Adam and Rand looked at each other once Amira had run off. "I should probably put out that coolant fire," Adam mentioned.

"Probably?" Rand asked, but Adam was already on his way back into the ship.

Rand pulled out his phone and dialed his boss. "We made it to Renescentia, but we're stuck here with engine trouble until we can get parts in Galeton."

[i]"So you're behind schedule?"[/i]

"We're about to be."

[i]"Can you get to Galeton?"[/i]

"Amira's looking for a ride. I'm going to stock up on supplies while she's gone. Adam's putting out a fire. We'll stay in touch."

[i]"All right. Talk to you later."[/i]

"You too."

Amira hung the notice on a bulletin board near the docks. She perused the other notices, not finding exactly what she was looking for, and then headed back to look for the others.

Rand hadn't returned, but Adam had emerged dirty and smelling a little singed. He headed off to the shower while Amira waited by the phone for a call.
