A NEAR-INVISIBLE CLOUD OF UNIFORM DENSITY SPREAD OUT IN AN ARC.
That cloud was, in effect, Adam. It was dormant, a body waiting for the arrival of its consciousness—a
cloud of nanomachines vast enough to saturate the surface of Bakunin.
They were going to destroy it.
Data scrolled by, showing Mallory’s ghost fleet of empty, near-derelict tach-ships signaling back their
status. Their computers were all synced, their drives hot, the damping coils on their drives disabled. Toni
II shuddered just thinking of so many ships taching simultaneously. She glanced at the status of the
Daedalus ’ drives. They were still cold, inert to the surge these ships would generate . . .
The meters monitoring tachyon radiation spiked.
The ships were underway. She looked back up at the holo of the cloud. Right now, nearly seven hundred
ships were taching into a dangerously small volume in the center of it. Unfortunately, the light from their
arrival would take nearly an hour to reach them.
“Fourteen seconds,” her sister said from the captain’s chair. She leaned back and said, “It’s over now,
one way or the other.”
“Do you think it worked?” Karl asked.
Toni II could see the comm channels all lit up by chatter, and she could see why. The tachyon radiation
meters had slammed the upper limits of their resolution across the board. If theDaedalus hadn’t shut
down their tach-drive completely, a good part of their engine would have burned out even with the
damping coils.
Mallory’s voice came over the general comm channel, telling the fleet to render what aid was possible to
the damaged ships in range.
Please, after all this, let us have destroyed it.
