“Does this mean you have changed your mind about Sulos?” Harp said sharply. Saera cleared her throat before pulling a face that made me wonder if what she was about to say would be sincere.

“Maecy and I had a talk, and she convinced me of the bigger picture,” she said. “We need that intel and, with it, to find a way to disable the bombs stuck in our people’s heads.”

Because with the heads-up she wouldn’t be able to read the shock on my face, I poked a finger into her chest and lifted my hands and shoulders in a what-the-hell gesture. I didn’t even know most of the bigger picture, so how was I supposed to convince her of it?

Saera shook her head dismissively and pressed a finger to her lips. I dropped my arms in dismay and waited for Harp’s reply. It took a while as if he needed to think it over, but then he said, “On what tower are they exactly?”

Saera perked up and grin formed on her face. Then she planted a fist against my shoulder. The gesture was meant to be playful, but as soon as her fist connected with my suit, she pulled her hand back, waving it in pain, and held it to her chest.

“What the hell is that thing made of,” she said in a whisper as if the guys on the other side wouldn’t hear us.

“We’re on the one in the middle,” I said in answer to Harp’s question.

“All right,” Harp’s harsh voice said as he came back over the coms. “We need to develop a plan, and it might take a while. In the meantime, you wait there.”

“So, what…you think this is a good idea now?” I asked, ignoring Saera as she glared at me wide-eyed.

“Tyrel will explain,” Harp said before he fell silent.

“Great,” Saera muttered and sank to the ground with her back against the fence.

“Eh…Ms. Lux?” Tyrel’s voice chimed in my head.

“Yeah,” Saera and I replied in synchronized voices.

“Oh…eh…I mean—” Tyrel started to say until Saera cut her off.

“Why don’t you start calling us by our first names like you’ve always done. Might be less confusing,” she said. “I think Maecy can handle it.”

“Okay,” Tyrel replied hesitantly. “Ms.…I mean Maece, could you run a scan of the main building?”

“Sure,” I said and pointed my heads-up in the direction of the building as I moved to stand next to Saera where she sat on the ground. With all the light bouncing off the windows, the building looked almost white by the green overlaying my vision.

“What’s your first name?” I asked Tyrel as letters scrolled across my screen.

“Just Tyrel,” she said, “or Ty.”

“Okay, Ty. Is that your first or last name?” I asked. The words had barely left my mouth when I felt a tap on my leg. As I glanced down to face Saera, she wore this wan expression and slightly shook her head.

“Maece. The scan,” Tyrel said.

“Right, sorry.”

As my gaze shifted back to the building, the line fell silent.
