The Alexis Denken was only ninety minutes out from Arevalo when Kazimir called.

‘We just lost our communication link with the Lindau,’ he said.

Paula, who was sitting at her piano trying to master ‘Für Elise’ yet again, let her shoulders slump. ‘Oh, crap. I thought you were going to warn them to be careful.’

‘I did. Evidently I wasn’t clear enough.’

‘So now Aaron has a Navy ship?’

‘A scout ship. And it might be Inigo.’

‘Or the Waterwalker himself. Or Nigel’s come back. Or maybe . . .’ But she didn’t finish that one.

‘There’s no need to be cruel.’

‘We’re getting stretched very thin, Kazimir.’

‘I know. But there is some good news. The Lindau might not be communicating, but I can still keep track of it.’

‘How?’

‘There’s a secondary transdimensional channel generated by all Navy ship drives. It’s used for one thing only, to supply us with their location for precisely this reason.’

‘I never knew that. So where is it now?’

‘Still on Hanko.’

‘Interesting. If you’re Aaron and you’ve got yourself a lifeboat, why wait around on a planet that’s about to implode?’

‘To find what you originally came for.’

‘Exactly. Keep me updated.’

‘Of course.’

‘Are you going to send another ship?’

‘The Yangtze is already on its way; I doubt it will get there in time.’

‘A River-class no less? You are taking this seriously now. Let us hope it has better luck than the Yenisey.’

‘And the Lindau.’
