There was nothing there to make Gralgiran want to look away, other than the memory of how his Heart had ended up needing to speak to the mentalist. How he had failed Jeremy.
He should have known the Earthers were up to something when the station sought to a...

“Well, that’s a first,” he says, grinning, and steps forward.
There isn’t a transition to his disappearance, no ‘curtain’ parting to let him through. He’s here,...

We all have better gear now. I won’t say it’s putting me on an equal footing wit...
