All of them knew the color of the sky. They did not look out at it anymore, but they knew--black, unending black, blacker than night. No stars; nothing.

They drifted in a nonsector of the nonuniverse. That's what Jackal had called it just a while ago--a nonsector of the nonuniverse. He was the amateur astrophysicist, he was the one who was supposed to know. Sara pictured herself in an open boat, rising and falling with ocean swells. The reality, of course, was nothing like that.

They were not in a boat, exactly, though it was, in theory, the interstellar equivalent of a lifeboat, and it was not open, though the canopies could be retracted from viewing ports so they could look out at the blackness all around them. But no one did that anymore.
