Where All Things End: Part 4

By DAVID HILL

But today I didn't wish I was anywhere else in the Universe. I thought again of the mission ahead, and I shivered. K'trin glanced at me and smiled. Rid plodded on.Another airlock lay ahead. I wondered if our passengers were in the Briefing Room. There were three of them; that was all I knew. They'd be Astro-Scientists - had to be, for a mission like this. I didn't mind: Astros are an OK clan, though they can't understand jokes.My half-aunt placed her hand on the airlock's recognition plate. The silver door slid open. We stepped through, waited a second till the far door opened, then moved on into the Briefing Room.Yes, the passengers were there, talking to a tall guy wearing the dark blue shoulder badges of Administration. Three of them: a man, a woman, and a girl.K'trin made a little huffing sound. Rid stopped his plodding walk.
