ats that line theyre sending over here?"
"A communication device," said Primo. "I believe. "
"You dont know?"
"Its similar to devices Ive seen, but I cant be sure. "
"In any case, theyll be tethered to us. I dont like that," said Shrike.
"Whats up, Spyder?" came a voice. He turned to see Lulu coming from the cabin.
"The neighbors want to borrow a cup of sugar. "
"Holy shit," Lulu said, coming up behind him. "Are we happy about this?"
"I dont think we have any choice," said Shrike. "Spyder, not that I want you doing anything crazy, but would you go into the cabin and get that demon blade that Madame Cinders gave us?"
"Apollyons knife?"
Shrike nodded. "Its wrapped in a silk scarf. If anything comes off that ship, I want to know we can kill it. "
"We going Texas Chainsaw on the other blimp, too?" asked Lulu. She pointed off to starboard.
"Spyder…??" said Shrike.
"Another ships coming out of the clouds," he said. "A burning heart wrapped in thorns. It looks like a Christian sacred heart. "
"Its the Seraphic Brotherhood," said Primo, "pledged to the archangel Michael. Theyre warrior priests. "
"Are they approaching us?" asked Shrike.
"No," said Spyder. "Theyre just hanging parallel a mile or two away. "
"Theres others out there, too," said Lulu.
"Shes right. I can see a half dozen other ships, but theyre mostly just dots. "
"Get the blade, Spyder," Shrike said.
He ducked back below deck and Lulu followed him.
