Summary: A snippet of an undercover mission.


One did not have the option of using ventilation ducts to get around quietly in Tandu; the successful revolution had learned from its own opportunities and there wasn't a duct in the country over a foot across. They used cyborg-operated dusters to maintain them, too; no chance for gas grenades to get through.

The tendency not to think in three dimensions was universal though, and Cyth could move faster than a camera flash over short distances. It was a matter of timing one's move across a corridor.

He was vaguely relieved his father didn't rule here anymore. Terribly awkward, that.
