Laura Nolen - The Remnant

I nodded. “Well, I can see why it’s your favorite part. It’s very… peaceful.”

She smiled. “It is. Although, it’s not my favorite part. That is the water.”

“Is that in the coils, too?”

“It is beneath us.” She paused, considering her words. “Maybe I will show you tomorrow, when you’ve recovered from the party. It would be a good thing to show the other delegations as well.”

“Other delegations?” I asked, at the risk of sounding like a parrot.

“We’ve sent a signal to the remaining Arks. The others should be here soon. Each has a right to see how your case is stated. If one Ark goes to war, we are all affected.”

She had a point, but I couldn’t help thinking that the whole reason we were here was to put an end to any secret dealings with the Commander. I was sure the other Arks hadn’t been consulted about blowing a hole in a ship, no matter who owned it. I turned back to Isaiah, and he sensed my glare.

“How are you doing back there, Ambassador?” he asked, smiling.

“Oh, just fine. I’m especially jazzed about meeting all the other delegations.” Hopefully not in handcuffs, I added silently.

Shan gave An a helpless look, but Isaiah seemed not to mind. “Of course,” he said easily.

We reached a large wooden door, and I stepped back, expecting it to swing open, but Shan slid a keycard past the pad, and it sucked open, just like back on our Ark, revealing a wide, circular room with red walls and flooring.

“These are your quarters,” Shan said. “I regret that you will not be able to… explore during your stay. I am told that your Arkhopper contained cargo. Your things should arrive shortly.”
