WE HAD TO FIGURE OUT how to get back to Athens safely and quickly.
I preferred the train and most of us were inclined that way. But Sheydu, Evi and Telaris, with help from Thayu and Devlin, could not establish a safe route.
Sheydu said that as soon as we purchased tickets, our travel time and names would go onto a database that was searchable by police, customs and other authorities. There was no guarantee that no one we didn’t want to know would see it. I knew better than to protest that it was “just” Customs and police who had access to this data. Many of those organisations were infiltrated by the Cartel.
Normally, when the Exchange needed to find a flight, Coldi routines in the various database systems caused a slight delay in synchronisation of data. That way we could book late
