CHAPTER

FOURTEEN

Plutarch said courage stands halfway between cowardice and rashness. Shakespeare said it mounteth with occasion.

What we’ve got here is living proof.

Scott Bernard’s mission notes

Rand skidded to a halt, spun, and saw what had happened. “Typical!”

But he went dashing back, as Controllers turned to converge on the spot where Annie lay. Their bulging arms were raised and pointed, and their built-in weapons were ready to fire. “Intruders. Two in number. Neutralize them,” the Regess exhorted her troops.

Annie levered herself up miserably. “No, please don’t! We didn’t mean anything!”

Rand calculated time and angles. “Just hang tough, Mint. These jerks won’t know what hit them in a coupla’ seconds.”

“Surrender, Humans, or be destroyed,” the Regess demanded. Rand watched the Controllers close in, his hand on his H90. Then he holstered it and put both hands over his ears and opened his mouth wide, to lessen the impact of the blast. Annie, terrified, did the same. “Humans, this is your final warn—”

Most of the blast from the limpets’ shaped charges was directed inward, into the grotesque coils of the Sensor, but the backwash was more than enough to knock the leading three Controllers sideways.

The Sensor bore the brunt of a stupendous blast.
