The young faces inside the helmets both looked faintly disappointed.
NINETEEN
Moments later, having successfully invoked the secret entrance code, Harry was
back in his familiar control room, snug in his combat chair, his helmet on and

up equipment of all kinds, and running through a series of checklists.
He asked the

The ship assured him in its imperturbable voice that no one else had entered
while he was

eleven unsuccessful attempts to uncode the software down-locks.
"I missed you, too, baby," he said to his dear ship, patting an arm of his
familiar chair. He didn't expect any answer to that kind of remark, and he
didn't get one at least not from his ship.
Certainly the
Witch had not missed him.

Lily had no comment to make, but one of the
Templars did. "Think she was faithful to you, captain?"
Harry only grunted. He was wishing he could get out his mail and read it, but
the chances seemed hopeless at this point.
Curtly, Harry assigned combat stations, installing Lily in the chair
immediately to his right.

Two other chairs, these lacking any controls, he awarded to the pair of
Templars. Whether he was officially under military authority or not, while his
ship was under way he was going to be its captain.
Maybe now, Harry thought, would be the best time to dump the damned useless
cargo of machinery that he had already hauled, to no

big crates of some kind of food-processing gear.
But no, he could do that anytime, and there were people watching, the
Space Force in particular, who might decide the action was suspicious. Rovaki
might even manage to use it as an excuse for inflicting further delay.
The two Templars

Fred Saberhagen - Berserker's Star.html exchanged some banter between
themselves, on the surface confident but naturally nervous underneath. What
they said confirmed Harry's impression that they were both new to
Maracanda, too, maybe even newer than he was.
