Chapter Two - Part 1


Derek, Rose and Willy stayed in their double-lined tent. They were not Seers and might not survive the close proximity to the fields, even with the tent's protection. Their departure from the labs was hesitant, they did not want to leave, but when they heard the bursts of gunfire just after they left, they were grateful for their decisions. Now they manned the monitoring equipment that was wired to the testing devices set nearer the perimeter of the fields.

Over the years they had cultured a high level of trust for the Seer’s they worked with and Vernile who, as a prospector was the only miner to deliver samples to their lab.

Savanah pleaded with her five researchers to run, suspecting the deadly outcome of her findings. These three survived and Savanah was hoping that the other two escaped, though according to the report from Rose she didn't think that was likely.

Vernile stood atop the bright metallic red insidium crag holding two threaded tubes made from inert insidium that was harvested from the planet's outer rings. These he held one end of each against the crag, the other ends pointed toward the sun.

Savanah was trying to place support under these to hold them in place, so that Vernile could join Ed and her on the grass at the bottom to aim the collector dishes at the tubes. These inert insidium dishes would in turn, would send readings to the tent, powered by the radiation generated by the expected exchange.

All of this, she hoped would change life for everyone but especially for the Seers on Necter Rapstren with her as their leader.
