Sunshine and Nine nodded eagerly, leaning in so close they were practically bumping heads. The anger hadn't fully vanished, but it was being replaced by a spark of hope.
"You can do what I did. Use a fake identity and invisibility to obscure your presence. Nobody needs to know that you are down here. Besides, it is not a council job, so they won't track you."
Vortan nodded. But in his mind, he thought that was not nearly enough.
"We're listening," Sunshine said, her heart hammering against her ribs. "How do we fix the sky?"
He assumed immediately that Nine would be involved. Vortan fished out a device from one of the pockets on his robes which he pressed, and it presented a holographic map of Earth. It wasn't like the grainy, flickering projections Wilbert had shown them in Salom, which looked like they were being run off an ancient radiator.
This was crisp, glowing in a deep cerulean blue, and it showed the rifts more clearly than anything Sunshine had ever seen.
