The Legacy of Lehr (2016)
“Is that true?”
The questioner was an aging hydroponics engineer sitting several places away from Mather at table in the Valkyrie’s grand salon. A diamond-pavéd badge in his lapel identified him as a retainer of the Derwal of Ain. The man had been asking inane questions since they’d been seated. Indeed, he was not alone in that, for by now most of the passengers had heard of the disturbance on the observation deck and knew that the cats were responsible both for the incident and the diversion to... B-Gem.
As the stewards cleared away the soup course and began serving the entree, Mather found himself hard-pressed to remain a gracious table companion. Easing the high collar of his black dress tunic, he turned to glance amiably at the questioner. At his left, Wallis projected an image of classic serenity in a Grecian-style gown of shimmery white, her long auburn hair caught in a soft knot at the nape of her neck, but he could sense her irritation rising to match his own.
