"I've got it!" the Ghost announces happily, and it, Blaze, Jesse and an armload of blankets vanish from the Nexus in a flash of white light.
The howling wind falls silent; the bitter chill vanishes from the air. They're in the small cabin space of a jumpship, lights springing on around them. The air's still fairly cool: both occupants being machines, Blaze habitually keeps the life support on minimal settings. But this time, Blaze sets her passenger down for a moment to turn up the temperature regulator.
"If we can thaw him out gently, I think he'll be all right..."
"He will be." Blaze says it with a fierce kind of certainty. "He's a good man, and a good friend. I'm not losing him to some freak precipitation. He'll be fine. We'll get Harrowheart if we have to." The Ghost gives her a startled look, but she just settles down beside Jesse at the back of the cabin, one arm around him, grabbing a blanket with the other to towel him off carefully.
THE FINAL FRONTIER!
