"Where's the chancellor?" Reid glances around.
"That's another problem..."
"He's in the prison," Sampson says with an even tone. "He was interrogating Perio."
"No one can get to him," Queen Ravan appears behind Sampson. She wears her usual impassive face, but a twinge of fear and despair creep from the corners of her slanted eyes and down turned mouth. "I will not allow anyone to risk that plague. Besides," she exhales, defeated, "they will die by the time they reach him."
"But it only affects Mybyncians," I say.
"Yes, fortunate for you."
"No," I sigh, ignoring her tone. "I'm saying we could get him - Chancellor Keller."
"He will die by the time you bring him back."
"Not if we put him in a suit."
"That is if he is still alive."
"Isn't it worth checking?"
"And how do you expect to get into the prison?"
"I went yesterday with the princess. I'm sure I can find my way through again."
