“Sixth Finger”
They listened carefully for every step of the way until Dhanel Marce concluded,660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4bIa0Zmdy
as he always does, with the already familiar question. They stared at each660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCg6mbAopW
other for the next couple of steps, silently as if trying to decide who among660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jmXHPffbk
them should go first, but eventually Harigar Rhim would decide for them. He took660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAEgnFgtgs
the opportunity before any mutual agreement came to be, but they all would have their660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmBSzDd0dm
chance regardless, if so willing...660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRfADISb4F
“So, I’ll start with the more obvious question and not just to me, I hope” he smirks660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpCIaLt1GM
while looking around his companions “but the time to complete this mission seems660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7hbI5pnSO
awfully scarce considering how far away from reaching the top of that mountain we660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkGFDnrdm7
still are. I don’t care how small that facility might be, it is still way up there and well,660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrkYV6x0od
we are still down here. A few hours?! The time alone required for us to get to that top660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKs8WdywTT5
will easily use them up.”660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaSpMXMe2Q
“That is true but what are you exactly asking me? If I am sure of the amount of time660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXn1Evoodf
made available to us, or you just expect something like that to be overlooked?”660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevbEH2q0aV
“You jest boss, but you know exactly what I am asking. How are we to make it up660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYjg3g4B8x
there?” Dhanel Marce smiles: “Yes of course. Well, there is a transport waiting to take660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruggXJrHsl
us all the way to the top, right after we cross those soggy woods up ahead. A small train660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRyy8cR5CG
station rests amongst the stubborn cliffs overlooking the violent sea, and once there,660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTul0L7wjs
we will take the train that transports any and all cargo towards that facility.”660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxcDcYOf3U
“Excuse me... a train?” asked Deena. “Indeed, a train that will take us up the stream660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQF5elJ4FLZ
if you will. There is nothing electric about it when it comes to how it is powered so660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8YPpr0oIN
the EMP shouldn’t have any influence on it. Its engine is much like the trains of old660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKU2DziX7FU
running on steam so its motion should not be hindered. We will lack the electrics660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vocP8gsdH
aboard but that tells little to us; no lights inside the cart and no voice to greet us, but660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqbICJ1uCC
that is about it. What matters is that it will take us up there and will do so at a good660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknlCOQhd8v
speed. Just picture it as a train that runs vertically instead of horizontally.”660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCFnm1eVnL
“It cannot be just that...” Harigar Rhim stares at that mountain “Without any660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJFpR3lsaA
assistance of electrics how is it capable of moving alongside that mountain? I mean its660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1d6Jb0PIUi
tracks must stand almost vertical at times and there is no way it can run on them on660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZCJPN2MU2
metal wheels alone.”660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85lhOrbTFn
“You will all see.” their captain continues “I have travelled in one of these before,660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTe0WnA1JO
long ago, and I do use the term loosely. Both of us, myself and the one I was with660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXVbWOnnSY
at that time, well we weren’t actually inside the train when we caught a ride on it.660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Y4KWvTx4T
Hanging desperately to it is more like it. Anyway, it is nothing new by any means, but660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplo0btXvV8
just something seldom utilized for how often does one find the need to travel both fast660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hXzihKVUt
and vertically, in a way that an elevator won’t cut it. The ride should not take us more660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeueGUumbtH
than twenty minutes at best.”660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQ1ukplGyo
“So, this transport will deliver us inside the facility?”660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzaqwMfB2M
“I am afraid not Celle, as per these schematics” Dhanel Marce shows them to her660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUuzO51Tlt
“it will instead drop us off in the second building, more explicitly inside the warehouse660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4THFsPH2b
where loaders and other similar machinery take shelter. There are three buildings atop660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNynBhuJ9W9
that mountain: the facility, but also the warehouse where all sorts of things are stored660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimN7dB6HWp
within, and of course loaded into the train or relieved from it. That is where we will660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cUlRD3ohZ
step out. Lastly, the smallest of the three and built slightly apart from the other two;660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oZbP5pSAA
where all the main electric settings are, such as generators, conductors, that sort of660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSay8etbxS
thing. The train will drop us off and after that, once we step outside, things will surely660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMEMpjbgOk
be placed in a better perspective.”660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEiZxipFRx
“Sir if I may... unofficially... I mean off the record; do you have any idea about...”660Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTYLC2d7ut
“Deena, wait!” Celle extends her right arm making her stop “Someone else is here...”
