AstropathAs the shock of another mind's jumbled thoughts stops constricting your throat and the rippling haze falls from your eyes, you find yourself facing empty space. Kibellah's body, or indeed any trace of her, is nowhere to be seen: it is as if she was never in the chapel.

Jae"I looked away for one second, and that kaskha was gone! O Exalted One, I hope You really did collect her — because if You didn't, then this ship now has a mad murderer on the loose."
