“Are you an engineer, Mistress Benning?”
“No, but I have enough math sense to know those fields are increasing exponentially. We can already hear the generators struggling.”
“We have been asked to determine the field strengths as a function of position throughout the Vortex—”
“We can’t report our findings if we’re dead.”
“That includes field strengths up to and including critical level. However, in view of the danger, I recommend that we all put on our helmets and communicate via helmet–touching from this point onward. Fifty meters further in, Master Katei.”
Sora pointedly watched her instrument panel. Benj knew she was not an engineer and could not give an educated estimate of potential danger to the boat. But he also knew that her intuitive powers were far greater than his own—and p
