A good man with a barbeque, the XO, Morris remembered. How many weekends had he spent in their backyard watching steaks sizzle over the charcoal? What would he tell her now?

Diane Hayden: What's it look like from here?

US Marine Corps 1LT Vanessa Damphousse: Madam Ambassador?

Diane Hayden: The Earth.

US Marine Corps 1LT Vanessa Damphousse: It's like a masterpiece painting. Deep blues, aquas, white clouds.

Diane Hayden: I was born blind - six months before they discovered the gene transfer cure. With the help of the opti-scanner I can sense things... but how do you describe it to someone who has never seen it?

"Good morning, Ed." Commander, Naval Surface Forces, U.S. Atlantic Fleet was seated behind a desk covered with dispatches that seemed to be organized into piles. Morning - half an hour after midnight. Morris hadn't left Norfolk since arriving at dawn on the previous day. If he went home, he'd have to sleep again ...

"Morning, sir. What can I do for you?" Morris didn't want to sit down.

"You want to go back out?" COMNAVSURFLANT asked bluntly.

USS REUBEN JAMES

"Drop now-now-now!" O'Malley yelled. The eight sonobuoy ejected from the side of the Seahawk, and the pilot brought the helicopter around and headed back east.

O'Malley had already been up for three long, grueling hours this time, with precious little to show for it. Stop, dip, listen; stop, dip, listen. He knew there was a sub down there, but every time he thought he was beginning to get a line on it, the damn thing slipped away! What was it doing different?

Hatchet was having the same problem, except its sub had turned around on it and nearly scored a hit on Battleaxe. The frigate's violent wake turbulence had detonated the Russian torpedo astern, but it had been close, too close by half. He brought the helicopter into hover.

"Down dome!" They hovered for a minute. Nothing. It began again. "Romeo, this is Hammer. You got anything, over?"

"Hammer, he just faded out a moment ago. Our last bearing was three-four-one."

"Cute. This character's listening for you to stop your sprint, and he cuts his power back."

"That's a fair guess, Hammer," Morris said.
