Silver turned around in place several times before stopping… I wonder if she’s dizzy or if there was something of note…
Clara aligned herself to face that direction. At first there was nothing, but there came a flash. As though it was a bolt of lightning, Clara began to count.

The silence was deafening.
Three…
There came another flash. Clara started counting down from one again and on the count of three the flash returned.
“Like a beacon?” Clara said.
“Very good, Clara,” Silver said. “What else did you notice?”
