Chapter 21: Just Data
The old soldier looked at the stump of his wrist and said, "Well. That's new."
Then the white reached his elbow.
"Sera," Wes said.
"I know how to stop it." She was breathing fast inside his skull. "Locke runs the wipe from his admin keys. He's the root of it. Break his keys and the reset has nobody to run it."
"How?"
"The glaive. I wrote it as a debugging tool, the night I built the temple. Anything it touches loses its commands." A short, unsteady laugh. "I called it the Quiet Glaive because it quiets things. I never thought I'd use it on him."
Wes looked across the road.
Gareth Locke stood in the open with both hands lifted, and white script ran off his fingers into the ground.
Eighteen moderators stood between them.
"I can't get through eighteen," Wes said.
"You don't have to," Tamsin said at his shoulder. She was grinning with blood on her teeth. "You have a thief."
She darted away before he could answer.
She ran low and fast along the ditch, past Gravel's wings, past the knot of players fighting at the gate, and slid under a moderator's blade on her knees.
Wes lost her in the white.
Then he saw her come up behind Locke, small and quick, with her fingers inside his robe.
She came away with a flat white key the length of her hand.
"Wren!" she shouted, and threw it.
It turned over once in the air.
Wes caught it in his left fist, and the glaive was in his right, and the moderators were on him.
