Epilogue

Crais found Madina working at the console in command. "You have decided to undertake the search?"

"I have. He claims it is important."

"Do you think you will succeed?"

"My sources are very good. I'm almost positive they can locate her. The difficult part will be getting to her. I have a feeling part of her doesn't want any of you to find her. The other part may require convincing."

"You seem to have gained some excellent insight on Aeryn."

"Talyn has helped. He still holds her in high regard."

"There are times I think that she taught him more about life than I have."

"It will take several days before I receive any information. Perhaps we could go over to Talyn and you could help me master the finer points of the neural transponder." She stood and ran her fingers from his chin to his shoulder as she walked behind him.

"I think that could be arranged." He grinned and followed her out of command.
