Rheba walked over to the cup. She pointed at it with her finger. Energy flared for an
instant. She handed the cup to her disgruntled BreтАЩn. тАЬDonтАЩt burn yourself.тАЭ

тАЬThe zoolipt would take care of it.тАЭ

Rheba shuddered. She did not like to think about the turquoise alien that had entered
their bodies on Daemen. Kirtn was more philosophical than she about the zoolipt,
perhaps because it had saved his life when the Seurs were doing their best to kill him. She
did not deny that the turquoise soup had its uses. She was just uneasy knowing that a
Zaarain hospital had taken up residence in her cells. Things Zaarain had a habit of being
unpredictable.

The shipтАЩs lights flickered so briefly that only she and the energy-sensitive Fssireeme
noticed it. A chime sounded twice, then twice again. FssaтАЩs voice, via a memory cube,
notified the inhabitants in thirty-three languages that landing was imminent.

IтАЩsNara approached, a look of determination on her normally bland features. тАЬWeтАЩve
decided that we want to be put down on Tivveriolia. It has a good spaceport with all the
most modern downside connectors.тАЭ

тАЬWhatтАЩs the transportation like from there?тАЭ asked Rheba innocently.

тАЬVery fast. FтАЩlTiri and I wonтАЩt have any problem at all getting to Serrio ...тАЭ Her voice
faded as she realized that Rheba had tricked her into admitting that Serriolia was still
their ultimate destination. тАЬYouтАЩre worse than he is.тАЭ
Rheba smiled. тАЬIтАЩve beers working on it.тАЭ

IтАЩsNara hesitated, then whispered, тАЬThank you,тАЭ and hurriedly withdrew to stand next to
her husband. Neither illusionist spoke again until the ship touched down and the
downside connectors were in place.

тАЬNo formalities?тАЭ asked Kirtn when the call board remained dark.

тАЬIf you need anything more than the port supplies, you just send out a call in Universal.
If anyone is interested, youтАЩll get an answer. The port facilities are free, although itтАЩs
customary to show yourselves onReality Streetas payment. You two will be a sensation,тАЭ
added fтАЩlTiri. тАЬWeтАЩve never seen your kind before. YouтАЩll be the source of a thousand
new illusions.тАЭ

тАЬAnd afterReality Street?тАЭ asked Rheba.

тАЬThe Liberation clan hall. TheyтАЩll tell us where our family is, andтАЭтАФhe smiled grimlyтАФ
тАЬwhether we have to spend the rest of our lives projecting invisibility.тАЭ

Rheba and Kirtn looked at the control board. A series of numbers and colors moved in a
continuous loop, describing the environment around the ship. She sighed. Hardly an ice
planet. It was warm, even for Senyas tastes. Kirtn would begin to shed after an hour out
there.
