## Adversary

As usual a lot happens in *Adversary*. There is a continuous thread centered around "children" in this book.

Between Keith and runs, they are too busy to think about the upcoming interview with both Joint Hive Treaty Enforcement and Hive Genex's Adversary Aura that Amber will have.

### New Years Festival

Amber is at her parent's local park celebrating the coming of the New Year with her family and some of the people from her unit that had no where else to go.

Soon after the New Year of 2533 passes them, a teen from her old corridor group, Reece shows up looking for her. She reacts fearfully which puts all of her body guards on alert. Reece has come begging for her help with a problem in the area that he is working in. Forge subdues him and Lucas arranges for a Nosy squad to join them in a near by corridor so that the Nosy (Amber really) can read Reece's mind and they can be assured that he is telling the truth. Amber confirms that his story is true and Lucas is concerned that there is problems happening in the same area that Amber is spending the New Years, so takes Reece's concerns seriously. After he assigns the case to Beckett they return to celebrating, but Beckett soon calls them with the news that the situation could be very serious. Lucas decides that they need to go and investigate as the only other unit available is Keith's and they don't want Keith anywhere near them. Amber and Lucas takes a seriously scaled down strike force and has an emergency Hazards team meet them, to investigate if the problems are caused by a wild bee or an potential environmental problem.

They discover an illegal Groupette room, but since it is located near an Overnight Club, Lucas is hesitant about any of them reviewing the contents so decides to leave it alone until Media Monitoring Division can review the contents of the holos. Lucas has surveillance cameras installed around the area with signs saying that the area was going to have maintenance done on it.

While Amber is waiting in the elevator, Dex, who had joined them for the New Year festival and was on the run with them as one of Amber's regular bodyguards, realized from an earlier conversation that Amber was probably Claire's great-granddaughter and asks her about it. Amber wasn't really ready to talk about it but realized that it was very important to Dex, so she confirmed that yes she was Claire's great-granddaughter. Dex asks her if it is ok to tell the others from Claire's old unit, Amber thinking he just meant the other six that were in her unit, said yes and realized that she was going to have to tell her entire unit.

#### Hive Politics

Before they go on the check run, Gold Commander Melisande calls them and tells them that Hive Politics has called a meeting for after their return from the festival and that Amber and Lucas are invited. She discourages them from attending but Amber is firm that they will attend.

The next day Elliott calls Amber and Lucas and tells them that Joint Hive Treaty Enforcement and Hive Genex representatives have arrived early and so he is moving the meeting that was scheduled for after the festival to the next day.

#### Circle of Life Service

Amber and Lucas walk the steps of life during the Circle of Life Service. While walking the relationship steps, Amber discovers that Dex had told all of Claire's old unit and they were in the audience on the other side of the circle from where her parents and the other were. She could feel a huge out pouring of emotions from them whenever she had walked that area.

#### Keith

While Amber is attending the Circle of Life Service, Keith calls her on her dataview, which isn't something she thought could happen. She doesn't answer it right away since she is surrounded by people, but when Keith keeps on calling her she finally makes an excuse of a headache to find somewhere where she can be alone. When he does call again she answers it and he tells her that it is bad manners to not answer when a telepath calls her. Amber snaps back at him that it is bad manners to call when she was attending a Circle of Life service, but Keith dismisses it as unimportant. He then tells Amber that he read Megan's mind and knows all of her fears and threatens her if she doesn't help him get Olivia in his unit. Amber is very upset over this and very angry at Megan.
