Beyond the control room’s vast bulletproof observation window, the brilliant starfield abruptly went black.
Night had not fallen. An endless wall of black flesh had parked itself directly in front of the warship.
Then tens of thousands of colored warning lights flashed on. Every color of the rainbow flooded the control room, like the opening night of a spectacularly tacky roadside attraction.
Huff!
Two magnificent peacock plumes glowing with nine colors stuck out of enormous, black-hole nostrils. Dark matter gusts sent them sweeping back and forth across the window like gigantic rainbow windshield wipers.
“Hello!
“Little bird’s mama! We’re back!”
Tobin’s innocent, cheerful voice boomed straight through the hull and into the room. The drinking-water system erupted in a fountain more than six feet high.
“Chirp, chirp!
“Ee-yah!”
A fluffy black ball tumbled down Tobin’s enormous forehead and slammed into the warship’s window. The bird flattened against it in a perfect little circle.
The younger cub scrabbled at the glass. Seven dazzling tail plumes stuck up from his rear, making him look like a gaudy barnyard chicken fresh off a fashion runway.
The moment he saw Emma, his obsidian eyes flared gold. “Chirp, chirp!”
Emma’s eyelid twitched wildly. Before she could reach the hatch controls, the younger cub hooked a small wing into the void with practiced ease.
Pop!
He tore an opening in space as easily as ripping an old rag.
A heartbeat later, the chubby bird and his seven spectacular peacock plumes landed squarely on Emma’s face.
“Oof!”

The younger cub kicked his short black legs against her and burrowed desperately toward her chest.
Emma peeled him off and held him up. Her mouth twitched as she surveyed the seven plumes jutting from his rear.
She examined him carefully from head to tail. Only after making sure he had not suffered a single injury did she speak.
“Tell me something. If I hand this little brat over to the Chief Elder, can I claim I’m doing ny civic duty
“Can I collect the 80 billion star coins?”
Calum went silent.
So did Kieran.
“Emma, stay calm!”
Kieran hurried over. “He’s just a baby. He doesn’t understand any of this.
“And yes, I think they’d definitely pay us if we took him to the Chief Elder.”
Calum quickly added, “Absolutely. And the Chief Elder ordered me to arrest him. I’ll bring him in with
you.
“Then we can collect a bonus too.”
The younger cub looked between his mama and his two daddies, unable to understand their conversation.
Judging by their faces, though, it did not seem to be anything good.
“Chirp?”
He tilted his little head, blinked his enormous, long-lashed eyes, and chirped with perfect innocence.
What were Mama and his two daddies talking about?
Wasn’t Mama happy he was back?
Kieran’s mouth twitched at the sight.
“You know, he looks exactly like Lucien did back when he was Coalball.”
Kieran had never seen Lucien in that form in person, but he had seen the pictures on Corvin’s lightcore.
Before Emma could answer, a heavy thud sounded outside the window.
The entire warship jolted.
Tobi’s enormous black-hole head, several times bigger than the ship, was trying to squeeze through the rifi the younger cub had opened.

“Oh no. I’m stuck! I’m stuck!”
Emma stared.
Calum stared.
Kieran stared.
“Little bird, help me!”
Tobin looked at the cub in Emma’s hand.
The younger cub immediately raised a small foot and swiped.
Tobin had not even made it inside before its massive body burst the warship apart.
BANG!
The ship shattered. Calum and Kieran instantly shielded Emma and the baby and brought them to safety.
Fortunately, nobody else was aboard. Otherwise, they would have been in real danger.
“Huh?”
Tobin stared blankly at the ship it had just burst open.
