One second it was below them, round and green and inviting, and the next…The stars flickered like a missing frame in a badly cut amateur movie. Different constellations, different planets. A different sun, its light a little whiter and harsher than Cimbreanstar’s gentle orange, in a different corner of the sky. Misfit’s canopy and Xiù’s helmet conspired to keep its light from blinding her.“Jump complete,” Allison reported, for the log’s benefit rather than for the crew’s.

They all knew how Misfit felt; she was their home after all. Xiù didn’t reply. Her hand hovered above the emergency recall button and she stared up at the sensor panel like a gazelle drinking from crocodile- concealing murky waters. If there was so much as a flash, a hint of something decloaking to attack them…Even the ship seemed to hold her breath.“Hope I’m not cursing us here…” Julian ventured, eventually, “But I think we might be good. Nothing on sensors.”“Same.” Xiù told him.“Awesome.” Allison sounded relieved over the line from engineering. Beacon away in three…two…”There was the peculiar heavy clang through the hull of a little pressurized gasp of their air being released to blast the beacon microsat out from its launch tube. Ten kilometers out the beacon spat into life and the spacetime around it pinched, twisted, collapsed and deposited twenty tonnes of badly- named Gaoian starship in their lap.“Okay…” Xiù cleared her throat and hit the local radio.

Drunk on Turkey,EV- Eleven Misfit. Welcome to the Akyawentuo system.”“Still can’t fucking believe they called it that…” Allison muttered over the internal line. They got Daar’s enthusiastic rumble back in reply. Watch Bones Season 4 more. Hey, Misfit! Thanks for the welcome!”“Sensors are clear,” Xiù told him with a smile. Are you going to follow us in manually, or slaved?”“Aww, I always listen to a strong female!

What should I do?”Outrageous. Xiù took her hand off the send button long enough to laugh disbelievingly and shake her head before replying. Alright, leash yourself to my nav you giant furry flirt.”“Controls…slaved. And I’m not flirting!”Julian chuckled on the internal line. Some fellas don’t know hownotto flirt, huh?”“Sure.

Not flirting, just being friendly,” Xiù replied for both their benefit, and loaded their planned warp down to Akyawentuo itself. They’d weighed the risks and benefits of a slower- than- light approach, but even the quickest such orbit would have taken weeks. In the end, expediency had prevailed. Better to go now while they were sharp and ready, than have to while away days of travel time and maybe get caught napping if something went wrong.“Intrasystem warp at point- three kilolights in three…two…”The icon showing her where Drunk on Turkey was jolted astern, but that was the only indication that Misfit had just accelerated to three hundred times the speed of light. There was no other visual indication at first, until she became aware that one of the brighter motes of light she could see was drifting across the sky faster than the others. It flashed past unguessably far away to her right, and when she looked away from it she found that the sun had moved. Just an inch or two, but it was drifting as well.

Then it was drifting a little faster. Then it shot a quarter of the way across the sky as Misfit slung herself around its solar shallows, scooping up energy before decelerating sharply to an abrupt halt over the marbled tranquility of their destination, more than a light- second out and halfway between Akyawentuo’s twin moons. Again there was the tense minute of waiting with her hand on the emergency recall, but again…nothing.“Well.

If they didn’t notice two ships coming in at warp, I think we’re safe to say Big Hotel aren’t paying attention,” Allison declared.“That’s our first prayer answered,” Julian replied. Let’s get the surveysats out.”Xiù dropped the Drunk On Turkey’s slaved controls and left the military ship to hold station. Seeding the planet’s low orbit with dozens of cellphone- sized satellites was Misfit’s job, and they’d only get in the way.“Yeah,” she agreed. Let’s find them.”They couldn’t possibly land soon enough. Date Point: 1. 3y. AVClan Straightshield Grand Precinct, Lavmuy City, Gao. Cytosis“More trouble with the Whitecrests?”“Champion Genshi has been a zephyr for weeks.

Impossible to see, impossible to catch, and you only know he’s around after he’s already gone past.”Cytosis let his biodrone duck- nod agreeably, with a mildly irritated set of the ears. Something had happened in the halls of power among all the important Clans, and even the Straightshields largely didn’t know what it was. Their own champion, Reeko, had been uncharacteristically inaccessible himself.“I’d bet my claws against going blind at fifty that there was a Champions’ Conclave,” Father Rakkan declared.“There hasn’t been one in centuries.”“That doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.” Cytosis pointed out. It was the logical conclusion and there was no way that his host, the unfortunate Judge- Father Taarken, would have missed that. The question is, why?”He had his own dark suspicions of course, but no way of sharing them.

Two of the Champions had gone off- network, implants removed. The rest had never had them in the first place, a fact that had simultaneously limited the operations of both Hierarchy and Cabal. All across the Clans, formerly prominent Fathers were dropping out of favor while upstart Brothers and Officers were finding that their career trajectories had become unaccountably smoother. More and more, the most heavily augmented among Gao’s powerful elite were being promoted into positions of great prestige but limited influence.

That by itself was not quite conclusive—the Gaoians might simply have become infected by Human paranoia over neural augmentation—but it was suspicious, and alarming.“Rumor from Cimbrean suggests some kind of…hm…friction between Daar and the Mother- Supreme.” Brother Aryo observed. He was tiny for a Straightshield brother, but the Clan made a point of taking in initiates who showed spirit and wit. He would never be a Judge- Father, but even Cytosis was impressed by the tiny Brother’s aptitude for politics, investigation and his encyclopedic knowledge of precedent.“On what grounds?” Cytosis asked.“Yulna has never been as…hm…subtle as her predecessor,” Aryo pointed out. She travelled all the way to Cimbrean on a state visit and her first act there was to meet with him.”“A rift between Stoneback and the Females would be historic,” Rakkan said.“Epochal,” Aryo duck- nodded fervently.“Certainly worthy of a Conclave,” Rakkan finished. Judge- Father Shaal finally deigned to interject.

Ultimately, it isn’t our business,” he pointed out. What Champions do between themselves is outside of our jurisdiction.”“With respect, Shaal,” Cytosis replied on the grounds that his host was equal in rank to the battered old enforcer, “what Champions do between themselves inevitably drips down into the workhouses and the streets, where our Brothers have to clean up the mess.”An insistent wheedling call for attention made itself known in the back of his mind, one that he couldn’t possibly ignore. He allowed Shaal to grudgingly concede the point, then plucked a tablet from his belt.“…Perhaps I should check in with some of my informants,” he said.“Your…hm…good friend Fiin?” Aryo asked. Cytosis summoned the promising young Stoneback’s file. I rather get the impression he’d like to disembowel me tip to tail. But he’s been…civil.”“I have a patrol,” Rakkan said.“And I should check whether any further evidence has come forward from that forgery case,” Aryo agreed.

But please…keep us informed, Judge- Father?”Cytosis duck- nodded agreeably, sketched a gesture of respect to Shaal, and turned away. He opened the link as soon as he could safely look distracted.++0. Go ahead.++0. 00.
