PROLOGUE
^┬╗
Silence. A cliff face black as deep space. A dim, reddish sky beyond it. An oval bent back on
itself, all colors or no color, lying on amethyst sand. A concave vision of a red star. The cliff. The
oval. The red sun. The vision.
Silence. Darkness.

A sound. The prisoner moved her eyes, saw grey. A cushioned chair back angling into a
grey uniform sleeve. Wrist. Fingers. A control panel with a Milky Way of glittering lights.
Transparent ovals set into grey walls. Oval weapon lockers. She shifted slightly, heard her own
breath, then radio static.
