- The limits of the city were some
- twenty-three kilometers north of the
- Tower. Peter and the others sat in a
- semi circle around a portable holo disk
- watching the warren map grow and alter.
-
- "Scale it up," Peter said. Someone made
- an adjustment, and the Springfield
- overview, the complex layers of streets
- and corridors, plazas and RCs, the
- intense complexity of the Tower
- vicinity, all vanished, replaced by a
- smaller, more detailed section.
-
- "Where are we?" Shem asked.
-
- "We're not on this section. If any local
- nodes are monitoring map use, we don't
- want to call attention to ourselves.
- We'll start here and gradually move into
- the area of interest. That way we'll
- look like any ordinary user." Peter
- walked over to the map, his figure
- visible in backlit outline. "Move east a
- little," he said, and the view shifted
- as if they were moving slowly at low
- altitude over the warrens, which blinked
- off one at a time, until only one
- remained. "Now down, level seven." Again
- the view shifted, and with it the
- alphanumeric data hanging in the air
- nearby changed.
