THE DAYS TICKED ALONG, Chelan’s time spent with Terig for the most part, both of them making the odd visit to Shabby and his family. Whenever possible, Terig involved Chelan in his work with the Cleosans as they fulfilled their obligations regarding RIBUS 7. Incoming data from RIBUS 1 was sometimes sporadic due to transmission problems, but the delays were only temporary.

Work activities were punctuated by frequent visits from Leeman, the two women spending some of their time in the greenhouses. The gardens were all connected by tunnels, the plants tended by automated systems. But seed collection and plant propagation were hands-on activities that Leeman took great delight in. And every evening they got together with his Lordship to conjure up the latest culinary delight, Chelan’s fresh input being greeted with great fanfare.

Then very early one morning, Chelan awoke with a start. She bolted upright and looked about the room, wide-eyed. The silence was deafening. The storm had ended.

Chelan threw back the blankets, raced for her uniform, and dressed in record speed. Dashing to a window, she squinted at the bright Cleosan suns shining in all their splendor. Then her eyes widened as Iceanean fighters seared through the airway above the castle, and her heart leapt.

She ran out of her room and skidded to a halt at the top of the stairs. “Terig!” she called, but it was silent. Traversing the stairs as fast as she could, she wound her way down to the great hall and then sprinted outside. She peered up at the battlements, and there she found Terig. In mere moments, she reached him, breathless by the time she was by his side.

“My Lady!” he greeted. “A very good morn to you!”

Chelan smiled and then looked up as more fighters blasted past. “Oh my god, when did it clear?”

“I was alerted that the tail end was washing through maybe half an hour ago. The largest sunspot on Sipris was simply absorbed, and we knew the end was in sight.”

Chelan shielded her eyes and looked up at the huge globe, its sister sun below, bluish in color on the horizon. “You know, the bloody sandstorms aside, the dual star system is an amazing sight. It makes Earth and her lone sun boring by celestial standards.”

“Aye, that is true, but in a moment I will be allowing the shielding to come down so that Korba’s men can get to you. When that shielding retracts, you won’t be so impressed with the binary star system. As you know, normally this part of the world is tolerable. But with the breezes heating up from all the heat radiating off that sand, things are about to get uncomfortable... especially with both suns so close at the moment.”

“I bet. It would be oppressive to say the least.”

Terig nodded. “You won’t expire, but depending on Korba’s plans for you, I would keep myself covered, maybe even get your shroud. The rays on your bonny light skin will toast you to a crisp in no time.
