earlier, about her ship assuming she was dead; she felt a rush of gut-wrenching pain as she thought of Carter’s reaction, but she shoved it away before it could take hold of her.
    “So, this artifact. Do you know what it looks like?” Allie got to her feet and started to look at the bowels of the ship, staring into every exposed nook and cranny in case the two aliens had left something behind during their scavenge. “Or where it could be?”
    Araimeer stood and looked at Viseer, and there was a pregnant pause. “Yes,” he said finally. His tone made Allie turn toward him, and his expression was pained. “To both questions, actually.”
    Allie tugged at her ripped orange diving suit impatiently, looking from one cloaked alien to the other. “Well? What are you waiting for? Let’s get it.”
    Araimeer laughed. “Well, thanks for your spunk, Allie. It’s gonna be a little harder than just picking it up.”
    “Why?”
    Viseer went back to tinkering with the engine, and Araimeer smiled wanly. “It currently belongs to that jellyfish you met earlier.”
    Allie stared at him. I can’t believe this. I should have called in sick. “So how the hell are you going to get it back?”
    Araimeer walked over to her, and she could see the lines around his eyes in startling clarity. How long had they been without sleep? “We just need to draw it against the dome. It will stun it long enough for one of us to be able to stab through its stomach and rip out the stone—I know,” Araimeer said apologetically at the look of disgust on Allie’s face. “But it’s the only way. We can’t get it to come back, though. It won’t follow the bubbles. The stone made it into some power-hungry beast. It’s only drawn by electricity or nuclear energy, apparently.”
    Allie looked at Viseer, then back to Araimeer. He saw her train of thought immediately and answered the question before she could form it. “We could try to generate electricity, but we need to activate our electroglands.”
    Allie looked at him, mystified. “Electroglands? Glands that produce electricity? Like with the endocrine system?”
    “Yes,” Araimeer said, sounding impressed. “It’s hard to get both of our heartrates up for long enough, though. We could try fighting, but that would cause too much damage to our bodies and our surroundings. The only other thing is…”
    He suddenly stopped talking, and his blue eyes widened in regret.  “I don’t want you think I’m suggesting—I didn’t—never mind!”
    Allie watched in confusion as Araimeer walked away from her and crouched over the transporter with Viseer, who didn’t move or even acknowledge the other alien. She narrowed her eyes and stepped over the stacks of books until she was behind them, waiting until Araimeer looked up to crouch next to him and smile warmly.
    “What is it, Araimeer?”
    Araimeer shook his head. “We’re not supposed to mate with humans.” He raised his eyes to hers, and Allie shivered—there was emotion held there that he couldn’t possibly feel after knowing her for so little time.
    Allie ignored the quickening of her pulse and sat next to him on the soft soil, feeling the cool sand beneath her diving suit. “Why not?”
    “We could hurt you,” he said quietly. “Even kill you.”
    Allie heard his words, but all she could focus on was the delicious surge of adrenaline coursing through her body as she watched his strong hands work on the machine. All she could think of was what she’d said earlier that day—she wasn’t feeling challenged by the Navy anymore. She was missing the passion, the rush—the spark. Here was that spark, in spades.
    Allie put her hands on Araimeer’s shoulders, and she heard his breath hitch. “Araimeer, I’m going to die down here if you guys don’t do something. I can’t stay down here forever, and by the look of those bags under your eyes, neither can you.”
    Araimeer’s eyes bored into hers, and the silence stretched between
