Deep purring and rumbling reached Frank’s ears a split second later. The repeated waa-ooo of a high-to-low frequency digitized siren accompanied the rushing sound. Faint at first, the noise grew in intensity with each passing moment, soon causing the room’s machines to jingle and creek. Sava lifted up into the air to get a better view out the broken windows along the wall. Her ability to fly was seamless: something Frank was still working on. It would take time to perfect; at the moment; the best he could muster if he had to was an awkward hover.

“It looks like the city protectorate coming from the east,” Sava reported. “They’ll be here in under a minute.”

“How did they know we were here?” Raj asked, looking to Frank for direction. “Did we trigger an alarm or warning?”

“I don’t think so,” Frank said, running through his options. “We could run back through the gateway, but we came here to find answers and all we’ve done so far is pile on more questions. Sava, how’s the city aligned? I mean, are they friendly to outside races and Arilion Knights?”

“You didn’t read the reports I left for you?” Sava raised her eyebrow with a growl. “I had Yur’l leave a drive at your door to be read last night before you fell asleep.”

“Well, for argument’s sake,” Frank scratched the back of his head under Sava’s savage stare, “let’s just say I didn’t.”

The sound of the traveling vehicles outside was so loud now it was beginning to become difficult to hear each other talk. Frank could practically feel Sava’s stare.

“If you had read the report on the planet and the local populace, you would know that a large majority of the planet, including its major cities where we are now, are welcoming of visitors,” Sava repeated as if she were instructing a child. “As far as their receptiveness to the Arilion Order, your guess is as good as mine. Arilion are still only just beginning to reemerge in the universe.”

“I’ll go out and talk to them,” Frank said, making up his mind on the matter. “I’m not leaving this planet without answers. Stay here until I give you the all-clear order.”

“Be careful, Frank,” Raj said, peering out a dirt-stained window. “We’ll be here if you need us.”

“It’s going to be OK. I’m just going to speak with them.” Frank squared his shoulders and headed for the doors. “If things get bad, head for the gateway. I’ll be right behind you.”

The sounds of the vehicles coming to abrupt stops rippled through the air. The sirens were shut off now, though green and yellow lights flashed through the windows.

Frank opened a double door in front of him and walked outside with his hands in the air. A maelstrom of activity greeted his appearance. There were no less than a dozen bulky vehicles unloading armor-clad Alf from their gull wing doors. The Chesaian vehicles resembled hovercrafts: absent of wheels, each vehicle rested on rubber bumpers on the ground. Their
