CHAPTER FOUR

‘This place is just a mass of dark blue vines, roots, giant plants and jungle,’ said Grace. ‘But it’s not supposed to look like this.’

‘You’re right,’ said Addie. ‘The plant life forms should all be brighter and lighter. And the air is thick with a green kind of smoke.’

The girls took out their goggle remotes and set them to smoke screen.

‘Now that I can see properly this place looks sick,’ said Addie. ‘And I think I know why. Look at that!’

She pointed to big green clouds of smoke that were billowing up into the sky above the treetops. ‘We need to find out what that is.’

‘And to get there we have to go through that thick blue jungle,’ said Grace. She began walking and Addie followed.

At first it wasn’t hard to walk through but the jungle soon became thicker and thicker.

‘Why did you say you don’t trust me?’ asked Addie.

‘Valentina said you left her on the ice when she fell on the mission with you at Polare,’ said Grace. ‘And she lost points because of what you did with your tracking chip. She’s not the top-scoring space cadet now because of you. I don’t want to get a bad score, that’s why I can’t afford to trust you.’

‘I did not leave her on the ice,’ said Addie, horrified. ‘Why would Valentina make up a story like that?’

‘It’s you who says it’s a story,’ said Grace.

Addie was about to say something about the tracking chip but Grace stopped her. ‘Shhhh! Listen. What’s that noise?’
