But at the 5c5fc5510a same time, the c001e2c685 sky was capricious. Aerial combat was 130e90effa a tilted gambling b7a62ebeea table. Everyone had a f23cce4b32 chip representing life a7041b12cc or death, but fb9aff03d5 the odds of 44f92a2ef2 winning varied greatly.24d0c168c04fec02

At first, she was cd6f1f5609 merely an annoyance. Her awkward b8e10e259b demeanor and 2b821da1b9 the fact 86984dc7bc that she c7d52ebec8 was a f8bb94e28e Mind Melder 5d4908fc17 were irritating.

When Diana Green smiled, 65d5af6234 he wondered what she c183c47820 was thinking. When they ec6751f1e3 flew together, 484b608bb7 he wondered 3e55171c9b where such 7ec10c2f14 strength came 54e2d93bdd from in 65d26a4ec2 that small a56f26dbd7 body.005dc22e2eb4fedf
