“So what have you found?” T asked. “Is there any word on Randal?”

“Nothing yet,” Sprite said, “but I’ve set up some bots, retrievers, dings, that sort of thing. If there’s anything, we should find it.”

Turtle was disappointed. “Dive deeper,” he said. “There has to be some sort of trail he’s left. He can’t have simply disappeared.”

“If there’s something out there, we’ll find it. You should see Clara; she’s all over the waves. But I don’t think she’s found anything yet either.” Sprite’s mind seemed to wander and she added, “She’s taking it harder than any of us.”
