as the shower needled Bren\u2019s back\u2014a moment of blissful content in a voyage neither that blissful nor content. <\/p>\n

And considering the call he\u2019d just gotten in the middle of his night, he stayed, head against the wall, longer than his habit, eyes shut, letting the steam make a warm, blind cocoon around him, letting the shower run on recycle for uncounted warm minutes. Complex input was suspended, output temporarily unnecessary. <\/p>\n

But a brain habituated to adrenaline could stand tranquility only so long before worry tunneled its way back. <\/p>\n

What\u2019s Jase want<\/i>?\u2014followed closely by\u2014 We\u2019re not that far from moving<\/i>\u2014and: This could be the big move. Natural, wouldn\u2019t it be, if that\u2019s what the navigators are doing up<\/i> there, setting up the final move, that Jase would want to talk now? <\/i><\/p>\n

It\u2019s my night. He knew he\u2019d wake me up. Jase could come here. <\/i><\/p>\n

Couldn\u2019t be any ship-problem, could it? Nothing mechanical. Mechanical problems surely<\/i> couldn\u2019t be at issue. <\/i><\/p>\n

That was it. Now he\u2019d done it. He\u2019d thought about the ship itself\u2026 about the frail bubble of metal and ceramics around his cabin, beyond the shower, beyond the diplomatic enclave of passengers on five-deck. <\/p>\n

Said ship had already endured, be it centuries ago, one spectacular and notorious navigational failure, stranding the original colonial mission in the great uncharted nowhere of the universe\u2014after which everything else had happened: escaping a nearly lethal star, reaching an inhabited planet. The survivors had built Alpha Station, in orbit about that planet\u2014and developed a bitter rift between those who wanted to stay in space and serve the ship, and those who wanted to go down to the green planet, take their fortunes and their lives in their hands and cast their lot with the steam-age locals. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
