JESSE

We were lead into a small chamber decorated as a sitting room. We approached the Queen with our heads down. Annalee attempted a Yordbrook curtsy to the best of her ability. Porter and I bowed.

Annalee didn't fall over, so I considered the curtsy a success. When I looked up, I froze. I recognized the Queen immediately. From the shocked expression on her face, I assumed she remembered me as well. Her expression changed quickly, and I wondered if I had imagined the moment of recognition.

"Your majesty." Porter took her hand and kissed it. She looked like she was trying very hard not to react but her cheeks betrayed her. They turned pink. They were as bright red as they had been when I had inadvertently spotted her making love with Porter. The last time I had seen this woman was on the day I had gone to find Porter and ask him to help me rescue Annalee.

Porter's face looked like he was a man in love. How was Porter in love with and having intimate relations with our new Queen without me knowing anything about it? I glanced at him out of the corner of my eye, but he had no answers on his face.

I would have to get the whole story out of him after we left this room. If we had managed to escape death, we would be in a cell together for a long time, and he would have the rest of our lifetimes to tell me his tale.

"I wish to speak with the three of you," the Queen said.

We sat silent and listened. She was a beautiful young woman, with pale skin and elaborately braided brown hair. Her eyes were brilliant green, and her movements were graceful.

"I am young and new to the throne, but I have some ideas that I would like to discuss with others who may share my views."

Her eyes flicked briefly to Porter. He tried to hide his smile, but couldn't quite manage it. The Queen was doing a better job of remaining composed.

"Could you be more explicit about your views, your Majesty?" I asked.

"I understand my Bureau has arrested the men because you are leaders of the Underground."

"That's correct." There was no reason to lie.

"Mrs. Melnyk has been arrested for the crime of possessing technology she brought from another planet."

"That's right," Annalee said. She sensed the undercurrent flowing between the Queen and Porter, but couldn't understand it.

"What exactly do you want from us, your Majesty?" Porter asked. He gazed at her intensely. I doubted he was only talking about the present circumstances. Porter was thinking about his future as well.

The Queen lifted her chin and met the gaze of each of us before she spoke.

"I wish to open a discussion between the throne and the Underground."

"To what end?"

"I want to reintroduce technology to Yordbrook, Mr. Melnyk."
