Aboard the Cobb, Franke saw the flash out of the corner of his eye, and cursed. ‘Mead, take evasive action!‟ He gestured to his own communications officer. „Hail the Veltrochni, and tell them -‟

A stroke of green lightning swept through the Mead as easily as if it wasn‟t even there. The Vandorian ship was reduced to a few pieces of scorched metal even before the flash imprinted its purple afterimage on Franke‟s retinas.

„Tell them it‟s a mistake,‟ he finished in a whisper. Almost a hundred people had simply been removed from life, their very molecules stripped away from each other. Only their computer records and the tears of their friends and families would be left to show that they ever existed.

„Captain,‟ Lambert asked, „do we return fire?‟

In many ways he should, of course. The Veltrochni had just destroyed a Vandorian ship in free space while on a rescue mission. He was not stupid, though. It was the Mead’s Captain who had killed her crew by firing first without cause.

„No. Hail them.‟

Liang had lain awake for some time, but given up attempting to sleep. It felt vaguely as if this city block was also sliding on a journey to somewhere. He told himself it was just nervousness, or perhaps the result of some of Glitz‟s gut-rot.
