Xris took a look. "He's right. They're not moving."
"Maybe they're waiting to see what we do," Harry suggested.
Xris snorted. "That is not standard procedure. When you're guarding dignitaries and there's some type of danger, you get them the hell out of there. You don't wait around for the shooting to start."
Harry was studying his instruments. "It looks like-- Yeah, I'll be damned." "What?"
"Engine trouble. The limo won't start. They're running diagnostics on it now, but--"
"They won't find the cause," Rowan interrupted, excited. "It's the negative waves. I'm picking up the signature. The knights have turned the device on. The waves must be causing the engine to malfunction!"
"At least that limo's shielded, annor-plated. A lascannon couldn't take the king out once he's inside."
"No armor, no shields will protect him," Quong said. ''The negative waves will pass through unaffected."
"Damn !" Frustrated, Xris turned back to the screen. "The knights are in range. We're too late to save the king. But maybe we can even the score."
"We are not finished yet, my friend," Quong returned. "The signature is very, very weak. The knights haven't brought the device up to full power. But Major Rowan is correct in her assessment of the negative waves damaging the limo. As you can see here by the spectrum analysis, the microwaves--weak as they are--have been able to cause interference with the power coupling lattice of the limojet's engines
