“Sixth Finger”
They listened carefully for every step of the way until Dhanel Marce concluded,320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxhKa6g7f1
as he always does, with the already familiar question. They stared at each320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBF8nHwofSW
other for the next couple of steps, silently as if trying to decide who among320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZCXqLr2ah
them should go first, but eventually Harigar Rhim would decide for them. He took320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsTMyHhJJz
the opportunity before any mutual agreement came to be, but they all would have their320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGyKqGHIdG
chance regardless, if so willing...320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdktBaQd6BD
“So, I’ll start with the more obvious question and not just to me, I hope” he smirks320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgp3eLqoJkX
while looking around his companions “but the time to complete this mission seems320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLRizLQliv
awfully scarce considering how far away from reaching the top of that mountain we320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNr9DuwKmE
still are. I don’t care how small that facility might be, it is still way up there and well,320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HroeRGGwD
we are still down here. A few hours?! The time alone required for us to get to that top320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5b5SHMRMR
will easily use them up.”320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHwArkdzul
“That is true but what are you exactly asking me? If I am sure of the amount of time320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0njlm4vnR
made available to us, or you just expect something like that to be overlooked?”320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwuGlx5C3o
“You jest boss, but you know exactly what I am asking. How are we to make it up320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAX1d6pZ15A
there?” Dhanel Marce smiles: “Yes of course. Well, there is a transport waiting to take320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTG7t3rY80x
us all the way to the top, right after we cross those soggy woods up ahead. A small train320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtGBzi8154
station rests amongst the stubborn cliffs overlooking the violent sea, and once there,320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt809r8TV5k
we will take the train that transports any and all cargo towards that facility.”320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEGlcZAgsC
“Excuse me... a train?” asked Deena. “Indeed, a train that will take us up the stream320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyJerLcpBY
if you will. There is nothing electric about it when it comes to how it is powered so320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqber2m6Vbb
the EMP shouldn’t have any influence on it. Its engine is much like the trains of old320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUbnM2VMdJ
running on steam so its motion should not be hindered. We will lack the electrics320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4a4a8TSY1
aboard but that tells little to us; no lights inside the cart and no voice to greet us, but320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3QSeRiz0m
that is about it. What matters is that it will take us up there and will do so at a good320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1d0TKdW37
speed. Just picture it as a train that runs vertically instead of horizontally.”320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0fmlJRrdi
“It cannot be just that...” Harigar Rhim stares at that mountain “Without any320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKeBU8v1bs
assistance of electrics how is it capable of moving alongside that mountain? I mean its320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseqTlwrN8F
tracks must stand almost vertical at times and there is no way it can run on them on320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAh3Nmcct21
metal wheels alone.”320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZfdVRSuMF
“You will all see.” their captain continues “I have travelled in one of these before,320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0WSfk8DKq
long ago, and I do use the term loosely. Both of us, myself and the one I was with320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmniKVNswrm
at that time, well we weren’t actually inside the train when we caught a ride on it.320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Disz9dz0u
Hanging desperately to it is more like it. Anyway, it is nothing new by any means, but320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWyFVJbuk0
just something seldom utilized for how often does one find the need to travel both fast320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0LWNwzFO8
and vertically, in a way that an elevator won’t cut it. The ride should not take us more320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtottsvsTH
than twenty minutes at best.”320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTK0y2TMHcm
“So, this transport will deliver us inside the facility?”320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5fzujJkH7
“I am afraid not Celle, as per these schematics” Dhanel Marce shows them to her320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrTAvdYbpu
“it will instead drop us off in the second building, more explicitly inside the warehouse320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMQFHd1Bky
where loaders and other similar machinery take shelter. There are three buildings atop320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VAFLgn2z5
that mountain: the facility, but also the warehouse where all sorts of things are stored320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0bSlcVVbW
within, and of course loaded into the train or relieved from it. That is where we will320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4O598xiJK
step out. Lastly, the smallest of the three and built slightly apart from the other two;320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsZ3lWLPis
where all the main electric settings are, such as generators, conductors, that sort of320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoctOfHkHgO
thing. The train will drop us off and after that, once we step outside, things will surely320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUsGsS3wrM
be placed in a better perspective.”320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUCM18MJRB
“Sir if I may... unofficially... I mean off the record; do you have any idea about...”320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYnviiGnqm
“Deena, wait!” Celle extends her right arm making her stop “Someone else is here...”
