DOCTOR DAN’S LAB was very quiet. Dev felt relieved when they went inside, and the doors slid shut behind them. She watched Tayler run over to the models and stand on his tiptoes to look inside. “He looks a bit like you.”

Jess was behind the main console, pecking at the control surface. She looked up and over it at Dev. “Yeah.” She looked back down. “This is crock, Devvie. I can’t do anything with it.”

Dev came over and joined her and took the stool next to her. She leaned on the console. “The transmitter is down. See, here.” She pointed at the screen. “All those pending messages are waiting in queue.”

“Fix it?” Jess slid out of the seat and offered it to her.

“I don’t think we can from here.” Dev took over the input pad. “The transmitters need the station to be on exact sync to go online. With all the disruption, that will not happen in the short term.”

Jess frowned. “You can’t do it manually?”

Dev looked at her. “Position station? No. I don’t think even Doctor Dan could do that.”

“Crap. I should have taken over that shuttle.” Jess sighed. “With my luck when they arrived no one triggered the emergency recall because that bastard Doss is in with them.”

“I’ll check.” Dev got busy at the console.

Jess watched her for a minute then went over to where Tayler was climbing on the table next to the models to get a better look. “Hey, Tay.”

He had both hands on the glass and looked inside. “What’s this?”

“That’s the inside of someone’s head,” Jess said. “You want a drink?”

“Oh, yeah!” he answered immediately. “Don’t like the stuff they have here.”

“Nah me neither.” Jess went over to the drink dispenser and looked inside. There were small, sealed cannisters of kack and she smiled in surprise, recognizing them. “And neither did the doc.” She took out three of them and opened one, handing it to him. “There ya go.”

Tayler sniffed it suspiciously, then took a gulp, with evident approval.

“Jess,” Dev said, suddenly. “I think you should see this.”

Jess sighed. “Words like that never end well. Something going to blow up again?”

“No. It’s a message for you.” Dev looked over at her. “From your home place.”
