“After making her decision, Ash hadn’t wasted any time. The gangway section that had fallen had left a four-foot-wide gap between the two of them and the stairs; it was just short enough to take a running jump across.

Tight knots of people had gathered in groups, examin...ing each other’s injuries. They were relieved to find that no one had sustained much more than a few bruises and some nasty grazes.
