“Sixth Finger”
They listened carefully for every step of the way until Dhanel Marce concluded,616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkE2HdyP1y
as he always does, with the already familiar question. They stared at each616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdI3sIFSsn
other for the next couple of steps, silently as if trying to decide who among616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2sxmxYE6l
them should go first, but eventually Harigar Rhim would decide for them. He took616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFLw34DkvP
the opportunity before any mutual agreement came to be, but they all would have their616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DADtwYrti
chance regardless, if so willing...616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuCI60iOo0
“So, I’ll start with the more obvious question and not just to me, I hope” he smirks616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUnQW6LNd1
while looking around his companions “but the time to complete this mission seems616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCIgs5mgJQ
awfully scarce considering how far away from reaching the top of that mountain we616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKbV8OoDUm
still are. I don’t care how small that facility might be, it is still way up there and well,616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpOYF5oCtW
we are still down here. A few hours?! The time alone required for us to get to that top616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYgpXswils
will easily use them up.”616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvfoRCoyqD
“That is true but what are you exactly asking me? If I am sure of the amount of time616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWRNZyDBgO
made available to us, or you just expect something like that to be overlooked?”616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMmDumNFhN
“You jest boss, but you know exactly what I am asking. How are we to make it up616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsD4QvUombj
there?” Dhanel Marce smiles: “Yes of course. Well, there is a transport waiting to take616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHFTTGeLpu
us all the way to the top, right after we cross those soggy woods up ahead. A small train616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMTzBLUDsA
station rests amongst the stubborn cliffs overlooking the violent sea, and once there,616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH7IJHCDTN
we will take the train that transports any and all cargo towards that facility.”616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUM8u1tyI2c
“Excuse me... a train?” asked Deena. “Indeed, a train that will take us up the stream616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHNifgrjza
if you will. There is nothing electric about it when it comes to how it is powered so616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqMFqvbXGz
the EMP shouldn’t have any influence on it. Its engine is much like the trains of old616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHLNdRo8EG
running on steam so its motion should not be hindered. We will lack the electrics616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuYhDhYTVN
aboard but that tells little to us; no lights inside the cart and no voice to greet us, but616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRRpopNFsR
that is about it. What matters is that it will take us up there and will do so at a good616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyECGD6ifuq
speed. Just picture it as a train that runs vertically instead of horizontally.”616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcp8Pc5MUDf
“It cannot be just that...” Harigar Rhim stares at that mountain “Without any616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rI8lvxlXO
assistance of electrics how is it capable of moving alongside that mountain? I mean its616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1zXH4wQTE
tracks must stand almost vertical at times and there is no way it can run on them on616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8FLLejtKc
metal wheels alone.”616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqztg1x3272
“You will all see.” their captain continues “I have travelled in one of these before,616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqv6V4xUGPU
long ago, and I do use the term loosely. Both of us, myself and the one I was with616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Yle7NPhC1
at that time, well we weren’t actually inside the train when we caught a ride on it.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Xgc366Mgd
Hanging desperately to it is more like it. Anyway, it is nothing new by any means, but616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSbnloo10s
just something seldom utilized for how often does one find the need to travel both fast616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LKofE8zJX
and vertically, in a way that an elevator won’t cut it. The ride should not take us more616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxjoF9yF7M
than twenty minutes at best.”616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JWuMRw0zK
“So, this transport will deliver us inside the facility?”616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wE9sQpuhA
“I am afraid not Celle, as per these schematics” Dhanel Marce shows them to her616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmlVcrRqD5
“it will instead drop us off in the second building, more explicitly inside the warehouse616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6PIRMz0WN
where loaders and other similar machinery take shelter. There are three buildings atop616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVijOEAC5u
that mountain: the facility, but also the warehouse where all sorts of things are stored616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbhLkDOTjW
within, and of course loaded into the train or relieved from it. That is where we will616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ndy22SPXF
step out. Lastly, the smallest of the three and built slightly apart from the other two;616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxM2BzOHkEI
where all the main electric settings are, such as generators, conductors, that sort of616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVqyYjTQdj
thing. The train will drop us off and after that, once we step outside, things will surely616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFnWfRGin1
be placed in a better perspective.”616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwgUnSH0bY
“Sir if I may... unofficially... I mean off the record; do you have any idea about...”616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQeYuswXCZ
“Deena, wait!” Celle extends her right arm making her stop “Someone else is here...”
