The yellow lights of the power station glinted dimly in the drizzle that fell from the darkening sky. ‘Too many people at the front gate, there’s no easy way in there,’ Simon said, looking up from the clump of low bushes where he and Danice were hiding. He’d managed to calm himself down, and felt back in control. ‘We’d better find some other way in,’ Danice said. ‘Our second objective is to find out if this is the source of the power for the Chieftain’s time-travel system.’ Simon nodded. He left their cover and crawled along a deep drainage ditch. Danice followed. Once they were out of sight of the gate they clambered up the bank and skirted along the base of the razor-wire fence that surrounded the station. Danice looked up at the fence. ‘It’s about five metres high,’ she said. ‘Another job for our springers.’ ‘And the ground’s pretty hard here,’ Simon said, ‘so let’s fly.’ Retreating a few metres, they activated their wrist pilots and, on Simon’s command, leapt forward, bouncing and soaring over the fence.
