LOST CITY OF LOST SOULS

“Our comms still don’t work,” Watry said, grumbling. “The power needed to jam such a wide area means they’ve got to be using something a lot bigger than a portable unit.”

“Those bastards must have a whole base nearby,” Tomi agreed.

Between the pirate hardware they had already seen and now the strength of these electronic countermeasures, they must have one serious operation here on Yardang. Tomi, Watry, and Seeker looked at the map. Several possibilities presented themselves, but Isabelle was the one to offer the best one.

Stepping forward and peering over their shoulders, she pointed to a spot on the map. “What does that symbol mean?” she asked. “The one next to where we are.”

“That is the site of some ancient ruins that Teacher, my superior, is investigating,” Seeker stated.

Everyone perked up and Tomi asked, “Then why don’t we go there? I’m sure they’d have supplies and a way for us to contact the Bass Reeves.”

“Mmm…” Seeker looked down at his feet and shook his head. “Teacher and I do not get along. She would be rather upset if I returned so soon,” he answered.

“Seeker, this is an emergency situation. I would hope she’d understand why you came back,” Watry exclaimed.

Seeker shook his head even more intently this time. “Oh, no! If I return with four humans, Teacher would definitely be livid—”

This time, all of the humans shouted in unison, “Seeker!”

Outnumbered, the Anar-phut relented and started leading the way to the Lost City.
