THE HOTEL WASN’T easy to reach on foot. I struggled for half a day to guide myself through the rough terrain relying only on an aerial view plucked from Michael’s head along with a million other details. Once I reached the mountain side where it had been built, I almost lost all desire to get to my destination. The ascent looked very steep. It had rained a few days before, making the ground slippery. I had to grab tree roots and branches to pull myself up and by the time I made it there, I had cuts and bruises everywhere. I’d nurse them later though, right now, I had other, more pressing issues to attend to.

After a bit of a struggle, I managed to find an entrance into the ground floor. It was dark, too dark to walk through, but I had come prepared. I lit up the small torch I’d made and started to walk around, trying to locate everything. The eastern side of the hotel was a bust, too many fallen walls and columns.

I got lucky on the western side. It looked like the reception desk had been there, along with smaller chambers, maybe a bar and some meeting rooms. I found the staircase and shed light on it. It looked safe enough, so I started descending, until the huge door to the basement stood in front of me.

It took a few tries to force it open. I used a crowbar I’d found discarded on the floor to make my way through. I hit the jackpot on the other side. What looked like a huge cellar took most of the hotel wing. Broken glass and fallen shelves would have to be cleared, but it was tall and wide enough for what I needed.

I dropped my backpack on the floor and started pulling out the things I’d brought. Old radio transmission devices, a battered laptop, still working, and some electrical cords were all stacked together inside. After a little more fumbling, I found what I had really been looking for: the hotel’s backup generator.

I laughed and allowed myself to rest. Yes, I could do it now. But first, the quick meal of sandwiches and dried fruit I’d snuck out of the house.

With my belly full, I closed my eyes, bringing up plans for a scanner blocking device in my mind’s eye. Despite what humans believed, flyers couldn’t sense the moment an engine was ignited. Nor did they instinctively know what type of engine it was, to then discover who was working on it. They used a highly sophisticated scanner, undeterred by any manmade material.

I planned to block said scanning devices and shield the area where the hotel was. It would only work for a limited amount of time. Every few months, the flyers would send out squads to check every section of the planet that was still inhabited. When that happened, I couldn’t hide what we were doing. But with the increased Freedom Alliance activity I’d planned, they might delay their scheduled scans.
