Enormous pipes filled with either coolant or heated gas connected the heavily shielded nuclear reactor with the massive steam-powered turbine and generator that provided virtually all of Chrysalis’s electrical power, or so the Japanese biochemist eagerly informed her. “At peak capacity, the generator produces current in excess of twenty-five thousand volts.”Roberta stifled a yawn.

She was also concerned that she hadn’t heard from Gary Seven since spotting him at the Delhi airport yesterday She had tried to contact him via her servo, both this morning and shortly before turning in last night, but he hadn’t responded to any of her hails. I hope he’s okay, she worried, remembering the arid and inhospitable desert she had crossed to reach this location.That he hadn’t responded to any of her hails was inconclusive.
