"The ship," Okafor said. "It's been wrong for weeks. It told us your blood would doom everyone if you stayed." Lin nodded, scared. "We were just trying to survive." I lowered my voice. "Then come with me to the bridge and let's hear it lie to our faces." After a long moment, they stepped aside and followed me.
