

Can I be exempted, too?”

“I wish you wouldn’t ask,” the woman said.

“We need your experience, Harrad. Can’t you take a one-in-fifty chance?”

“I didn’t even have to come back to Active Status,” the old man pointed out, and Gilrae sighed and said, “Just the same –—”

They were both distraught, Gildoran thought, or they would have remembered, and he tactfully broke the deadlock. “Gilharrad was Year-Captain less than seven years ago, Rae.”

The woman shook her head, confusedly. “Of course he was. Anyone else?”

Gilraban stood up and said “I’m going to have my hands full with Transmitter work. Exemption?”

“Any objections?”

“I object,” said Gilmarti, a tall thin elderly woman, “There are eight of us in Transmitter, and we can manage if we have to. Raban can take his chance with the others.”
