“It’s their job, and they’ve been warned about a possible intrusion, they’ll be watching the whole time.”
“Not necessarily. You’re not taking human nature into consideration. What happens tomorrow night? November 15th, at twenty-one-hundred-hours to be precise.”
“The Mars landing.”
“Exactly. And everyone in the world who’s on-line is going to spin in to the Olympus site so they can access Colonel McFarlane’s jockey chip when he takes that step off the landing craft. The marsh security people included.”
“And me, too,” I said hotly. No way, absolutely no way on Earth was I going to miss the landing. Not me. I have lived and breathed the Olympus mission for the last three years.
“So give me another time,” Bayliss said.
Which must have been a rhetorical question, because anyone with his brains would know there wasn’t an answer.

“Good idea,” Bayliss said. “A portable terminal will be able to keep in touch with the low orbit communication satellite network the whole time. With them hooked in, they can triangulate your position and provide a navigation function. I’ve got the software in my portable if you haven’t got a copy, Aynsley. You’ll be able to walk straight to the dump zone with your eyes closed.”
“I’m not going.”
“What else is he going to need?” Selim asked.
“I’m not going.”
They all stared at me.
“I’m not.”
