A couple of the prisoners had gone to find more food, but most were making their shiny new dwellings comfortable. >Car'tos nodded, and gave him a 'They get out, you die' look. >"Yes sir. Shall I get the search party ready?" >"No, I think I'll lead this one. Just worry about the aliens." Five Moluvians waved to the pair in the doorway. >"Good hunting, sir." >"You too" >Both Tie'neks ran to either doors in the hallway. >The Palace of Cities. One on every main world in the Storm.

Used to the tall, spire-like starscrapers of Alkyr, Julian was impressed by his spacious new surroundings. Strangely enough, though his brass-coloured armour stood out from the Tie'nek, with the two vile HUMANS tagging around behind Car'tos, they assumed Julian to be one of their allies. He even drew the odd salute. "They're a friendly sort," thought Julian. "Schroeder would like it here." He walked through a corridor into the streets of what he thought was the capital city. Again, the spaciousness, the vast void of the dark night sky, something almost never visible on Alkyr took him by suprise. It had been too long since he'd had a chance to fly over a city, slits in his armour opened up to allow his wings room to unfurl. ---------- >"We men ready?" >"Yes sir!" Answered four of the five men group. >"Good, now move out. We have to find them before they escape." >The Underlins got up from all six, and walked down to the main hanger >bay. Car'tos' Underlin pressed a button, and the door slid open half >way. The five stepped out, and run into the city streets. >They had forgotten what time it was, and were surprised it was dark. >"Hmm, Night search.. That'll hard to do with Underlins... Men! To the >I'Bos!" Seven lights shot out from the now-distant Palace of Cities. Faint wisps of exhaust particles trailed out from behind the I'Bos, giving them the appearance of shooting stars against the dark night sky. Julian lay sprawled out on the roof of a bulding, gazing out into the blackness of space. No-one traveled by good old-fashioned ramscoop engines anymore, preferring the sometimes viciously unstable Star Lanes to get from point A to point B. Only once had Julian experienced space travel with his family, on their small cutter, drifting on the solar wind. "They'll be looking for me," he said to no-one in particular. "With any luck they'll find me, I'm lost." ---------- Theore Jann and his two-strong honour guard sat out in the plains, watching the night sky. The Shattered Dreams, its damaged hull still sparkling in the light of the moon, had been surrounded by the alien behomoth creatures and light cavalry. "We could take it back, I suppose." "Then they'll send more stuff. We should wait." "Then they'll find us." Theore in teruppted the argument "We'll let them find us. It wouldn't be such a bad idea, they'll put us with the rest of the colonists. Besides, we can't do much out here, we can't exactly storm the city." With that in mind, the trio began screaming "NECKTIES AND THE ONIONS!!!" in the hope of attracting attention. TBC. -- Cat-Gonk. ---------------------------- Do you believe in Goddish?
