“I am going to get Diva out,” she told the video camera. “I think it is best to make an attempt now. The orthotubes and ortholifts are out, which means that they can’t move her anywhere else right now. She must still be in the Valhai Voting Dome.” She picked up ten mask packs and began packing them in a back pack. She added a spare bodywrap for Diva, in case hers had been damaged, and then turned to the video camera. “Coming?”

It gave an uncomfortable whine. “Your chances of success are minimal.”

“They are zero if I don’t even attempt it.”

“I am obliged to go with you. You will be assured of failure if I do not accompany you.”

Grace smiled. “I am going – with or without you.”

“But I am only authorized to help Arcan, not you.”

“I will not ask you for help,” Grace promised. “You could accompany me merely to document the trip.”

“In that case, I will come with you.”

Grace let herself out onto the terrace and made her way silently down the rexelene blocks onto bare planet. It would take her at least an hour to reach the Valhai Voting Dome, so she set up a brisk pace. This time she hardly noticed her surroundings: she was too worried about the others.

Then she thought of something. “You travel much faster than me, don’t you?” she said.

“Naturally. A snail could travel faster than you,” it informed her.

“Then perhaps you wouldn’t mind going to the lake and checking out whether Arcan’s colour is all right. That might give us an idea if he is going to recover or not. It almost seems as if he has been knocked out by chemical agent, or a pulse of some sort. It must have been that orange glow you told me about. We need to know what it is that the Sellites have invented.”

“I will go and check the lake,” agreed the machine, disappearing so fast that she couldn’t track it with her eyes. She trudged on across the thick sand, glad to have a few moments to herself.
