	Talia gazed through the flight cabin's window and sighed. Those were far from the first sub-vocal words she'd cast into the void since leaving Jerusalem Maior. All had gone unanswered. She pressed a button on the communications console, but found no luck there either. Screaming Barracuda was unreachable too. Wu Tenchu had told her not to worry, but hadn't offered any explanation. Now the mandarin wasn't responding to her transmissions.		Talia gazed through the flight cabin's window and sighed.

	There are people in the galaxy who understand Sian military vessels better than you do. The empire's elite aerospace engineers know them as well as devoted lovers know each other's bodies, and if pressed could probably reconstruct them cabin by cabin on a datapad. Even among rank and file crew members, there are some who spend hours examining schematics because they yearn to prove themselves superior to their fellows; others wallow in them out of passion, staring at plans and diagrams, or glorious three-dimensional projections, with the same bright eyes as a comicbook collector gazing upon his favorite issues.
