Wordless and grim-pouched, Dev led AтАЩcom back inside. AтАЩcom frowned,
deep in thought, but followed meekly.

тАЬNot the plants,тАЭ AтАЩcom told his staff in the afternoon meeting, thumbing the
report on the slate before him. тАЬMy breather and exosuit test on-color, and weтАЩve
checked the entire system. No malfunctions.тАЭ

тАЬWe donтАЩt have MтАЩlayтАЩs breather or suit to test,тАЭ YтАЩlor said. тАЬThe others test

тАЬIf we had his suit,тАЭ AтАЩcom said, тАЬweтАЩd have him. YтАЩlor?тАЭ
