‘Exiting N-space. One jump short of reaching point projected from battles.’

‘Thanks,’ Wolfe said.

Taen lifted grasping organs, set them back on his rack. ‘I find it what you would term amusing that you express gratitude to your machine. It seems a thorough waste of energy.’

‘You’re right. And I’m polite to you, as well. Ship, do you detect any sign of life?’

‘Negative.’

‘Do you detect any planets, asteroids, any habitable place?’

‘Negative.’

‘Are there any signs of broadcast on any frequency?’

‘Negative.’

‘Make the final jump when you’re able.’

‘Understood.’

The world was cold, bleak, forbidding.

Wolfe looked again at the screen, then away from the gray and black wasteland. ‘What’s the environment like?’

‘Slight traces of oxygen. Not enough to support human life. Gravity half E-normal. Do you wish geological, atmospheric data?’

‘No.’ He looked at other screens showing the far-distant sun and the other two planets in the system, both frost giants.

‘Do you detect any transmissions, any broadcast sign of life?’

‘Negative.’

‘This makes no sense. There’s a planet here, as close to Point Zed as possible, and it’s deader than God.’

‘I suggest we make a circumnavigation,’ Taen said. ‘The Guardians, if they are, or were ever, here, would hardly blazon their presence to the heavens.’

‘Ship . . . do as he says.’

‘Understood.’
