Chapter 15

Brigid remembered nothing that had happened since the harp song insinuated itself into her brain, overwhelming her senses. She fought very hard to ward off the clutching fingers of unconsciousness.

She was still fighting when she found herself waking up prone on a flat surface. The air was thin and bitingly cold on her exposed cheeks. She realized with a start that she no longer wore her helmet.

Snapping her eyes open, Brigid saw blank walls of blue surrounding her. She struggled up to her elbows on the raised disk beneath her body. It was of an opaque, plasticlike substance about four feet in diameter. From beneath it, she heard the faintest susurrus of electronic hums.

She slowly pushed herself to a sitting position, squinting around at her surroundings. The blue room had eight walls, enclosing her and the disk in a featureless octagon. She was alone, but she didn't pay attention to the sense of dread the thoughts of Kane and Grant evoked. Without much surprise, she saw her blaster, web belt and equipment case were missing.

Breath rasping in her throat, Brigid climbed to her feet, her lips feeling dry and chapped. She noticed she felt heavier than she had upon arriving at the station. Wherever she was, the gravity was close to that on Earth. She moved to the edge of the disk and looked down. It was elevated a foot above the floor, and she made a motion to step down.
