Life is lived at a fast pace. Chee Lan rescues David Falkayn on the Moon and both must immediately travel to the rogue planet, Satan, currently swinging around Beta Crucis. When, near Satan, an interrogated prisoner discloses the coordinates of the enemy planet, Dathyna, Chee Lan and Falkayn must immediately go there as spies while the Dathynans still believe that the location of their home planet remains a secret. Van Rijn deduces that his trade pioneer crew members have located Dathyna and have gone there to spy. In fact, he counts on this when he allows himself and Adzel to be taken prisoner by the Dathynans/Shenna. Even if Adzel and he cannot escape, they might be able to relay military intelligence to the other two. Long shots pay off. Two rescue two. Fortuna audentes iuvat.

Yup. Upscale and downscale risks are related; nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Absolutely, I agree!
Ad astra! Sean
