In the library, his wife, daughter-in-law, and the captain could be seen standing on the other side of the transport cubical in a deep discussion about something as Al walked around.

“How’s it going?” he asked.

The two women jumped, so involved in their discussion they had not heard him enter.

“What did I tell you about sneaking up on people?” a startled Elizabeth asked.

“Sorry…but as I keep telling you, I was not sneaking. I just don’t make a lot of noise.”

She retorted, “You should try to make more noise.”

Al winked at his daughter-in-law and replied, “Yes dear.”

“Don’t get smart with me Mister Clark.”

“Just kidding. What has you girls so wrapped up you didn’t hear me.”

“We are trying to figure out why this is here.” She pointed to a ten-foot circular outline etched into the floor.

“Maybe it’s the outline of something that used to be there,” suggested Al.

Liz explained, “We just thought it strange. Everything here seems to serve a purpose.”

The captain volunteered, “It could be an access panel to something.”

Liz thought for a second, and said, “Well if it is, there doesn’t seem to be any way to open it.”

“Is it hollow?” asked Al.

“That’s how we noticed it,” Tammy said. She backed up and then walked over the outline. The rest of the floor sounded different; if only a little. “We were in a bit of a hurry when we walked over it the first time. The difference in sound is more noticeable with two people moving quickly.”

While they stood there thinking, Doctor Cody called and said he needed to get back to the Excalibur. Tiro had given him a solution to what was sickening his colonists.

“Okay folks,” declared the captain. “Pack it up—time to go. We’ll have to ask Tiro about this later.”

They left the two officers at the top of Overlook Mountain to their surveillance, Edward and Chris to their fabrications, and hurried back to the medical center of Excalibur.
