In the bright, but etheric light of a watery white sun, two lithe figures
were sprinting with shoulder bags flying over wide meadows to where a
creaking, hobbling cart was nearing a painted pole over a stone road that
stretched into the distance at either end. Coming to the bordering fence,
the foremost of them, rather than stopping to open it, leapt over without
breaking his stride, swinging up both legs to one side with a rolling
movement of the hips like a professional athlete. He ran to the other
side of the road where the pole was and put a hand against it, flinging
up the other hand to hail the cart as he stood panting, the half-filled
bag hanging straight like a dead thing from the crook of his elbow where
the strap had slipped. Some yards behind him, his companion cleared the
fence in a similar way, supporting himself with one hand on the fence's
top beam, and landed with a grunt. He was older and less lightly dressed
than the other one, who wore a tight leather tunic over tan leather leggings,
his long hair gathered in a single black braid. Rather than touching the
pole, he fell against it, breathing heavily. The small woman driving the
cart drew the horses to a halt, grinning widely. / ¦b©ú«GªÌ , ¦ý¬O¤ôªº¥Õ¦â¤Ó¶§ªº etheric

"You are always late," she chided the first one, although semantically
rendered her sentence would sooner read `unconditionalparticle delayed
pronoun second-person-singular-male vocative case indicating slight respect'.
He uttered something expressing no respect at all, and she laughed. Yaana
was a dignified and imposing figure, invested in addition with the air
of mystery that came to people of great height, and his companion was
downright icy, but it had been her privilege at every succession of the
moons to see their composure break down completely as they pelted across
the fields to make it on time for the only public means of transport available
to the burg. They always travelled unescorted and unchaperoned, although
she doubted anyone would dare lay a finger on them. Moreover, they were
not particularly at risk. One was too plain to attract notice, as well
as being a qualified Preserver of Justice, while the other was known as
a hardened criminal. / " §AÁ`¬O«Ü¿ð",¦o¥¸³d¤F²Ä¤@¤@, ÁöµM»P»y·N¦³Ãö¦a´£¥X¦oªº¥y¤l·m¥ý¦û¦³¤g¦a¤§¤H±N·|Ū¶Ü©µ¿ð¥N¦Wµüªº

"There is always much to do," Yaana said, although a more literal
translation would have been `finish-imperfect tense impersonal, plural
genitive pronoun-particle many-task' with the echo of a briskly polite
vocative. "The new house is to be made for three, four if they all
stay together. There's crops to be tended, drains to be laid and a baby
to take care of, although mercifully I am spared that particular task.
And then there's the case. I see you have a heavy load?" / "

"Fortunately for you, or I would have been long past the stop,"
the driver quipped, and then resumed more seriously: "I've been listening
to those axles groan with a worried ear. Next time, I may tell people
to save their sendings for a second round. Still, I don't think you'll
be the straw that breaks the horse's back." She extended an inviting
hand to a free bench at the front of the loaded cart, and the first one
mounted. "And I wouldn't make you walk - not after working so hard."

"I swear I was pounding in a nail not one minute ago," the older
one said, wiping back his mane. Both the palm and the back of his hand
were scarred, the markings running up his wrist and disappearing into
his sleeve. His long face, shaded by a springy forelock of vivid red,
was made more sinister by the cuts that scored his cheeks and the black
scarf covering his missing eye - the left, the fighting side. Yaana reached
a hand to him to help him up. When she was satisfied they were both seated,
the driver let out an explosive sound to set the heavy draught horses
in motion. Sitting by the side of his companion, Yaana put an arm around
him, lowering his voice and changing to a language that was hard and jagged
as a magpie's chattering. "Are you all right?" / " §Úµo»}§Ú¤@Ó°v¤lªººV¥H«e¤£¬O¤ÀÄÁ",

Back at the range, a very English-speaking youth was pacing round the
yard, causing flightless, downy-feathered fowl to scatter at each step.
A small white dog sat watching him with cocked head, then ran along a
few paces as if hoping to lessen his burden by sharing it with him. "Where
the hell is he??" / ¦b½d³ò¤ä«ù,¤@Ó«D±`»¡^»yªº¦~»´¤H¥¿¦b¿â¨B¦^¦X½X, ¤Þ°_¤£¯à¸ªº,µ³¬Xªº-¦Ð¤ò¤F³¾¦b¨CÓ¨BÆJ´²§G¡C

"Stop scaring the chickens," the pretty girl carving wood on
the porch said; or maybe she only seemed pretty, through the combination
of her platinum-blond hair and wide-eyed, insolent smile. She was a great
deal larger than the two shrew-like women sitting beside her, cleaning
tack with saddle soap. She laid down the chisel and blew to clear the
planks of parings. "He'll teleport if he has to. / "°±¤îÅåÀ~¤pÂû",ÀJ¨è¦bªù´Y¤Wªº¤ì§÷º}«Gªº¤k«Ä»¡;

You know he'll be on time." "I can't understand why we can't

a vehement gesture. The dog came to a stop and sat at his ankles. / §Aª¾¹D¥L±N·Ç®É¡C"

"Believe it or not, this is easier," the girl said simply, continuing
to carve decorations in the flat slab. He shrugged and went inside, the
small dog following on his heels. The girl cast an eye at the setting
sun, tinged orange at the underside. Although it was still light, dusk
was approaching, the time when traditionally her kind became active. It
would soon be time. / " «H¤£«H¥Ñ§A, ³o¬O¤ñ¸û®e©öªº",¤k«Ä¥u¬O»¡, Ä~Äò¦b¥©Zªº¥ªO¤¤ÀJ¨è¸Ë¹¢¡C

"On" buttons, waiting impatiently while the computer ran through
the whole rigmarole of startup procedures, virus scanners and security
codes. He was alone in the lab, the regular employees having long gone
home. Computers had never been a favourite with him, but if he was going
to use them, he thought, they'd have done better to give him the old Unix.
You would think, he continued his mental monologue, that with internal
memory boosted up to ten times that of last century, more and more of
the OS functions programmed into EPROM and system speeds soaring up to
200 Mhz and more, computers might actually have become a bit faster. No
such chance. Whatever the hardware improvement, the software developers
kept right up with it and developed even more ponderous programmes. Today's
computers were mammoths, and he bitterly regretted their lack of simplicity,
his lack of understanding of their complexity and Nambu's insistence that
he brush up on his computer skills. He was no good at this, he told himself.
This was Jun's area, maybe Jinpei's... / " ON" ¦©¦í, ¤£@·Ðµ¥Ô·í¹q¸£¶]¹Lªì³Ð¤½¥qµ{§Çªº¾ãÓ¤¾ªøªº¼o¸Ü¡A¯f¬r±½´y¾¹©M¦w¥þ±K½Xªº®ÉÔ¡C

Galactor he had no idea. Good thing he'd discovered a way of combining
business with pleasure; apparently these contraptions and their connections
were used for more than scientific research alone. And the fact that he
worked on a borrowed machine, to which he had no access until the owners
were gone, leaving no one there to spy on him, made it all the easier.

At that moment, a brief message "Systems load completed" flashed
onscreen and his internal monologue was cut short by the instant appearance
of the long-awaited Desktop. Eagerly, he clicked on Networks-NetKit-Telnet
and typed in the address scribbled on the envelope that he kept his ID
pass and lab keycard in to prevent them from becoming grubby with Coke
and breadcrumbs. Domestic hygiene wasn't his thing, not when he was used
to lying under a car's greasy, grimy underside with his eyes screwed up
against the falling bits of mud dislodged by his tinkering. The monitor
flashed again and settled into the imitation, at least, of the old familiar
Unix screen, scrolling up rapidly as it filled with the initials XAX and
the mainframe's login frame. It was a multinational server that predominantly
used the Roman alphabet, although he had seen Cyrillic, kana, kanji and
even Hindi characters. He had stumbled on it purely by accident, when
in a fit of boredom he had opened the Networks menu and started clicking
at random. Most of it was restricted, but the particular area where he
was headed was a free-for-all chatserver with the nature of an officer's
mess, but less formal, and a morbidity of imagery that suited him well.
The sysop was strict in flinging out people who disrupted the telnet meets,
and it had become his habit to drop in at the end of every week when some
of the weirder customers were passing. He gave in the email address of
the account, altered with ghost characters to prevent any unauthorized
person tracing it or replying to its mails, to gain admission to the public
area and, once there, typed in the address of Crossroads and entered his
handle and password. Then the screen scrolled up again, showing: / ¦b¨º¤ù¨è,

This is the central point of Crossroads, where all paths meet: a stone
cross, and four roads leading in opposite directions. Overhead, ravens
circle, searching for carrion. Suicides were buried here, and if you look
carefully you can see the depressions in the grass where their graves
used to be. Tread carefully, lest a hand comes out from the earth to grab
you. / ³o¬O¥æ¤e¸ôªº¤¤¥¡ÂI, ©Ò¦³ªº¸ô®|¹J¨£: ¤@¶ô¥ÛÀY¥æ¤e, ©M¬Û¤Ïªº¤è¦V¥|±ø¹D¸ô±a»â¡C ¦b°ª³B¡A¤j¯Q¾~¥]³ò,´M§ä¦º¦×¡C ¦Û±þ¦b³o¸Ì³Q®I¸®,

Logging off after an hour's chatting, Joe was satisfied; not only for
implicitly disobeying Nambu's orders, but also, which was even more disobedient,
for taking part in a community outside of the team, that shared his hopes
and ambitions: for although both sides had been cautious in speaking of
their professional lives, he had no doubt that this was one of the UN's
secret military enclaves dedicated to fighting the forces of Galactor,
like himself. Or maybe just an academy, and the chatters were young recruits.
There were a number of people he couldn't place, but on the whole they
sounded tough and professional, and he liked it. Regretfully remembering
Cougar's offer, he wondered if he would ever be permitted to contact the
base officially and meet the people he had spoken to. He considered taking
it up with Nambu, tried to imagine what the Doctor's response would be
if he found out about Joe's illicit netsurfing. Disciplinary measures,
a reprimand, maybe a grounding... No, he decided. This would be his secret.
