forward thinkers and often worked as security for alien races. In the society of the Kozue, they were the thinkers and statesmen. No wonder Lock was so easily absorbed into the Sector Guard. His family was known for their even temperaments.
    Sipping at the water, she hung on during the launch. When the ship settled, she drank as much water as she could, keeping one bag next to her for when she woke. With a deep sigh, she unravelled from the harness and settled on the med bed. It was time to reclaim her body and that meant sleep.
    With her surroundings set for her comfort, she let her body take what it needed.
     
    She was shifting, moving slightly as if floating through midair. Iara opened her eyes, and the air and sky of Zakaru greeted her. She was being carried on an airbed, and it was gliding into the medical centre via the outer entrance.
    “Where is he?” She asked the medic next to her.
    The young healer smiled, “He is speaking to his base on the com.”
    “Great. Why am I on this bed?”
    “You are dehydrated and malnourished. You need healing.”
    “Not with pain, please. I have had a trying time.”
    The young woman smiled, her green skin glowing. “I can do it with cold if you don’t mind.”
    “Sure. Whatever it takes to get me up and around.”
    The healer grinned. “You might be sorry you said that. We also have a teaching class in the infirmary today. This could take a while.”
    Iara leaned back and groaned. “Fine. As long as I don’t have to get up and run around.”
    The healer laughed. “No, but you may wish that you had run, Specialist.”
     
    In the machine, healing was administered and then back under the diagnostic rays. Iara was exhausted by the time Healer Gwinka was finished and the class had completed their note taking.
    Tether was standing in the observation area with Lock, and they were deep in conversation when Iara was finally allowed to walk.
    Gwinka gave her a significant look.
    Iara smiled, “Yes, Healer. I am heading for the commissary.”
    “Good. My booster will only last a few hours, so you need to get something in your system.”
    “Yes, ma’am.” She saluted and headed out the door, her white robes swirling around her.
    Footsteps behind her hinted that she was being followed. She didn’t care; she wanted some fruit and some tea. Hopefully, one of her eager students would be swirling around and she could press them into service.
    Through the halls, she kept up her stride until the smells of the commissary pulled her forward.
    She grabbed a tray in shaking hands and whisked through the line with determination. When she had what she needed, including two cups of tea, she went in search of a table.
    The weight of the tray kept her hands from trembling, but the moment she set it down, they resumed their vibration. She grabbed a fork and attacked the fruit, confident that it couldn’t outrun her.
    “Were you trying to lose us in the hall, Iara?” Tether grinned as he slid down in the seat across from her.
    “No. I was ordered to eat as quickly as possible, so I am.”
    Lock sat next to her. “Are you healed?”
    “I wasn’t injured. I was just enjoying the side effect of five days without food or water.”
    Tether stole some of her fruit. “Then why did you just spend five hours in medical?”
    She gave them both a smarmy smile, “Because one of you panics like an old woman.”
    Tether grinned, his third eye wide. “Wow. You are in a mood.”
    “I have just spent five hours being manhandled and I didn’t even get dinner first.”
    Lock winced. “I am sorry. I honestly thought you were in danger. I couldn’t wake you.”
    “I had just been awake for five days. I was a little tired.”
    “How are you now?” He put his hand on the back of hers.
    She brutally stabbed some melon. “Tired, hungry and ticked off, so there has been a change.”
    Tether blinked and focussed on something behind her. “Don’t look now, but I think you are either in trouble or
