As for Rety, brought up by a savage band of Nike high heels exile sooners, she could not even read until a few months ago, when she began picking up the skill.
"Hey, teacher!" Rety called. "Show us where we are!"
Four gray boxes lay bolted to the floor, linked by cable to an ancient control pillar. Three had been left by the dolphins, programmed to guide this vessel through the now Jordan heels completed breakout maneuver. Last was a portable "advisor"--a talking machine--given to Rety by the Streaker crew. She had shown Dwer her toy earlier, before the Jophur robots came.
"Passive sensors are operating at just seven percent efficiency," the unit answered. "Active sensors are disabled. For those reasons, this representation will be commensurately imprecise."
A picture suddenly erupted between Rety UGG Boots Clearance and Dwer... one of those magical holo images that moved and had the texture of solidity. It showed a fiery ball in one low corner--Great Izmunuti, Dwer realized with a superstitious shiver. A yellow dot in the exact center represented this hapless vessel. Several other bits of yellow glimmered nearby, drifting slowly toward the upper right.
The Jophur have Nike heels cut loose all the captured decoys. I guess that means they know where Streaker is.
He thought of Gillian Baskin, so sad and so beautiful, carrying burdens he could never hope to understand. During his brief time aboard the Earth vessel he had a feeling... an impression that she did not expect to carry the burdens much longer.
Then UGG Boots Clearance what was it all for? If escape was hopeless, why did Gillian lead her poor crew through so much pain and struggle?
"Behold the Jophur battleship," said Rety's teacher. A blurry dot appeared toward the top right corner, now moving rapidly leftward, retracing its path at a close angle toward Izmunuti.
"It has changed course dramatically, moving at maximum UGG Boots Clearance C-Level pseudospeed."
"Can you see Streaker?" Dwer asked.
"I cannot. But judging from the Polkjhy's angle of pursuit, the Terran ship may be masked by the red giant star."
He sensed Rety sitting cross-legged on the floor next to him, her eyes shining in light from the hologram.
