The day at the fjords with Martin and the Tyrians was a fantastic diversion—so much so, that Isa forgot to mention to the Tyrians that she was going to see Tony that evening.

He was scheduled to arrive on the daily flight from Carthage after agreeing to talk further with her about about Tyre’s attractions. It was coming in late, so Martin had returned to the hotel to relax while Isa waited at the spaceport.

She could have created a holo that would make it look like she and the planetary engineer were at an exciting location for the interview, and it would have looked entirely authentic, but that felt like she’d be cheating the viewers. Besides, she knew that actually being on Tyre would spark a natural enthusiasm in Tony’s expression and tone that she’d want to capture. He hadn’t minded at all when she’d made the request, only saying that he was glad of the excuse to visit his favorite planet.

While she awaited his arrival at Ushu’s air and spaceport, she considered possible locations where they could record the interview. Perhaps they could go to the peak of one of the lower mountains, or somewhere even more spectacular. Her only problem was that there were so many places to choose from.

Should I take him to the fjords?

Despite her reservations about Samuel, Rahmin, and Ada, the day had been magical. Compared to the solid, artificial structure of the air and spaceport, her memory of the fjords seemed almost unreal. But then again, so had the chute at Mount Athos, the golden cavern, the crystal caves, and everywhere else she’d been. It was like living in a fairy tale.

She spotted the curly-haired engineer coming out of arrivals, and caught his attention with a wave.

“I appreciate you coming all this way,” she said when Tony had walked over to her.

“No problem,” he replied. “I was due to pay a visit in a couple of weeks. I just brought my plans forward. How have you been getting along? You look as though you’re enjoying your stay.”

“Do I?” Isa asked. “I guess it must show. I think Tyre is amazing, and I’m dying to tell everyone about it.”

“I’m glad to hear that. While it might be nice for Tyrians to have this place all to themselves, it isn’t really fair to keep the secret from the other New Canaanites.”

“That’s right,” Isa replied. “There’s plenty here for everyone. By the way, I met your friend Samuel. He’s been showing me around, along with some of his friends.”

“Excuse me?”

“Samuel. And he introduced me to two more Tyrians, Ada and Rahmin.” When Tony continued to look blank, Isa said, “You probably heard about my cave rescue?”

“I did, but I also heard that you were okay. I was glad nothing serious happened.”

“Thanks. The only damage was to my pride,” said Isa ruefully. “Anyway, a man named Samuel came up to me as I was leaving the hospital, and told me that he knew you. He said he’d heard what I was doing on Tyre and he wanted to help.
