I sought the com link at Gamedon Central when I was 1 day out hoping the message could be boosted to me from that distance.          The file monitor replied concisely: impossible.           How much of a delay had there been? How long ago had Gallett sent the message, if indeed she had?          My muscles tightened with anxiety even though I was aware that if Gallett had messaged me it might be to impart information. Yet I doubted Gallett would send an unrestricted query listing searching for me merely to give me an update on meetings and children and Vettra pleasant as that might be. Something must have happened to her or Mirhveda City or the settlement. Or to the Rachella. Perhaps even something within the service.
