"Right now," says Isabella, "on this world, only the people in this room know the whole story. Plus the ship, it knows, but I suppose it's not a person, is it. Will you keep this secret as well as the one you've been keeping all this time? Alleluia? Caleb?"
Caleb nods.
Alleluia does, too, after a moment, and then she says, "You can call me Alleya."
"All right, Alleya," says Isabella, and then she smiles. "You know, I thought you must have hated me, to send me all the way to Gaza. I'm glad it was something else, even though the something else came as a nasty shock at first."
"No, I didn't hate you," says Alleya, shaking her head. "If I'd hated you I'd have sent you back to the Eyrie instead."
"Let me add you both to the telepathic network we have," says Isabella. "Then we can talk even when you're at Sinai and I'm somewhere else."
Caleb is again the first to nod, but his wife follows.
