Chapter Twenty-Five

“Where is he? Where’s he going?” Bart Henry’s aggravation echoed through the Ops Blister.

Donovan held an ice pack to the side of her face. Laskey stood behind Sylvia Wu’s chair and stared at the cluster of screens in front of her. Multiple wagon wheel floor plans lit each screen.

“I still can’t trace anyone but our own people—but I think I can detect when doors open. A door that opens without one of the dots representing our people in front of it should show us where he is,” Wu said.

“So? Anything?” Henry asked.

“Not so far. Not that I’ve seen anyway.”

“Have you been watching?”

“I have but there are a lot of doors and a lot of floors in the habitat.”

“Is there a record of what doors have opened and when?”

“Not interior doors. Only airlocks and none of those have opened at all.”

Henry’s eyes narrowed. “He’s not looking to escape. Not yet. Where would he go?”

“He’s going to try and contact his ship,” Donovan said.

Henry batted at a tab on his base-phone and held it up to his mouth. “This is Base Commander Henry. I want guards placed around every transmitter in this base. Doubly so at the emergency transmitter room.” He paused, then added, “And station guards at the airlocks. On the double. Henry out.” He placed his phone on the table in front of him and stared at Donovan. “Just in case.”
