She had big plans and they all started with that Titan ship lying out there in the bitter cold. She shifted a little around her arm, trying to take care not to disturb the monk. She failed. Whether real or imagined, he took affront at her movement and chirped indignantly at her. With all the offended pomp of a master artist, he packed up his things. He showed his annoyance as he wrapped her bleeding tattoos by being thorough without being gentle. He was finished for the day. Jaine didn’t apologize. She was glad to be done for the day. She nodded coldly to him as he turned away in a huff, folding himself into the furthest corner of the cramped space. Jaine stood, stretching out both arms until they were almost touching the sides of the ascetic's tiny tent as she worked out her cramped muscles.

Wrapping her heavy cloak around her, she winced as the sleeves slid over the fresh bandages on her right arm where the tattooist's needle had done its work. After she gingerly worked her arm in, she slid her gleaming left hand into a heavy glove and then stepped out into the snow.

The sky was aflame with fiery lights in the North. Jaine had only seen them for the first time a week ago, and she couldn't help but to stand transfixed before their glory as they snaked and twisted across the sky in a mute symphony of green, blue, and violet. Clouds began to roll in, but she remained lost in wonder as they began to obscure the fiery display. It was only the sharp pain in her left hand that brought her back to reality.

Dropping her eyes reluctantly from the fading glory in the heavens, she trudged across to her tent, grimacing at the icy cold that felt like it was in her bones. The clockwork in her hand was directly tied into nerve, bone, muscle, and tendon – and when it got cold, there was no layer of skin to protect her from feeling its effects directly. When she arrived, she took a moment to warm herself before she crossed into the chamber behind her living quarters.

She sighed with satisfaction. It was still hard to believe that she'd found the thing that the room contained. It was one of the drones that had been with the ship that Lian had flown. She had to believe that it had something to do with Wynter – and she had moved heaven and earth to get it here, when she had learned that the Order's agents had brought it to ground.

The fingers of Jaine's left hand traced smooth lines across the drone's shell. She delighted in the low, silky rasp of metal on metal, punctuated by the soft tap that her fingers made when they passed over micro craters. She could feel the aura of the emptiness of space in every scar and it was awe inspiring to her. This drone was far older than anything around her, even the castles, but it felt to her as though it could be newly born of man's best and brightest minds. She marveled anew at what the Plague had taken from mankind.

She already knew that she couldn't open it - she knew that it wasn't even for her that it had returned - but she loved it nevertheless, for within this lithe metallic body was the key to Lian's cooperation. Sometimes all the pieces just fall into place, she thought with satisfaction. This drone had been a nightmare to transport, but she'd managed to get it here before Lian's advent.

He was due to arrive in one hour.

The last time that Jaine had seen him, he'd been standing amidst a ruined castle looking to the sky after his Wynter. Jaine didn't know why she had been spirited away, but she had to assume that whoever owned that ship that Lian had used to destroy Damon’s castle wanted it back. Perhaps Wynter had been caught in the crossfire inadvertently, or perhaps they'd taken her out of spite in return for Lian's hijacking of their ship. Either way, it was obvious to her that he'd found a ship that wasn't his and had used it against the will of whatever entity was in control of that ship. Based on the scars from this drone, she had to guess that it was an interplanetary vessel - and the fact that she could touch such a relic sent shivers of excitement through her to her core.
