*Also, unlike most Sandemans,* came Owajima's amused thought, *I was eager for Talent training. We both know it is impossible to lie, mind-to-mind, so: you are still thakur-na to Ranger Losinj and on a mission for her?*
Medart did some serious thinking about the young Irschchan while he waited in the briefing room for Hobison. Like most Rangers, he'd learned to follow his occasional hunches, and one had hit him on the way up to the Chang. Corina Losinj was important, both to the Empire and on a very personal basis to a certain James Medart.
"Having to take over one of the only two non-human governments they may see it as evidence we don't really consider non-humans as equals." "We'll have to convince them otherwise." Davis paused briefly. "Jim, do you think your hunch that Ms. Losinj is important could mean she's Ranger material?" "No way to know yet, sir.
Nevan was relieved at the Ranger's calm response. "I would like to serve Ranger Losinj, but she doesn't need an inexperienced young officer, even a warrior. Since I've been given my choice of assignments, I was hoping you'd help me pick one that will give me the kind of experience she's likely to need.
"Will that be sufficient if Losinj is there and opposes you?" "Yes," Thark replied without hesitation. "Admittedly she is strong, but she is only one person; she will, at worst, slow me somewhat." He returned to the original subject. "Once we eliminate the Emperor and any Rangers there, we should have no major problems.
Losinj, there's no asylum involved; I've said I need your help, so you'll be coming aboard the Emperor Chang with me." "I have no desire to be killed, and you certainly need to know about Talent. I will give you what help I can." Medart was careful to hide his amusement at that response; she'd made her choice already.
Small as it was, this was a space-going vessel of the Imperial Navy, something she'd thought lost to her forever when her Talent made its belated appearance. Her ears went forward attentively; she didn't want to miss anything. Medart noticed, and smiled. "Your first time aboard a spacecraft, Ms. Losinj?" "Yes, Ranger." "Take the right-hand seat forward, then.
"According to the message I just received, it is not only possible, it has happened, and worse. She made it past both, and into the Planetary Palace. Ranger Medart, who was unfortunately on Irschcha at the time, arrived two hours later. His lander, presumably with him and young Losinj aboard, left for his orbiting battle cruiser soon afterward." He turned to his chief aide.
Losinj?" Corina inclined her head. "I appear to be in your hands, Ensign." "You might as well call me Sunbeam," Yamata said as they left the group. "Everyone else does, even Ranger Medart, except on watch. And you heard the Captain, I'm not standing watches any more, thanks to you.
Couldn't be helped, though. "Good work. Hold off on Losinj; I'd rather not probe someone trying to help us unless there's no other choice." He grinned, wolflike. "If somebody thinks she's worth killing to keep her from us, she's got to be valuable I'll be there in about two hours, and I'll stop by Interrogation before I join you. Medart out." Dawson switched off, looked at Corina.
