"The records from Rhimodian systems. And now you, of course."
"How did you know that Master System was going to restore her memories?" Veta asked.
Bianca blinked. "Master System and I had quite the chat while I was in the medical ward. We watched videos, attempted assassinations, and other interesting things Master System felt the Terrans needed to know about."
"Is there more?"
"Now is not the time," Bianca said. "We need to find Caoimhe first."
Eleanor nodded as she rubbed her temples.
"Do you have a headache?" Jedriek asked.
She glanced at him. "You would think that I would, but no. I feel fine. Just a lot of data the system is collating." The information was unlocked, but she was sorting it all through her mind--like she was opening a bunch of files that she'd thought she lost. It was all there, and part of her wanted to sit in a corner and just let it all unfold, but she knew she didn't have time for that right now.
They had to find Caoimhe.
And Freya.
"I think I may have an answer to where Freya is," Harbin said.
"What have you been doing back in the medical bay?" Veta asked.
"Working. You?"
She shrugged.
"So, how do we find Caoimhe and Freya?" Eleanor asked.
"With these," Bianca said and tapped her earrings.
Veta stroked her bracelet. "What are they? Some kind of trackers?"
"Of a sort. Evidently, Freya had been working on decoding their signals before she left." Harbin displayed a map in the air. On it was some red dots. "You can see where the signals are coming from."
"What are the red dots?" Eleanor asked.
"The jewelry. There's something in them that Freya was able to track." He zoomed in on Sol-3. "If you look, there are two dots here on Sol-3. I'm betting one of those is Freya, and the other is Caoimhe."
Eleanor nodded. "Okay. So let's go get them."
"That might be a challenge," Bianca said. She glanced at Harbin. "Show her the rest."
"What is the problem?"
"That," he said and flicked another switch. There was a massive series of more red dots exploding all over Sol-3.
Eleanor blinked. "Is that, uh, Terran forces?"
Harbin nodded. "They're manifesting between where Freya is and where Caoimhe is."
"Do they know she's there?"
"They know someone is. Look at how they've moved in the last six hours."
Sure enough, the group had been working their way toward where one of the singular red dots was.
But Eleanor noticed something else. The other singular dot--she assumed it was Freya--was moving that direction as well.
