"Forget the Earthers," she demanded. "Show us where we're headin'!" Nike heels
The display changed, causing Izmunuti and the Jophur frigate to drift out of view. A fuzzy patch moved in from the top edge, slippery to look at. Rows of symbols and numbers flickered alongside--information that might have meant something to his sister but just seemed frightening to Dwer.
"That's the... transfer point, right?" Rety asked, her voice growing hushed. "The hole thing that'll take us to UGG boots clearance the Five Galaxies?"
"It is a hole, in a manner of speaking. But this transfer point cannot serve as a direct link out of Galaxy Four--the galaxy we are in--to any of the others. In order to accomplish that, we must follow transition threads leading to some other hyperspatial nexi. Much bigger ones, capable of longer-range jumps."
"You mean we'll have to portage from stream to UGG boots clearance stream, a few times?" Dwer asked, comparing the voyage to a canoe trip across a mountain range.
"Your metaphor has some limited relevance. According to recent navigation data, a route out of this galaxy to more populated regions can be achieved by taking a series of five transfers, or three transfers plus two long jumps through A-Level hyperspace, or two difficult transfers plus one A-Level jump UGG boots clearance and three B-Level cruises, or--"
"That's okay," Rety said, clapping her hands to quiet the machine. "Right now all I want to know is, will we get to the point all right?"
There followed a brief pause while the machine pondered.
"I am a teaching unit, not a starship navigator. All I can tell is that our C-Level pseudomomentum appears adequate to reach the periphery of UGG Boots Discount the nexus. This vessel's remaining marginal power may be sufficient to then aim toward one of the simpler transfer threads."
Rety did not have to speak. Her smug expression said it all. Everything was going according to her devious plan.
But Dwer would not be fooled.
She may be brilliant, he thought. But she's also crazier than a mule spider.
He had known it ever since UGG Boots Clearance the two of them almost died together, months ago in the Rimmer Mountains, seized in the clutches of a mad antiquarian creature called One-of-a-Kind. Rety's boldness since then had verged on reckless mania. Dwer figured she survived only because Ifni favors the mad with a special, warped set of dice.
