Chapter Five
Embeth woke alone to the annoying beeping of the alarm she had programmed on her smartphone. Ysaak must have slipped out sometime in the early morning hours, and though she understood the need to be discreet, she still keenly felt his absence.
As she rolled out of bed, her head was swimming, and chills shook her. Her entire body ached, and it was like having the âflu and a migraine all at once. She barely made it to the en suite bathroom before she vomited, having to spend several minutes leaning against the toilet before she was certain she could stand up.
Falling ill was an unexpected turn of events, and she hoped she hadnât picked up some dreadful alien virus for which she had no immunity, though she had learned during her research that Dazons rarely suffered from any illness, since most had been eliminated due to genetic manipulation and nanotechnology. More likely, it was something sheâd picked up on Earth before her departure, and it had taken a few days to incubate.
A quick shower left her feeling just slightly better than death, and she managed to slip on a loose black dress that was appropriate for the morning meeting, but wasnât too taxing to put on.
A glance in the mirror revealed her complexion was more gray than brown, and she looked awful. Though she lacked the energy to do it, she forced herself to apply enough makeup so that she didnât look like she was about to keel over. She didnât think she was critically ill, but she was definitely the sickest sheâd ever been in her life. Not that she would allow that to keep her from hopefully getting a peaceful agreement settled with the emperor that day.
She had barely finished preparations when there was a chime at her door, and the hydraulic doors parted to reveal Damon standing there, with Ysaak a couple of feet behind him. âIf youâre ready, Ambassador Williams, Iâll escort you to the meeting room,â said Damon.
âThat wonât be necessary, Lieutenant Connors. Iâll take the ambassador.â
Damon seemed nonplussed by Ysaakâs words, but he inclined his head.
She fell into step beside Ysaak, leaning heavily against him for a moment as a wave of lightheadedness swept over her. She trembled from a chill, and his arm around her waist.
âEmbeth? Whatâs wrong?â
She gave him a shaky smile and concentrated on walking forward. âI woke up feeling ill. Iâm sure it will pass, and Iâm certainly not delaying our talks because of a touch of the âflu.â
He looked concerned. âWhy donât I take you to the medical facility before the meeting?â
She shook her head, almost immediately regretting the motion because caused a wave of nausea to overtake her. âNo, that wonât be necessary.â Since the Dazon relied heavily on nanotechnology for health, she assumed the solution offered to her would be in the form of nanotechnology.
She wasnât opposed to the technology, per se, but she wasnât about to undertake the treatment herself, and especially not on an
