I once read a short story with a similar plot and would like to know which anthology. Please respond by mail and I will post the answer. A survey ship is approaching a black hole accompanied by a telepathic girl and (outside the ship) an energy being they all refer to as "Lucifer". Lucifer and the girl (Evangeline?) 'talk' a lot; he is almost her only companion. As they approach the black hole, Lucifer darts over to investigate and is trapped by the gravitational pull. The story jumps to some years later and to a Lunar convent where the girl is now a novice?. Every year she says a prayer for Lucifer... whom she can still hear falling forever into Hell. The name of the story is I believe *Kyrie*; I do not remember the author. Please help! All leads cheerfully accepted. Emily Brooks {...ihnp4!}akgua!edb
