"Most of the Redliners appear to be there," Tina answered, stiffly. "Jonas is
outside."
She picked up a data pad, turned it to make sure it had an open port, and then
eyed the collection of Gears that filled the hangar. Quiet and dark, the Gears
looked like statues, or maybe like armor, emptied of their knights, the rumble
of ancient battles still vibrating somewhere deep in their metal.
"You are not at the party," Tina finally said, turning back to Juliette, as if
she were suddenly reminded that the pilot was standing there. "You dislike
their idea of recreation?"
