you were looking into Horng's mind, how do you know he wasn't spying in
yours? You had an equal hookup, right?"
Rynason nodded. "I couldn't have prevented him in any case. Why? Are we
supposed to be hiding anything?"
"I told you not to trust them!" Manning snapped. "Now if you can't even
match wits with a senile horsehead...."
"You were the one who said they might be more adept at telepathy than we
are," Rynason said. "It was a chance we had to take."
"There's a difference between taking chances and handing them
information on a silver platter," Manning said angrily. "Did you make
any effort at all to keep him from finding out too much about us?"
Rynason shrugged. "I kept him pretty busy. All of the time I was running
through Tebron's memories I could feel Horng screaming somewhere; he
must have been too upset to do any probing in my mind."
Manning was silent for a moment. "Let's hope so," he said shortly. "If
they find out how weak we are, how long it would take us to get
reinforcements out here.
