As soon as Entara entered the unguarded portal to the Forlani quarters, she had begun to tremble. The sight of four inert sentinels had increased it to an almost uncontrollable shaking in every limb and the view of Quatilla's deserted nest had thrown her into near-spasms that she made every effort to control. After a second's hesitation, she rushed to the medicine cabinet and jabbed herself with a prepared syringe of powerful nerve decelerant. Ayan'we had observed this in a state of panic and was tempted to ask her mother if there was another dose handy, but she instantly realized she could not afford herself this distraction. She had never felt the birth bliss or gazed down at the miniscule Quatilla that had come into the cosmos in that moment of overwhelming joy. Her love was that of a genuine sister, but nothing like the grief of a mother. Gritting her teeth, she spun around and headed for the door, signaling the two security cluster members to follow.

Ayan'we shouted back at her mother, “Mom, signal all the others. Send them left down the corridor. I'm heading right.” Though her head was throbbing and her stomachs doing somersaults, she found relief in pure speed as she shot down the corridor, literally bouncing off the walls as she trailed the unseen assailants.

Entara slumped against a wall as the medication coursed through her veins. She pulled herself to a control panel and pulled the alarm for the rest of the delegation, then crawled over to Kantua's outstretched body. She searched for a pulse and breathed a little easier when she found it. As the other Forlani reached the room and surveyed the dismal scene, she summoned the energy to relay Ayan'we's orders, keeping only the medical attaché with her to tend the wounded. They would no doubt have to be handed over to a real team of doctors as soon as possible. She had noted that, fortunately, the Weh medical ship had arrived at the station while they were sleeping, so she told the medic to arrange for an immediate shuttle transfer for the four sentinels. If necessary, those sea creatures could actually swim inside the Forlanis' bodies and remove the poisoned blood drop by drop, stunning tissues almost cell by cell to avoid necrosis. Almost forgetting that she herself was sick, she staggered toward the door to join the pursuers of Quatilla, but the medic caught her by the arm just in time, laid her on some cushions and covered her with a warm cape. Then the medic entrusted Entara to a couple of Phiddian physicians who showed up, not so much thinking they would really help Entara as hoping that her commander would stay out of her way until she could place the sentinels on a shuttle on route to the able care of the Weh masters.

The medic needn't have worried about Entara staying out of the way. Wavering between the shuddering of grief and the swoon caused by the narcotic
