She
stepped
forward
into
the
light
then
,
and
the
force
of
my
hate
came
up
and
hit
me
in
the
pit
of
the
stomach
as
I
looked
at
her
.
Reileen
Kawahara
claimed
upbringing
among
the
contaminated
slums
of
Fission
City
,
Western
Australia
,
but
if
it
was
true
,
she
had
long
ago
left
behind
any
trace
of
her
origins
.
The
figure
opposite
me
had
the
poise
of
a
dancer
,
a
balance
of
body
that
was
subtly
attractive
without
calling
forth
any
immediate
hormonal
response
,
and
the
face
above
was
elfin
and
intelligent
.
It
was
the
sleeve
she
had
worn
on
New
Beijing
,
custom
cultured
and
untouched
by
implants
of
any
kind
.
Pure
organism
,
elevated
to
the
level
of
art
.
Kawahara
had
garbed
it
in
black
,
stiff
tulip
-
petalled
skirts
cupping
her
lower
body
to
mid
-
calf
and
a
soft
silk
blouse
settling
over
her
torso
like
dark
water
.
The
shoes
on
her
feet
were
modelled
on
spacedeck
slippers
but
with
a
modest
heel
,
and
her
auburn
hair
was
short
and
winged
back
from
the
clean
-
boned
face
.
She
looked
like
the
inhabitant
of
a
screen
ad
for
some
slightly
sexy
investment
fund
.
"
Power
is
habitually
buried
,
"
she
said
.
"
Think
of
the
Protectorate
bunkers
on
Harlan
’
s
World
.
Or
the
caverns
the
Envoy
Corps
hid
you
in
while
you
were
made
over
in
their
image
.
The
essence
of
control
is
to
remain
hidden
from
view
,
is
it
not
?
"
"
Judging
by
the
way
I
’
ve
been
led
around
the
last
week
,
I
’
d
say
yes
.
Now
do
you
want
to
get
on
with
this
pitch
?
"
"
Very
well
.
"
Kawahara
glanced
aside
at
Trepp
,
who
wandered
away
into
the
gloom
,
neck
craned
up
at
the
ceiling
like
a
tourist
.
I
looked
around
for
a
seat
and
found
none
.
"
You
are
aware
,
no
doubt
,
that
I
recommended
you
to
Laurens
Bancroft
.
"
"
He
mentioned
it
.
"
"
Yes
,
and
had
your
hotel
proved
slightly
less
psychotic
,
matters
would
never
have
got
as
far
out
of
hand
as
they
have
.
We
could
have
had
this
conversation
a
week
ago
,
and
saved
everyone
a
lot
of
unnecessary
pain
.
It
was
not
my
intention
for
Kadmin
to
harm
you
.
His
instructions
were
to
bring
you
here
alive
.
"
"
There
’
s
been
a
change
of
programme
,
"
I
said
,
walking
along
the
curve
of
the
end
chamber
.
"
Kadmin
’
s
not
following
his
instructions
.
He
tried
to
kill
me
this
morning
.
"
Kawahara
made
a
gesture
of
irritation
.
"
I
know
that
.
That
’
s
why
you
’
ve
been
brought
here
.
"
