CHAPTER SEVEN

Riona and his men returned to their ship to find out the storm had temporarily disabled the computer systems. Lieutenant Zaroz accompanied him as they entered the craft. Riona sat down at his command chair, disgusted, and defeated. “Where is that human?” he snapped. “I can’t even register his thought patterns!”

“Perhaps he escaped with Zarcon?” Zaroz suggested.

“Impossible,” Riona sneered. “I could sense him when we landed.”

“Perhaps you are wrong?”

“Wrong!” Riona yelled. “I’m never wrong about my powers.”

“Sorry, Sir,” Zaroz answered in a solemn tone, knowing how determined he could be.

“No, he’s still here,” the humanoid hissed. “But something is blocking my abilities, perhaps it’s the storm. Did you get any readings of intelligent life here, Sergeant?”

“No Sir,” the sergeant, who was also a Belorion, answered. “The sensors indicated only insignificant plant and animal life before they went out.”

“Could an intelligent life form be causing this negative interference?” Riona asked.

“It’s possible,” their chief science officer said, a human with black hair, a rather wiry build and five feet tall. “But it would need a tremendous amount of energy to do so. Almost as much as a wormhole generator.”

“Lieutenant, I want you to find a way of getting the engines back on. Sergeant, bring some men and come with me. We’re going to investigate this. We’ll head towards the caverns we spotted.”

The tidal surge of the approaching storm began to engulf the island’s beaches. They ventured as quickly as possible in the direction Riona had sensed the human earlier. It was only a matter of hours before the low land would be underwater, and their spaceship would sink in the mud. Riona told them he wanted the doomsday weapon, which was being stored in the ship’s cargo bay, to be saved at any cost, even their own lives. While the storm ripped apart sections of trees that lay in front of them, his men began to panic.

“Relax,” he told them. “It’s just a storm! Stay in formation!”

He started to wonder if Walker evaded him somehow; perhaps leaving the planet before the storm. That seemed unlikely to the humanoid because his controls would be affected the same way any other ship would, unless they worked on some other technology he was unaware of. He knew the ship they stole was Tolarion, and more primitive than his, and the storm was too powerful for a ship to maneuver in. Sure this human was an excellent pilot and extremely clever, but he couldn’t escape without help; the orbiting ships would still detect them and do something to stop him. Their photon laser banks were inoperative, but the Republic’s ships also possessed photon missiles that worked on a manual jettison device.

They came upon the huge complex that lay in the canyon over the waterfall. After two hours of fighting their way through the thickness of the wet jungle and driving winds, Riona and his men climbed their way up to where the bridge was, and came upon the entrance which was completely sealed. He turned towards the science officer, and grabbed him tight around the collar in angst.
