  Dom had his gaze fixed on the landscape beneath, scanning the woods for trees that didn't belong there. "What, she strafed armored columns?"
  Marcus watched from the other door. It was oddly quiet without Baird and Cole. Even Mitchell, manning the door gun, hadn't said much that morning.
  Dom recalled doing much the same with his kids, Bennie and Sylvie. His breath jammed in his throat for a second. "What keeps you cheerful, Lieutenant?"
  There was a sudden silence, or at least the radio conversation stalled. It was turning into one of those accidentally serious conversations that Dom tried to avoid in case he found himself talking about Maria or the kids and making everyone squirm. He caught himself thinking about them a lot less now. He wasn't sure if that meant he was successfully shutting out the pain, or just coming to terms with his loss.
  This was the point at which Baird would have bitched about crackpot pseudo-science and popped the bubble of a promising discussion. Dom glanced across the crew cabin and caught Marcus's eye. For a moment, he seemed distracted from the job in hand and looked as if he was listening intently for the next tip. Everybody wanted to know how to make the pain go away, even Marcus.

conversations.value: Stefan finally looked away from his friend's body, tears streaming down his face. "I'll take him back to his wife. But we carry on, or else it's all for nothing."
  Cole walked up and gave Stefan a crushing hug, because Cole could do that kind of thing as easily as breathing. But Baird had no idea what to say. He longed for that same effortless way with people in trouble. No, he wasn't a people person; he made damn sure he kept his distance from almost everyone. But he felt terrible about Eugen, and even worse watching the man's buddies go back to the derricks in tears to carry on working because a bunch of strangers—a bunch of old enemies—needed them to.
  As he waited for the Raven, he tried to remember when he'd last used the word Indies. Whenever it was, he knew he'd never use it again.
  Alex Brand sat down on a stile and watched Mac sniffing around in the grass, evidently unimpressed by his detective skills.
  Bernie stopped to inhale. On the other side of the pasture, Sam and Anya were kicking around in the grass, eyes down. At least those two seemed to be getting on well.

conversations.value: Ollivar looked at Michaelson as if he was nuts. He wasn't putting it on, either. "I'm not sure we're on the same page."
  Ollivar started laughing, that embarrassed, surprised kind of laugh that said he'd played this all wrong. "Damn, you think we kidnapped him? Kidnapped Prescott?"
  Dom hoped Ollivar couldn't gauge the expressions of the squad watching him. He avoided meeting anyone else's eye because the let-down was crushing. Okay, everyone was busy just trying to survive, but now that the specter of Prescott had been raised again, getting answers seemed urgent.
  Dom finally got it. Ollivar had heard the COG had broken up. Now he saw the fleet as a rival pirate force with a new set of agendas, and he wanted to get things on a business footing rather than shoot it out with a bunch of warships.
  Ollivar still looked a bit bemused as he did the long, scary climb back down the side of the carrier and dropped onto the deck of his gin palace. It roared away in a spray of white foam and Michaelson let out a long sigh.
