"Rusch does a fine job of creating tension around the outcome as the well-drawn, selfish hero ponders altruism."--Rambles: A Cultural Arts Magazine
Three Earth hours later, they sat on the styroplatform in the center of camp, pretending that nothing happened. They were lithe, thin and strong, reedy in the way that athletic women were, and not nearly as brittle as they looked.
Bryer turned on the perimeter, then a punched button which raised the UV roof. He had a lot of work ahead of him, not the least of it protection against the Cuiesto. And if the Alliance heard what happened this afternoon, they would make sure he never worked again. "No roof, Bryer." Audra straightened her long legs and leaned her bronze face toward the blazing sun. "I'd like to experience the elements." "You've been experiencing the elements all day." Liv walked toward the semi-permanent canopy stretched between the three main tents. "I think we've had enough of experience." It was the first reference to the day's events, and the first quiet dig. "I don't care if we're protected or not," said Keely. She was the smallest of the three and, Bryer had noted, the strongest. "All I want is a beer."
