"They were not listed," Heymon responded. He watched ascreen with cross-hairs on it for a few seconds. "Yes, theyhave shut down their drive, they are not decelerating. In a daythey will be a quarter million miles ahead of us. In a weekthey could maneuver themselves in front of us.""If it is the Pink Dawn.""Yes.""But," Kelvin said, "the Pink Dawn could not host thatcherub.""The Curitiba has more boost than we do, it would takelonger to perform this maneuver, but they can still do that. Itcannot perform a turn-over quick enough to fry us. For thePink Dawn it is trivial.""I say it is the Curitiba, because something had to hostthat cherub.""That's a big chance if it is the Pink Dawn and she intendsus harm.""If it is, what can I do?" Kelvin asked."Shut down our drive too, do not let them get in front ofus. We can also vector off from them, but if they are PinkDawn, they can vector a hundred times faster than we canbecause we're eighty five thousand miles long and they'reonly three thousand feet.""We'll miss Sol," Kelvin said."We'll miss it sooner if we get in their drivewash.""Point," he admitted. "But that cherub is damn near proofit's Curitiba."272
