Beyond the Eagle Fault
Greta
’
s
with
me
when
I
pull
Suzy
out
of
the
surge
tank
.
"
Why
her
?
"
Greta
asks
.
"
Because
I
want
her
out
first
,
"
I
say
,
wondering
if
Greta
’
s
jealous
.
I
don
’
t
blame
her
:
Suzy
’
s
beautiful
,
but
she
’
s
also
smart
.
There
isn
’
t
a
better
syntax
runner
in
Ashanti
Industrial
.
"
What
happened
?
"
Suzy
asks
,
when
she
’
s
over
the
grogginess
.
"
Did
we
make
it
back
?
"
I
ask
her
to
tell
me
the
last
thing
she
remembers
.
"
Customs
,
"
Suzy
says
.
"
Those
pricks
on
Arkangel
.
"
"
And
after
that
?
Anything
else
?
The
runes
?
Do
you
remember
casting
them
?
"
"
No
,
"
she
says
,
then
picks
up
something
in
my
voice
.
The
fact
that
I
might
not
be
telling
the
truth
,
or
telling
her
all
she
needs
to
know
.
"
Thom
.
I
’
ll
ask
you
again
.
Did
we
make
it
back
?
"
"
Yeah
,
"
I
say
.
"
We
made
it
back
.
"
Suzy
looks
back
at
the
starscape
,
airbrushed
across
her
surge
tank
in
luminous
violet
and
yellow
paint
.
She
’
d
had
it
customized
on
Carillon
.
It
was
against
regs
:
something
about
the
paint
clogging
intake
filters
.
Suzy
didn
’
t
care
.
She
told
me
it
had
cost
her
a
week
’
s
pay
,
but
it
had
been
worth
it
to
impose
her
own
personality
on
the
grey
company
architecture
of
the
ship
.
