said Rigg. Umbo was not surprised. Rigg might talk about how he was tired of being in charge, but he would never stop thinking that everything was his business. But Rigg was right, too. Whatever Vadesh had in mind, Loaf should not go alone with him into the mountain, into the starship. Only it wasn’t Rigg who should go with him, it was Umbo, who had been Loaf’s companion during all the time that Rigg was in captivity. “I’ll do it,” said Umbo. “Not you.” Rigg looked at him steadily. “Someone should stay outside, so that whatever happens in there doesn’t happen to everybody.” “Then you stay outside,” said Umbo. “I’m happy to stay outside,” said Olivenko. “I can wait for Param Sissaminka and explain what’s happening.” “Good idea,” said Umbo. “Except that first somebody needs to explain to me what’s happening,” said Olivenko. “Umbo and I are going into the starship with Loaf and Vadesh,” said Rigg. “For once can’t I do something without children tagging along?”
