"What
project?" Crow asked. "I'm not doing that shit to Green Eyes that Stillwell
tried, so you can just go back to Washington if that's the case."
"Not Green
Eyes." Karros said, he glanced at Rebecca and at the cordon of guards. "We
can't talk here."
Rebecca
nodded. "That's wise. This rooftop is bugged."
"Who is
she?" Karros asked Crow without looking at her. It was a question within a
question. Can I ignore her, and if so
make her leave. He was asking.
Crow
straightened. "This is Ms. Calvin. She is my professional assistant."
"Secretary?"
Karros said with derision, raising an eyebrow. Why are you wasting my time with a secretary? He was asking.
"Er, no."
Crow fumbled. "Bad word choice, she has a doctorate in artificial intelligence
and year of experience in the field. She is my protégé in that sense."
Karros
seemed satisfied with that and motioned them to follow. "We need you in orbit,
post haste." He began walking to the doors and Crow and Rebecca followed more
by default than desire as the troops closed around them and moved as well,
leaving them inside like a flying wedge. "Either of you ever been up in orbit?"
Both shook their
heads and Karros shrugged. "Yes well, you're famous and all that Dr. Daedalus,
I thought perhaps you had caught one of the tourist junks up to orbit at some
point. Publicity, that sort of thing."
Crow shook
his head again. "No, never had the luck. But what's this about?"
Karros let
slip a fierce smile over his shoulder. "The kind of thing that would have given
Stillwell an aneurysm if he hadn't taken a bullet instead. Something we found
on the other side of the moon."
Crow waited
for more details, but none were forthcoming, so he tried to see if he had any
bargaining chips to his name. "And what do you need me for?"
The door
opened and they began to descend the stairs in a hurry, two soldiers deploying
in front of them to scout in an ingrained gesture of paranoia. "We'll get the
elevator on the next floor, have the trucks pull up front." Karros ordered one
of the uniforms to his side in a low voice. The man moved off a short distance
and whispered the orders into the small mike embedded in his lip. Karros looked
back at Crow. "Legal troubles aside, you are the authority on artificial
intelligence. That is what we need now."
