We'll sleep up there tonight."The wolf had been sitting on his haunches. Standing suddenly, he looked at the man, then back up the tree before taking ...a step back. Returning his gaze to his master, Lobo tilted his head to the side and whined."Me too. Heights scare the shit out of me, but you've seen me go up there and I didn't get hurt. I'll make sure you don't get hurt, either. All you have to do is relax and let me do the work."While he was talking to the wolf, Morales had taken the fish seine.

It’s a whole different exercise to find a hidden terminus with coordinates alone. Even you Genevans couldn’t find the Sol wormhole again.”“Yes, that’s true,” Adam conceded. “Our next trick, then, is to decipher that coordinate system.
