He had just lost someone under his authority, albeit not for the first time. He bowed his head and let the cruel, familiar wrench run its course. Years ago, when he\u2019d led Delta Flight, a wingman had died. He glanced around the command center. Night shift was departing, day shift tagging their counterparts and taking their places. He rubbed his forehead, taken by a memory of Tierna Coll, Glin-Erris\u2019s aunt. Her authoritative voice always rang through the high chamber where the Regional Council met.<\/p>\n

Her nephew had now died in Federate service. It was a sad blow. A blow to the mission, as well. Glin-Erris had been their key diplomat on board the ship that called itself Monu. Shel still had the highest epsilon strength, Uri the most experience in an intelligence capacity, and Mari\u2019s courage was unmatched. Those still were his assets. But Mari must not venture down that corridor, and she was the likeliest to attempt it.<\/p>\n

They were talking. He stilled his thoughts. Uri spoke toward the bright ceiling. \u201cMonu, whenever we have tried to become more than human, we have always become much less.\u201d It was a gracious thing for a Sentinel to say. And Daken plainly found it irresistible. \u201cI agree,\u201d he said loftily. Firebird glared. Uri barely paused. \u201cWe must refuse that honor, as you call it,\u201d he said, \u201calthough we believe you mean it generously. There is another way in which you could repay us for whatever fuel you need.<\/p>\n

Let us begin a more meaningful discussion.\u201d Yes, that shielding information. Firebird folded her hands and kept quiet. Uri had diplomatic experience. He would have a better chance of gathering information, including obtaining those shields for Federate engineers, while getting the rest of them back to Netaia alive. Monu spoke again. \u201cTwo of you have already become more than human, as you call it.<\/p>\n

I have observed you speaking to each other using communication the others plainly do not hear.\u201d Firebird sent Shel an alarmed glance. Could Monu detect subvocalizing? Monu\u2019s tuneless voice spoke again. \u201cAlso, all of you use advanced remote technology to speak with your compatriots back on Netaia.\u201d She paused once more. \u201cI have seen in your broadcasts that you crawling things honor the emptied shell, once the person leaves it. I shall return the shell of Ambassador Glin-Erris Coll to you.<\/p>\n

Please honor it however you wish.\u201d Uri had gone silent, so Firebird set down her kass mug and stood up. \u201cAre there others of your kind, Monu?\u201d \u201cI am the last.\u201d Chilled, Firebird hesitated.<\/p>\n
