On the trail of these [[FWMD]]s the trail leads to the swiss mountain where, in a fearful liquity storm, with GPS on the blink, Boone's vehicle skids off the tracks and into a convex ditch. “the Alpha generator has thrown a rod”. | |||
Boone and Aggie track back to an old house by the lake they'd spotted a few miles back. Turns out to be an orphanage. All lights on. where they are welcomed by Dr X . They have stumbled on ugland house. Disarmed of their csas at the door they are fed, watered, and as she returns from a washroom Aggie follows a weeping child down a hallway, where she discovers the terrible secret of the orphan manufacturing laboratory. She doubles back and alerts Boone they swipe the sniveling child and make escape in a boat across the lake. | |||
They don't realise the girl is a multicellular vehicle. She spawns a double. And another. And another. | |||
"Jesus it's a side pocket!" | |||
“close it out !! Close it out!" Boone's voice was urgent now. | |||
“shes just a little orphan ..." | |||
"Jesus Aggie pull the fucking nav trigger would you?" | |||
Aggies face was wet. It was the horror of war. "All these memories." Aggie waxed the kid with a section 6(e). The kid went down with a a crazy smile. There was a small mtm shock wave waft that knocked Aggie back but she staggered and held her feet. The kid collapsed in on itself. The rest kept coming. | |||
“jesus it is a segregated child! Find the parent!" | |||
"Dust it!" | |||
Boone screamed “no”, but it was too late. | |||
Aggie’s 87 blammed out a 5(a)(v) filling the air with choking dust - Opco had them widened to all kinds of financing arrangements. Opco and Aggie hit the deck. The air flared and flashed and sparkled across the gunwale. The dust cleared. | |||
“What the living fuck?” The kids still stood. The kids kept coming. <Br> | |||
“They're segregated, Agster.” <Br> | |||
“Oh, shit.” | |||
The nearest kid kept advancing, like some zombie. | |||
Aggie pumped the nearest one full of collateral — off the run oats —sending it staggering back. Boone jammed a rock on the cross accelerator and set the wheel along a forward curve. The vehicle roared a sweeping arc toward the jetty. When I say ... Jump okay? | |||
What? | |||
Trust me. | |||
Hold em... The mtm ticked down. Aggie baffled a corp bond. | |||
Hd em... The craft swept closer | |||

The Squad rent an office in a disused building on the [[Offworld]] from a creepy sleazy guy. Formerly a grand icon, now a dilapidated sweating wreck, dripping water, swathing lights.

Paul]] manages to lure [[Edd Sweeney]] out of his office by calling from reception as a taxi driver. Also they discover a way of communicating by transporting down a wormhole into another dimension in the time-space-tedium continuum. They key is to find a portal — these are usually negotiation oubliettes — which you have to slingshot yourself around, but if you miscalculate your trajectory you get sucked into it forever. Edd and AJ do this but work out that the must fundamental particle in space-tedium continuum does not collapse - indeed, the negotiation oubliette is a field constructed out of these fundamental particles — so the key is to find one. You have to reopen the portal and “[[Knee slide|knee-slide]]” out of it, using a legal weapon of inarguable, petulant, infinitesimal objectionability that no-one can object to it, at which point a brief window opens through which you can [[knee-slide]] or [[Swept-back wing glide|jet-plane]] out of it. | ||
