***

Back at his desk, Jack finally had a moment to view his priority messages. Three from Dr. Lee were coded urgent. After reading the first, his expression turned grim. The second had him puzzled and alarmed. And he had to work hard to contain his fury after finishing the third. One of her patients was dying, another was dead, and one was going to wish he was dead when Jack saw him again.

No. That kind of anger was irrational and unfair. Fury melted into futility, and finally acceptance, as he reasoned out the ironic inevitability. There was already enough tragedy in the truth, and he was powerless to alter it. And even if he could alter it, no agency could persuade him do so.

However, there were issues in which he did have the authority to make a difference, and no time to waste. He tapped the “acknowledge” link in Dr. Lee’s message. While waiting for her reply, he composed a note to the person who, before today, was his most trusted agent.

His desk chimed.

“Cindy? Good, you’re still up. Collect Dawn. I’ll meet you at the cryo-lab.”
