Shipwrecked on Wayland, Djana wants to send a message courier torpedo back to Irumclaw although this will get Flandry into no end of trouble with his superiors. They watch for the torpedo to depart. The view is desolate, black sky, boiling fog and steaming mist as carbon dioxide and ammonia snow vaporizes, exposing water ice and, of course:
"A whitter of wind came in through the hull." (p. 231)
A flying Waylander robot destroys the torpedo.
Good night.

Kaor, Paul!
It was more interesting watching Djana trying and failing to send off that courier torpedo than her realizing at once it was not likely to succeed.
Ad astra! Sean
