23 His fist flew toward my face; I blocked it ude-uke. I responded with my own seiken-suzi, but he grabbed my arm and
|
|||
|
|
24 pulled me over his hip, kicking at my groin as I struggled for balance. I again managed to deflect his strike, and
|
|||
|
|
25 backed up slightly to give myself a chance to regain my composure. This sucker was good! I was generally considered
|
|||
|
|
26 one of the best in hand-to-hand combat, but so far this guy had kept me mostly on the defensive. I watched him now,
|
|||
|
|
27 waiting for his next move. It would start with a kick, either mikazuki-geri or mai-tobi-geri. I saw him shift his
|
|||
|
|
28 weight slightly, and suddenly my head exploded.
|
|||
|
|
29 Consciousness signalled its return with a throbbing in my mouth and a pounding in my temple. I reached up and felt
|
|||
|
|
30 a cold towel across the side of my face. My erstwhile opponent's face came into view and asked concernedly, "how do
|
|||
|
|
31 you feel, Joshua? You've been out for about half an hour."
|
|||
|
|
32 "Well, isn't that a kick in the head," I joked weakly. "I don't really know what happened, Sensei. I was waiting for
|
|||
|
|
33 you to kick, but I must have missed it. It didn't miss me, though, heh heh oooh."
|
|||
|
|
34 "Yes, I could see you setting up. But when I moved, you just stood there with a glazed look on your face. I thought
|
|||
|
|
35 it might be a ploy, but you never moved and finally it was too late for me to stop. Pardon me for saying, but have
|
|||
|
|
36 you been spending too much time indulging in the pleasures of Nirvana and not enough in meditation and exercise?"
|
|||
|
|
37 While he was talking, I had been exploring the aching tooth with my tongue. I suddenly realized that the tooth was
|
|||
|
|
38 the special one NET had installed, containing certain signal receptors, including the one called the 'Doomsday Alarm'.
|
|||
|
|
39 It had been demonstrated to me once, and its effects were certainly enough to distract me at a crucial moment. Such
|
|||
|
|
40 as in the middle of a fight. As its nickname implied, its activation implied some major catastrophe, and all
|
|||
|
|
41 recipients were required to drop what they were doing and report to the nearest briefing station ASAP.
|
|||
|
|
42 I made some feeble excuses to my instructor, and hurried off to the locker room for a quick shower and some clean
|
|||
|
|
43 clothes. The trick tooth was limited to those in the upper echelons, and since the Sensei obviously hadn't received
|
|||
|
|
44 the signal, he didn't have the security clearances necessary for me to explain the situation. My pride didn't want me
|
|||
|
|
45 to leave him thinking I had been slacking off, but the well-trained agent ("well-conditioned, you mean," my inner
|
|||
|
|
46 voice muttered derogatorily) knew how to ignore such distractions as pride.
|
|||
|
|
47 A short time later, clean and tastefully attired in the generic blue jump- suit that everyone wore in-house, I
|
|||
|
|
48 strode down a long, echoing corridor toward the security desk for this level. On either side were doors, most closed,
|
|||
|
|
49 many with red or green lights above them. The red lights of course meant Do Not Enter, as there was either a highly
|
|||
|
|
50 secret or highly dangerous activity taking place within (or both). If I were to attempt to enter, I would be rendered
|
|||
|
|
51 unconscious in some clever, unpleasant manner, hopefully awakening later in security detention. What happened next
|
|||
|
|
52 would depend on many factors, but even the lightest of punishments would wipe out years of advancement. The
|
|||
|
|
53 Organization was very jealous of its secrets.
|
|||
|
|
54 Behind the less well-guarded doors were more plebeian activities - unarmed combat (karate, judo, street fighting,
|
|||
|
|
55 etc.), weapons training (ranging from 'how to kill a tank with a stick and a rock' to the high-tech James-Bondish
|
|||
|
|
56 nuclear powered death-rays so dear to some agents' hearts), first aid (basic bandages to EMT 4), the care and feeding
|
|||
|
|
57 of booby traps... everything required to turn a normal human being into something that could take Rambo apart in 5
|
|||
|
|
58 seconds and put him back together again, plus brain. When the normal agents- on-the-street thought of Nirvana, they
|
|||
|
|
59 saw only the beautiful women, saunas, tennis, and the other more ostentatious trappings. What they didn't see was the
|
|||
|
|
60 other half - the intensive training which made those luxuries necessities. Only the elite made it to Nirvana, and once
|
|||
|
|
61 there, they worked like they never worked before, fine-tuning their already excellent abilities. They worked hard,
|
|||
|
|
62 they played hard. There was no such thing as 'taking it easy'; EVERYTHING was done at a feverish pitch. The
|
|||
|
|
63 institution known as Nirvana was in fact a wonderous machine; nothing was wasted. The public side with its 'beautiful
|
|||
|
|
64 people', gambling/gaming, casual drugs and sex was indeed the R&R center for NET. It was also, as mentioned, the Yin
|
|||
|
|
65 for the Yang of the hard-studying elite. Not widely known, however, was the fact that most of the workers in the
|
|||
|
|
66 pleasure center were also agents-in-training, learning how to use vices to elicit information from their subjects, as
|
|||
|
|
67 well as testing the abilities of the visiting agents to resist such temptations. Wheels within wheels, another earmark
|
|||
|
|
68 of the Organization.
|
|||
|
|
69 As I neared the security desk, I recognized the guard as one of my instructors in Surveillance Techniques. She in
|
|||
|
|
70 turn recognized me as one of her instuctors in The Use of Computers in Data Acquisition, Synthesis and Interpretation.
|
|||
|
|
71 (Familiarly known as How to Redirect the Entire City's Electric Bills to Your Victim's Account). Mutual recognition
|
|||
|
|
72 notwithstanding, we still had to go through the usual rigamarole - I gave her my ID card and stuck my face in the
|
|||
|
|
73 retinal scanner while she matched the patterns against what was encoded on my card. After she verified my existence
|
|||
|
|
74 and returned my card, she gave me a quick but passionate kiss, told me to be careful, and let me through the door to
|
|||
|
|
75 the secure briefing room. NET may be big and impersonal, but they know how to send an agent on a mission.

94 It's just like I said a long time ago-there are certain Backwaterites that have special editing priveledges...
|

|
|
95 One of them travels around with a specially equipped vehicle, and log onto BBS's and check the spelling of various
|

|

96 entries. Another has a mainframe the size of a cabin cruiser, and uses a special program to identify twits. (These

136 Bard regained conciousness slowly. The last he remember was being
|
|||
|
|
137 in a chlorine breathing alien's lab. Then everything faded out...
|
|||
|
|
138 A distant voice was saying something....
|
|||
|
|
139 "Can you hear me, sir?"
|
|||
|
|
140 He opened his eyes to find himself floating between the grav
|
|||
|
|
141 plates of a hospital bed. "Where am I and how'd I get here?"
|
|||
|
|
142 "This is Survey Base Samekh. You and your conveyor were brought
|
|||
|
|
143 in a couple of months ago. As I recall it was a magic-user of some sort..."
|
|||
|
|
144 Base Samekh! That was the base he'd been doing the prelim survey
|
|||
|
|
145 work for. But a couple of *months* in the hospital...Great Ghu, he'd be in
|
|||
|
|
146 debt for decades.
|
|||
|
|
147 Then he remembered how badly the conveyor had been damaged.
|
|||
|
|
148 Better make that a few centuries of working off the debt.
|
|||
|
|
149 But the med-tech was continuing...
|
|||
|
|
150 "...said his name was Mill-Char? Something like that."
|
|||
|
|
151 "Right. Milchar."
|
|||
|
|
152 Bard seemed to be alright so the tech 'told' the bed to 'release'
|
|||
|
|
153 him. As Bard stood and stretched the tech held out a display flat.
|
|||
|
|
154 Bard steeled himself for the bad news.
|
|||
|
|
155 "Five megacredits!"
|
|||
|
|
156 Then he saw that that wasn't a bill, it was an account balance.
|
|||
|
|
157 Quickly 'paging' thru the display, he realized what had happened. Milchar
|
|||
|
|
158 had left half a *kilo* of Aregentium. That plus the contact bonus for
|
|||
|
|
159 making peaceful contact with Straxi's people had left him not only debt
|
|||
|
|
160 free, but almost comfortably well off.
|
|||
|
|
161 An hour later he finished a debreifing and left the base.
|
|||
|
|
162 Destination: Innisfall.
|
|||
|
|
163 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|||
|
|
164 Milchar: well, now Mikey, Piper and I are accounted for. How about you &
|
|||
|
|
165 the others?

170 I have a golden ring. I tell others that the ring symbolizes the
|
|||
|
|
171 universe. The flaked away areas, where the gold is long gone, that
|
|||
|
|
172 represents entropy. Everything falls to waste. The ring could mean
|
|||
|
|
173 something special to me, but it doesn't.
|
|||
|
|
174 Hidden inside the ring is a talon. I willfully scratch myself with
|
|||
|
|
175 it each morning as a reminder should I wear another in the name of 'love'
|
|||
|
|
176 I'll only be scatching, cutting my heart to pieces.
|
|||
|
|
177 The ring is a sign of woman's lies while my wound is an open
|
|||
|
|
178 exposition of my vulnerability.
|
|||
|
|
179 Some women are never to be trusted, all we are to them is a game...
|
|||
|
|
180 a challange. So difficult is it for me to hold back my contempt.
|
|||
|
|
181 And then I wonder why I spent those nights together. It certainly
|
|||
|
|
182 wasn't love.

189 Dot tried to wipe away some of the coffee she had poured on the counter.
|
|||
|
|
190 Truckers, diesel, and open highway was not her element, and it showed. Every
|
|||
|
|
191 whistle from one of the monsters set her fingers to shaking, and the coffee
|
|||
|
|
192 spilt on the formica top of the diner counter. Each rude remark by a dimwit
|
|||
|
|
193 driver made her look away from the tray she carried and she had to mop up te
|
|||
|
|
194 dishes later. Only to recieve more suggestions from the truckers.
|
|||
|
|
195
|
|||
|
|
196 It might have been the low cut of the pink uniform, or her face. She had bee
|
|||
|
|
197 a model in high school, even got to walk on the stage in front of the studen
|
|||
|
|
198 body. But then she graduated, and never left the house again. A driver came
|
|||
|
|
199 along, she married him thinking it was the right thing to do. Only later did
|
|||
|
|
200 she figure out that she could have done anything she wanted. By then it was
|
|||
|
|
201 too late.
|
|||
|
|
202 She left him. Taking to the highways and truck stops, she had evaded him ths
|
|||
|
|
203 long only by her kindness to strangers. Not the other way around since
|
|||
|
|
204 strangers are not kind, as a rule.
|
|||
|
|
205 Timidly she gathered the empty sugar bottles onto a table in the corner.
|
|||
|
|
206 Removing the tops, she heaved the sugar sack over the bottles and poured.
|
|||
|
|
207 Granules spead across the table top silently amidst the noise of the diner.
|
|||
|
|
208 Each one was poured into until the sack was gone. And then she looked up.
|
|||
|
|
209
|
|||
|
|
210 "Delmar? Why, what are you doing here? I told you not to follow me, why don'
|
|||
|
|
211 you just leave me alone?" Her frightened voice gathered the attention of a fw
|
|||
|
|
212 truckers who turned slowly. She scrambled to put the tops on the bottles as
|
|||
|
|
213 her husband whispered insults to her.
|
|||
|
|
214 "Leave me alone, Delmar, I don't love you anymore, can't you understand that"
|
|||
|
|
215 Dot felt her nerve buckling, and her legs nervously wandering under the tabl
|
|||
|
|
216 in search of a footing. To no avail, Delmar kept naming her a whore. Soon he
|
|||
|
|
217 rose to his feet and lifted his arm as if he was about to hit her.
|
|||
|
|
218
|
|||
|
|
219 One of the men from across the diner wiped his mouth and lifted himself fro
|
|||
|
|
220 his stool. Not daring to show his intense fear of the huge trucker that lookd
|
|||
|
|
221 as if he would kill the girl.
|
|||
|
|
222 Delmar sat down again. Placed his hand around the glass of water he had askd
|
|||
|
|
223 for at the counter. His knuckles whitened under the strain of his muscles an
|
|||
|
|
224 his eyes filled with water. Then his whispers were laced with emotion, he
|
|||
|
|
225 pledged his love for her, and swore never to hit her again.
|
|||
|
|
226 The man from across the diner leaned into the bar and ordered a large ice
|
|||
|
|
227 cream float. Biding his time to see what might happen at this point. The
|
|||
|
|
228 truckers in the place were paying no attention, since any one of them had ben
|
|||
|
|
229 in the situation before.
|
|||
|
|
230
|
|||
|
|
231 Glass shattered from the tumbler inside of Delmar's fist. His face showed th
|
|||
|
|
232 torture. Delmar took to his feet and grasped his red hand with the healthy
|
|||
|
|
233 one, accusing Dot of his injury. Dot was not holding up well. Her hair had
|
|||
|
|
234 fallen out of place. She was biting her lip hard.
|
|||
|
|
235 At once the man from across the room was there. He asked Delmar by his firs
|
|||
|
|
236 name to come with him, to go drink and talk about it. This was like tossing
|
|||
|
|
237 red cape in front of a Spanish bull in heat. The red stained hand balled up
|
|||
|
|
238 into a fist and at once he was flying at the man from across the room.
|
|||
|
|
239
|
|||
|
|
240 It was then the ice cream float spread across the floor like the grains of
|
|||

283 Small ether waves parted before the bow of the R.S. "Razor's Edge", which
|
|||
|
|
284 glided smoothly through a sea of swirling mists and "parlashi-kaarin", the
|
|||
|
|
285 ether-fish. The Razor was a sleek reality-hopping sailboat guided by the
|
|||
|
|
286 spell and stave of her mage-captain, who was wondering how Bard was enjoying
|
|||
|
|
287 the funds that the Argentium had brought there in his native world. It would
|
|||
|
|
288 be used to build ultra-high energy power plants. The stuff made an amazing
|
|||
|
|
289 catalyst in all types of reactions.
|
|||
|
|
290 The ship cut a tunnel toward a blue haze in the distance- it was time to return
|
|||
|
|
291 to Celene, at least for the nonce. Several things required special care in
|
|||
|
|
292 the tower. Spring cleaning was long overdue.
|
|||
|
|
293 A brilliant flash of yellow light illumniated the deck, blinding Milchar for
|
|||
|
|
294 a few moments.
|
|||
|
|
295 '"What's for dinner," asked Pooh,' said Grann, stepping out of the yellow
|
|||
|
|
296 light and onto some of the rigging, where he hung there until the mage could
|
|||
|
|
297 see again.
|
|||
|
|
298 'Grann, you rascal! Where have you been? You missed all the excitement,
|
|||
|
|
299 really. Although I suppose I could find the father of that big slimy brute
|
|||
|
|
300 and make introductions.'
|
|||
|
|
301 'Perhaps later. Say, that Doctor fellow isn't around, is he? Some of that
|
|||
|
|
302 Coke swill sounds good about now.'
|
|||
|
|
303 Milchar smiled. 'He's not here, but I'll see what's at home. You're just
|
|||
|
|
304 in time to help with the Annual Cleaning.'
|
|||
|
|
305 Grann jumped down to the deck. 'Ah, well. My sense of timing always did
|
|||
|
|
306 need work. Now honestly, what's this about a slimy brute?'
|
|||
|
|
307 The parlashi-karrin were, for quite some time, startled at the sound of
|
|||
|
|
308 laughter that the gnome and mage made as they traded stories.
|
|||
|
|
309 Perhaps they were startled by the Razor itself, which seemed to laugh along
|
|||
|
|
310 with its passengers as they sailed toward the ever-brighter realm of Celene.

312 "...but those units have such low performance. And they're so
|
|||
|
|
313 OLD. Surely you'd rather have a more modern personal shift unit?"
|
|||
|
|
314 "Look... *I'm* paying for it. The performance is adequate. And
|
|||
|
|
315 more importantly I can fix those 'old, obsolete' units in the field with a
|
|||
|
|
316 portable toolkit."
|
|||
|
|
317 Bard shook his head over the ignorance of the supply clerk. What
|
|||
|
|
318 was he supposed to do? Haul along several hundred cubic meters of test and
|
|||
|
|
319 repair equipment. Hah!
|
|||
|
|
320 Well, that was the last item on the list. He went over to the
|
|||
|
|
321 departure area and filed his trip plan with the computer. Ghu! He'd be glad
|
|||
|
|
322 to get away from all these regulations. Almost as bad as home...
|
|||
|
|
323 Home... he hadn't thought of it for awhile. He pushed the images
|
|||
|
|
324 out of his mind. Why had they had the misfortune to be one of the lines
|
|||
|
|
325 that was randomized by their first interdimensional transfer experiments..
|
|||
|
|
326 He only knew of a handful of lines that had done so badly... And his was
|
|||
|
|
327 the only one with a single known survivor...
|
|||
|
|
328 Damn those regulators and their "safety precautions"...
|
|||
|
|
329 He pulled himself back together as he triggered his shift unit.

332 Fill your glass and sing a song
|

|
|
333 Of a life in space on the edge of fear
|

|
|
334 For we are the men who dwell in the hell
|

|

335 That's still called home for an engineer.

337 And the fires that flame in the fusion burn.

339 If he's gonna live long then he'll live and learn.

340 Some men hear the song of the stars

341 In every throb of a star ship's drive,

342 And some men find their peace of mind

343 In the hell where the drive field's kept alive.

344 CHORUS
|

345 The trail to the stars is long and wide
|

346 And littered with bodies of ships and men.
|
|||
|
|
347 It's the price we've paid for the roads we've made
|

|
|
348 That many will not see home again.

466 Rean looked over the destroyed bridge. The Imperial

467 cruisers had effectively crippled the ship. She gave the

468 order to abondon ship and then hooked up her wrist comp
|

|
|
469 to the main terminal and had the last of battery power diverted to

|
|
470 the last remaining laser battery.
|

488 Lysias: A sudden group of mean nasty problems, a whole hoard in fact,
|
|||
|
|
489 cropped up and forced me to do a sudden move. Just as soon as I find
|
|||
|
|
490 the rest of my life, I will give you a ring.

516 "Home. Home. Home again." Cragmore chanted the Power-word. With his arms,
|
|||
|
|
517 he had created a circle of one. Not as powerful as the circles engendered by
|
|||
|
|
518 many, it would hopefully be enough to achieve the desired result.
|
|||
|
|
519 "Home." Once again, as Cragmore had seen so many times on this journey, his
|
|||
|
|
520 surroundings shimmered as if seen through a murky stream. Blackness replaced
|
|||
|
|
521 the murky sights for a time, then subdued, but clear warm light replaced the
|
|||
|
|
522 dark.
|
|||
|
|
523 The Inn. Its familiar smells filled Cragmore's nostrils as he took in a
|
|||
|
|
524 deep breath. The solid wooden floor was in sharp contrast to the mushy ground
|
|||
|
|
525 he had left. Cragmore didn't want to think about the place he had left. The
|
|||
|
|
526 pain inflicted on his psi-senstive mind still echoed sharply. It was still
|
|||
|
|
527 too soon to allow the memories to spill forth.
|
|||
|
|
528 Cragmore stood, dusted himself off, and made his way to the fire, which
|
|||
|
|
529 was crackling with perfectly cured wood. The aroma from the fire, mixed with
|
|||
|
|
530 the scents of the multitude of elixers found at the Inn made Cragmore pause.
|
|||
|
|
531 He stood there, eyes transfixed on the fire, all motion save breathing gone
|
|||
|
|
532 from his body. He felt like standing there forever, comfortable, relaxed, warm,
|
|||
|
|
533 secure. It was good. And then the feeling passed. Cragmore continued on and
|
|||
|
|
534 took a seat, still near the fire, near the source of the heat, and the
|
|||
|
|
535 warm feelings Cragmore felt inside.
|
|||
|
|
536 As usual, the other visitors to the Inn ignored Cragmore. He was just
|
|||
|
|
537 another traveller who had alternatives to the large oaken front door. They
|
|||
|
|
538 had all seen it a hundred times before, and no doubt would see it a hundred
|
|||
|
|
539 times again. The apathy didn't bother Cragmore. Cragmore was glad to be back
|
|||
|
|
540 at the Inn. It was a time for rest and healing. Nothing could bother Cragmore
|
|||
|
|
541 now.

566 Nine days till cap and gown. Incredible. I can't believe I did it. And
|
|||
|
|
567 then they hand me this piece of paper that says I know something about
|
|||
|
|
568 electronics. And throw me to the wolves of imperious resume' readers.
|
|||
|
|
569 Scared shitless...
|
|||
|
|
570 It's like the first (and only) time I soloed. I taxied, managed to keep
|
|||
|
|
571 the rudder the right way, carb heat on, mixture rich, and all that---
|
|||
|
|
572 and the ground dropped away, and I looked to the right seat for Mac to
|
|||
|
|
573 say-"good takeoff, no-the stall warning indicator didn't make apeep,
|
|||
|
|
574 right--- And Mac wasn't there---
|
|||
|
|
575 I turned right out of the pattern, hoping unconsciously that Mac would
|
|||
|
|
576 be there, but he wasn't. He was on the ground, watching.
|
|||
|
|
577 "How the fuck am I going to get this thing back on the ground????
|
|||
|
|
578 Well, I just remembered what Mac had taught me, and although I did scrape
|
|||
|
|
579 the port wing, I walked away from it-and that is the official defenition
|
|||
|
|
580 of a good landing...
