Chapter 23

Slumped over his desk, an arm beneath his chin, Olton flicked the tuning dial of his grandpa’s radio and pressed random buttons, all without bothering to notice what they did. Doubt and regret wandered in his head. Overseer Rigel warned him not to get too chummy with his tribe. Despite everything, he’d obeyed the Naga’s orders perfectly. You’d be proud, Overseer. I alienated my entire tribe all without even trying.

They might even give him a special award. He’d isolated himself from his classmates in Sector 3 and now from his tribe. In a weird way, he did a better job serving the Anunnaki than his fellow humans.

The big question wasn’t what Helios or Rigel would do to him now. It was whether the slaves would still work with him. If they refused, Sinser Helios would no doubt order their deaths.

Ian’s question still nagged at him. Why are you here? There were a few things he would’ve said differently if he could travel back in time and talk to him again. I’m here to stop the Naga from finding the Master-Blaster, not help them get it. And now that he’d reestablished this, a whole set of whys flowed freely. Gloria. Tovus. Graumen. Without meaning to, he’d ruined three lives. But the Anunnaki had ruined more, like at the Purging of Chiapas. He couldn’t let them ruin even more.

Olton walked to the edge of his pod, looked up, and shut his eyes. His lungs tightened in holding a deep breath. He owed his tribe a real effort to free them. It couldn’t take second place to Orun’s mission of stopping the Anunnaki from gaining the Sky-Breaker and winning the Anarchist Campaign. All of these were his priorities now.

He breathed out. Telling his tribe his decision was pointless. They’d shrug it off as empty words. But he could at least apologize. He marched to the wall to leave, then stopped, remembering he needed his resonance blasters to get any farther than the Helix Chamber.

Just as he turned away, a line of light froze him in his tracks. He assumed Bijertus had entered his pod. But the Naga wore an imposing series of dark metal body plates framed by gold, and a youthful face. A face he hadn’t yet learned to fear. Something warned him that he would soon.

Because there was no other reason for Sinser Helios to be there.
