“Sixth Finger”
They listened carefully for every step of the way until Dhanel Marce concluded,102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSdvhtl9BN
as he always does, with the already familiar question. They stared at each102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGEuhjstS5
other for the next couple of steps, silently as if trying to decide who among102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyWGLfjr7l
them should go first, but eventually Harigar Rhim would decide for them. He took102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBurLShrk7M
the opportunity before any mutual agreement came to be, but they all would have their102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldk0J5e32d
chance regardless, if so willing...102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkaQ1qIo9f
“So, I’ll start with the more obvious question and not just to me, I hope” he smirks102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNt2mQbPjKc
while looking around his companions “but the time to complete this mission seems102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MxZaioc2N
awfully scarce considering how far away from reaching the top of that mountain we102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBNax97fiD
still are. I don’t care how small that facility might be, it is still way up there and well,102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ487V9xt5cy
we are still down here. A few hours?! The time alone required for us to get to that top102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXSUztCpar
will easily use them up.”102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOkGhrsJBE
“That is true but what are you exactly asking me? If I am sure of the amount of time102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGpScaLod8
made available to us, or you just expect something like that to be overlooked?”102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVvsXuEOMH
“You jest boss, but you know exactly what I am asking. How are we to make it up102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyluf3uHRn
there?” Dhanel Marce smiles: “Yes of course. Well, there is a transport waiting to take102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdweZMZuttf
us all the way to the top, right after we cross those soggy woods up ahead. A small train102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4spNCrLFLv
station rests amongst the stubborn cliffs overlooking the violent sea, and once there,102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHa2Cwk1AS
we will take the train that transports any and all cargo towards that facility.”102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC31WjLiYuy
“Excuse me... a train?” asked Deena. “Indeed, a train that will take us up the stream102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdY1yzLdFBs
if you will. There is nothing electric about it when it comes to how it is powered so102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCODvR47HcB
the EMP shouldn’t have any influence on it. Its engine is much like the trains of old102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8cY8ko1gq
running on steam so its motion should not be hindered. We will lack the electrics102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduzXTKClDi
aboard but that tells little to us; no lights inside the cart and no voice to greet us, but102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hcQN48M4C
that is about it. What matters is that it will take us up there and will do so at a good102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0y4xJTfkGn
speed. Just picture it as a train that runs vertically instead of horizontally.”102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRdj8M2qf0
“It cannot be just that...” Harigar Rhim stares at that mountain “Without any102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx9duSmhea
assistance of electrics how is it capable of moving alongside that mountain? I mean its102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3j04hJ9tJQ
tracks must stand almost vertical at times and there is no way it can run on them on102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoP6TFQa9G
metal wheels alone.”102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsSb7c4oZW
“You will all see.” their captain continues “I have travelled in one of these before,102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wqih1UT0E
long ago, and I do use the term loosely. Both of us, myself and the one I was with102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9sYG9B3rv
at that time, well we weren’t actually inside the train when we caught a ride on it.102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYw2SnzvPm
Hanging desperately to it is more like it. Anyway, it is nothing new by any means, but102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnSr7ICVGB
just something seldom utilized for how often does one find the need to travel both fast102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwW7BTfoo4k
and vertically, in a way that an elevator won’t cut it. The ride should not take us more102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuZzSNkNiN
than twenty minutes at best.”102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0AfvTsUAE
“So, this transport will deliver us inside the facility?”102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuofp7Ta2lG
“I am afraid not Celle, as per these schematics” Dhanel Marce shows them to her102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJ9K6uWFcN
“it will instead drop us off in the second building, more explicitly inside the warehouse102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh5uOdLOPP
where loaders and other similar machinery take shelter. There are three buildings atop102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Pgbe676Hy
that mountain: the facility, but also the warehouse where all sorts of things are stored102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF45K1POXee
within, and of course loaded into the train or relieved from it. That is where we will102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4RV0MuLE4
step out. Lastly, the smallest of the three and built slightly apart from the other two;102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM29551be9y
where all the main electric settings are, such as generators, conductors, that sort of102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOHIUyRCyB
thing. The train will drop us off and after that, once we step outside, things will surely102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJyedmt778
be placed in a better perspective.”102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSgHSwgXnH
“Sir if I may... unofficially... I mean off the record; do you have any idea about...”102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAl9H4GqF1c
“Deena, wait!” Celle extends her right arm making her stop “Someone else is here...”
