Kirth is left alone in engineering, where he finds a bank of monitors and controls surrounding a zero-g harness. Things seem to be running fairly well, although there are a few monitors just above red that suggest systems being pushed to their limit.The telepaths arrive at the bridge just in time for the jump to hyperspace. It feels like there ought to be some kind of physical sensation; a lurch or the feel of falling, but the transition into hyperspace happens without any such things, merely a change outside the small viewports from the blue of Fendamir VI to the angry red of hyperspace.Those on the bridge experience a sudden ruch of excitement and homesickness, inexplicably strong until you remember the two little Ensorrians strapped side by side, still holding hands.The Markab liner is still right on top of the Fortune. Sarhat is right in that combat in hyperspace tends to result in disaster. The ship's only weapon, a chin-mounted particle gun turret that is slightly more powerful than the one on the Fortune, will function in hyperspace, but issues with sensors and moving away from the beacon means that a prolonged fight could be dangerous.</blockquote>
