      To my father, Al York, who gave to me his love of high adventure stories. 

      The ancient fax clacked out information on a roll of thermal paper which was yellowed with age but usable. The sound echoed throughout the room. Li watched Angie as she sat near the machine, her feet on the desk, leaning back, staring at the ceiling tiles with her arms crossed.

      He walked over from his cubicle and gave the fax a menacing look meant for Angie (and she probably knew it) before sighing. This is ridiculous.

      Cooke, sitting two desks over and filing her nails, looked up at them and snorted.

      Or we can kick the high power transmitter on and eat wattage. Up to you. Angie’s eyes never moved as she spoke. Cooke ran her hands through her spiky blond hair and rolled her eyes at Li in frustration. The best indicators of the severity of their situation were the dark roots and shagginess of her hairstyle, which was now in its third month of neglect.

      Li offered her a minimalist shrug. He was even taller than Angie, and when he sat down on the edge of her desk it looked as if he crumpled.

      Yep, said Li, crossing his own. Sue recognized a stone wall when she walked into one, though, so she shook her head and headed back out.

      She’ll tell Peter, said Cooke, brandishing her nail file at Angie.

      Fine. Don’t change anything. Angie leaned back to stare at the ceiling again. Next to her, the fax machine rattled on.

      Li had his suspicions about the fax and he knew Angie did too, but it was safer in the meantime to pretend they didn't.

      WHEN PETER WAS SIX years old, he loved the Moon. It was a vast adventure land that most children never got to play on, a huge ball of dirt which was his for the taking – his, and his little sister Angie’s. She was only three when the family first arrived and she did not remember much of it but he recalled pushing her stroller up to the
