Action at last! No sooner are the team captured than they escape. Chee Lan jumps Blyndwyr and is able to hold down his gun hand. Adzel throws Wyler down and holds him with his tail, then half stuns Blyndwyr. The team appropriate their captors' weapons. Falkayn, disguised as Wyler, walks to Muddlin' Through, then returns in the ship for his companions and their prisoner, Wyler, who, however, is the single being shot dead during the escape from Babur. When requesting egress from their prison in his crude disguise, Falkayn had punched the number that he saw Wyler use to speak to a Baburite. Someone like Falkayn notices everything, not knowing in advance which data will be of practical significance. The team has learned a lot in this single brief mission and learns more while leaving the system. Adzel wants to pray for Wyler. Falkayn rightly says not nonsense but later.
Chapter VII is a complete change of scene to the Hermetian fleet approaching Mirkheim and that is more than I can handle this late in the evening.
