While they waited for the SEALS to get back with Flatbed, there was nothing for the crew of Deepcore to do but wait and watch with increasing horror the television news reports being piped down the umbilical from the Explorer.

"Bud, this is big time," said Lindsey.

It was on every channel. The TV newspeople were doing man-on-the-street interviews. Nobody seemed to know how to take the news. Hadn't things seemed like they were getting better these past few years? Everybody expected this back in the bomb-shelter fifties - even in the sixties and seventies. But ever since Gorbachev came to power and presented a new Soviet face to the world, everybody had felt safer, had given a sigh of relief and started counting on things going on the same way forever. How could they snatch it away now?

Some people sounded outraged, betrayed; others laughed - it's a joke, right? Still others nodded wisely - we knew it all along. Others were angry - if they sank our sub, then they deserved to lose a ship of their own. And some almost wept with fear. What can we do? What can anyone do?

Out in space, builders were intercepting and recording the same broadcasts - and the military transmissions as well. One after another they rode their gliders down to the sea, reporting to every city of builders that those-who-kill-each-other-on-purpose seemed to be getting ready to act out their name on a massive scale.
