her own nausea; feeling his quadrupled the sensation.

She watchedIndio make sure Dushawn's boots were securely planted on the metal wall.Indio turned
towards Kyle. But Kyle didn't wait. He pushed himself away from the rim with his arms and started
pinwheeling away parallel to the station's curving side.

тАЬShit!тАЭIndio 's voice yelled in her helmet over the comm. He hurtled himself after Kyle's flailing shape.
Twin streams of light flared fromIndio 's wrists. He spread his wings. Kyle's struggles carried him too
close to a solar vane. One of his wings snagged the vane and fragmented. Kyle spun out into the
darkness.Indio swooped after him. They vanished over the sloping curve of the station.

Cait hesitated. Should they wait? She switched the comm to local. тАЬDushawn,тАЭ she said.

тАЬUh ... yeah.тАЭ

тАЬI think we should switch on the emergency channel and listen for any signal fromIndio . Okay?тАЭ

тАЬYeah.тАЭ

They waited. Silence reigned. She motioned at Dushawn to switch to the local commlink again.
тАЬDushawn?тАЭ

тАЬYeah.тАЭ

тАЬShould we stay here?тАЭ

тАЬDon't know.тАЭ His response wasn't very enthusiastic or helpful.

тАЬMaybe they flew too far down the line and they're not in range of the relay antennas anymore. I think
we should fly ourselves out away from station interference and try the emergency channel one more
time.тАЭ

тАЬUh sure. That sounds good.тАЭ

Taking a deep breath to steady her racing pulse, Cait focused on the energies surging through her wings
down the fiberoptic filaments into her spine. Cold fire burned through her as she silently cursed the sims
for inadequate emergency training. She activated the wrist jets. Catheters provided an annoying but
crucial source of raw methane for the tiny jets.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw small spurts of flame sputtering out from Dushawn's wrists. At
least he was following her example and learning his suit's capabilities before leaping out into the energy
flows. She checked her visor's screen.

тАЬDushawn, did you hear anything fromIndio yet?тАЭ

тАЬNo.тАЭ

тАЬAre you ready to go out and look for them?тАЭ Cait unclipped her grappling hook and coiled the line
around her right hand and arm.
