DUST peppered Willâs face as they rode through the Sea of Dirt. The wagon kicked up more sand than any of the crew could have suspected, but Lennette brought some linen rags to wear as makeshift masks. Maxine sat up front with the mutant grandmother while the men crammed into the back with some tools and supplies from the ranch.
âWhat happens if we donât recruit everyone on that there list?â Gary asked in a Texan accent for some reason. âYou reckon the Game Master will let us get a pet goat?â
âIâm not sure whatâll happen,â Stryke said. He stared at his shoes as they jostled around in the cart. âItâs never gone this way before. Not as far as I know, at least.â
âWould it mean we canât play?â Maxine asked, turning back to face them. âWhat would happen to us?â
Stryke shrugged.
âMaybe we get to go home,â Will said. âMaybe we get a consolation wish; something to say, âsorry for the inconvenience.â â
âPossibly,â said the captain. âOr he might just kill us and move on to a new team.â
Everyone fell quiet for the rest of their trip.
âHere we are!â Lennette announced once they were inside the boundaries of Doonaiâs bottom tier.
She turned and threw an elbow over the back of her seat, peering at the offworlders with her big green eye.
âThank you for the ride,â Maxine said. âThere must be some way we can repay you.â
Lennette dismissed her with a wave.
âNonsense! Weâre just grateful for the visit.â
âNot everyone was,â Stryke muttered, climbing out of the cart.
âHeâll come around,â the old mutant replied. âAnd if not, youâre still welcome to visit. Iâm sure Nub would love to hear about your adventures sometime.â
She was off with a snap of her reigns. The wagon kicked up a trail of dust as Lennette steered into the Sea of Dirt.
