Kira stared at the Danzur standing in front of the door to her assigned quarters. “What do you mean, I no longer have access?”

“It is the direction I’ve received,” the alien replied. “These quarters have been reassigned. I’ve been instructed to take you to new accommodation.”

Kira decided not to argue as it would be a pointless waste of breath. She’d had enough experience with the Danzur. “Fine,” she snapped. “Lead the way.”

The Danzur nodded and started along the corridor, Kira following. They descended a short flight of steps into a dingier, more mechanical-feeling part of the orbiting platform, another corridor lined with pipes and conduits. The Danzur opened a compartment and gestured inside.

“This is your new accommodation,” he said. “The door has been keyed to you by facial recognition.”

Kira peered inside. She saw a spartan bed, a table, a chair, a terminal—and that was it. There were no viewports, just blank bulkheads lined with yet more of the ubiquitous conduits. One of them hissed, carrying some fluid or gas with a faint, teeth-vibrating harmonic whine.

“This is it?” she asked.

The Danzur nodded, then turned and walked away.

And that was that.

Kira’s quarters aboard the Stiletto weren’t much, just a typical junior officer’s berth—and they were still larger and better appointed than this.

The Danzur were clearly sending her a message. Okay, so this set the tone for it, and not a good one.

She wondered what the message itself said.
