“Our pleasure, Captain.”

“Excellent. Maybe you would call me in my quarters in a few minutes? There are some things we should discuss.”

“Certainly, Captain. Out.”

Jim got up, went into the lift, and tried to order his thoughts. After a pell-mell encounter like the one of the last few minutes, sometimes this took a while. But he busied himself with one of the breathing exercises Bones had taught him, and shut his eyes while the lift hummed along, concentrating on seeing space as a calm place again, full of cold and silence and the fierce pale light of the stars. By the time the lift doors slid open again, things were better… except in one regard.

The call was waiting on his viewer when he came in and sat down in front of it. At the sound of his movement, Ael looked up. She had moved down to her own cabin from Bloodwing’s bridge.

“So you were right,” she said, “about the ambush.”

“And so were you.”

“I? I did nothing but agree with you.”

“True.” Jim leaned his elbows on the desk, laced his fingers together, and put his chin on them. “And without discussion. Which suggests to me that you had previously had your suspicions as well… which you did not exactly spell out to me.”

She went quiet at that. “I dislike being thought merely paranoid,” Ael said.
