We crept quickly through the open port.
“We’re in,” Tim announced in a whisper to Sam and Ma-rye-a aboard ship.
“Straight ahead until the first
junction and then right,” Ma-rye-a guided us back in her own whisper through
our Ears.
We made the turn and immediately the
whole tunnel went dark. I couldn’t see my hand in front of my face.
“Shit!” Tim exclaimed just as a soft
light came on in his hand. “Hadn’t really expected that.”
“You think they know we are here?” I
had reached out when the lights failed and caught hold of his suit. I found
myself still clinging to it with a tight fist.
