- Synopsis
- Beyond the transparent dome above Louise, an artifact sailed past the limb of the Jovian planet. It was a framework of glowing rods but Loiuse could make out glimmers of elusive, brown-gold membranes of light stretched across the open faces. Those membranes held tantalizing images of starfields, of suns that had never shone over Jupiter "A wormhole Interface," Milpitas breathed. Louise smiled. "We're in the Hermit Crab, aren't we? On Michael Poole's ship." "Yes. Just before it flew into Poole's Interface--just before Poole got himself killed." "Not quite." The new voice came from the control couches at the heart of the lifedome. Now one of the couches spun around, slowly, and a man climbed out gracelessly. He said, "Actually, we don't know if Poole was killed or not. He was certainly lost. He may still be alive--although it's difficult to say what meaning words like 'still' have when spacetime flaws spanning centuries are traversed." The face--the clothes--were startling in their familiarity to Louise; a hundred memories crowded, unwelcome, for her attention. "I know you," she said slowly. "I remember you; I worked with you. But you were lost in time ..." "My name," the man said, "is Michael Poole."
