 Mysteriously, the Shrike, Dem Loa (Ces Ambre's mother), and "Petyr, son of Aenea and Endymion" appear on the bridge.Petyr briefly communes directly with the AIs, healing Basho's psychological conflicts, and directing them to divert the "Helix" to a nice, but challenging system.He and Dem Loa then vanish, apparently using the Shrike as a method of locomotion.
