Khy hadn’t been to Arizona before, but it was easier to get to than Oklahoma where they had visited last. Oklahoma had been nice, but it got too cold in the winter for the Volon. The heat of the Arizona summer wouldn’t bother them the way it did the humans, and it was closer to California and the DETI office.

With DETI’s help, he had found farmland for sale that could, with a few extra acres from the neighbours if they were willing to sell, be big enough to make a home for a Volon tribe. They could raise livestock to be self-sufficient, and live however they wanted without being watched. A few Volon would live in houses here and there to serve as communication points for the tribe, perhaps mated couples with children. Khy had some people in mind, but there’d been no volunteers. First they had to find the land.

Just like in Oklahoma, Anna was accompanying him and the tribe. What was new this time was that other Volon from other DETI offices were going to join them, including other chiefs. Khy knew the San Diego Volon had a problem with mating and having children, but he honestly didn’t know for certain if others did. He had heard rumours, but it was humbling to think that maybe they were the only ones. If another chief had a solution, Khy would abandon his pride in an instant to help his people.

It was a long drive to the land they were meeting on, so they rented a big truck that could carry the tribe’s camping gear over unpaved roads. Anna was not happy about driving it, but once they were actually bumping along, the sun over their heads and the windows open, their sunglasses on, they laughed at themselves. Khy got the sense of freedom that only came from open plains and open sky, from nothing but grass, and not a single building in sight. No one was watching them here.

They found the farmhouse by GPS. The simple house and its gathered silos and barns would be the base of operations, where everyone would meet, and where they could get help in an emergency. They would not be sleeping there. The Volon were eager to sleep under the stars.

Khy climbed to the top of the silo to survey the land. It was a good open space. The boundary lines were within a day’s walk, which he didn’t really like, but for this short trip it would be enough. As other Volon arrived, he picked out places to camp and memorised where the road was. It made him feel like he was back on Teiss, advising his chief on the best routes to walk to avoid other tribes and rivers. It felt like another life, so long ago.

The days were short this time of year, and they would have to start setting up their tents if they wanted to be able to house everybody by nightfall.

He climbed down, and found Anna talking to Chax and Kona.
