Chapter Nineteen

Gregor took the hand-control out of the slot on front of the gravity sled and pressed a button. The sled whined and began moving out of the receiving box. He turned it and moved it down the corridor and had to back up and try again multiple times. They finally arrived at the port, and Gregor raised the sled level with the open port. Elena shook her head, “Gregor, if that box was any bigger, it would not go through the port with the sled!”

Gregor delicately moved the sled through the port and the sled whined loudly as it moved out. He quickly lowered it to ground level and the whining noise reduced. “Why didn’t Gamgel use a more powerful sled?”

“It wouldn’t have made it out of the port!” Elena answered. Gregor moved the sled and said, “Computer, raise the Dragon Fly about ten-feet?”

“Why?”

“I don’t want this box out in the open. We’ll keep the ship over it to prevent it being detected tonight.”

The ship rose, and Gregor immediately lowered the gravity sled to the ground. Mackle arrived and stared at the small box. “Now that is interesting. Are you planning to move some rodents?”

“Cute!” Gregor replied. “You know the rodents on this planet are too large to fit in that box.”

“So are we!” Mackle responded.

Gregor looked at the cube on front of the box and removed it. He pushed it into a slot on the gravity sled and a hologram of Gamgel appeared, “Alright, I assume you’ve moved the sled out of the ship. Give yourself some room and point the controller at the box. Press the orange button at the bottom of the controller and step back.”

The hologram disappeared, and Gregor pointed the hand-controller at the box and pressed the orange button. He jumped back as the box exploded into motion. Elena looked at him lying on the ground, “He told you to move back!”

“Now you’re sounding like my computer.” Elena giggled and held out a hand to Gregor. She pulled him up and watched the metal box undergo gyrations, as it changed shapes at a speed difficult to follow. In a matter of minutes, a metal box was in front of them; it was an eight-foot-square-box.

The hologram appeared again and Gamgel was smiling, “Good, you’ve unfolded the box. Now this is important, Gregor. The hand-controller operates everything. I recommend you send the food-processors through first and then start sending the Filament Maker survivors. We’ll be working on getting the food processors powered while they are being moved. When the box is full, press the green button and the contents will be teleported out. You open the box by pressing the red button. It will automatically close and you’ll have to open it after each teleport. Press the blue button if you need to hear this again.”

“I’ve got it recorded, Gregor.”

“Thank you, computer.” Gregor turned to Mackle, “You should start moving your food-processors now.”

Mackle stared at Gregor and then pressed the medallion. The first food-processor was taken out of a shuttle and five-Filament Makers carried it toward the box.
