He couldn't help a bit of a smirk. "Yeah...Yin said it was like a constellation--the network. The name just sort of stuck. I suppose it fits. Now Azure wants to name all of the points after stars." Hei decided not to mention that he liked the idea, corny though it was.

He held out his hand. "We're meeting them in a small park near my apartment. Neutral ground, and it'll be empty this time of night. Shall we?"
