“Did you notice something?” Valja asked.

“The Secretary was very upset,” Ada replied.

They’d covered Ada’s gel bed and made it comfortable with a few blankets while they looked at the data from the memory glass. Valja sat between Ada’s legs and leaned back against her. Tomorrow they’d have to get back into the gel. They’d just spent the last two weeks in it. Apparently, there was a lot that needed doing in the universe these days.

“That’s not what I meant. She named Kepler first, and then Zhenyi, contrary to convention.”

“Maybe she’s just in favor of gender equality, Valja.”

“I think she has designs on the astronomer. Do you remember how she invited him to view the diamond with her last time?”

“True, I noticed that, too. You’re probably right. But does that have anything to do with our case?”

“If you were to answer without thinking about it, who would you consider to be the mastermind and who the accomplice?”

“Oh, that’s what you’re getting at. Sure, Zhenyi is the criminal. Kepler does what she tells him to do.”

“What if that’s not the case? What if he’s actually skillfully manipulating her? The thieves have the codes to the maintenance shafts. What if Kepler got them from the best source of all?”

“I don’t believe the Secretary’s involved in this.”

“She might also just be a victim. But she can’t admit that, which is why she’s sent us out to take care of it.”

“I’m sorry, but that doesn’t sound very logical to me, Valja.”

“You yourself thought we’d caught the thieves and the problem was solved.”

One point to Valya, definitely. Ada’s common sense had failed her. She had honestly believed that it was just good old human greed behind all the incidents.
