.34 Shiver and BrightBright followed her and carried his own burden.Thespindles projected from the front of the building, and whenthe cable was threaded in place, they activated the sensorsand the spools began to unravel.Wires moved into the structure and were connected toeach floor, each room and each terminal.The Avari had been very precise with their instructionsfor building the structure.The plumbing was worked out viaa complex ground water and filtration system.The gardensgrowing behind the tower would use up the water after thetower had its way with it.After another hour of watching, Bright brought out mealsfor them as the sun went down.He smiled. So, when do you think the Miikor willarrive? They are ten minutes out.I can feel their vehicles.Thelocal area is too rocky for most aircraft.The vertical takeoff isa necessity. Shiver ate her sandwich and sipped her soupfrom a cup. You can feel them coming? Of course.I don t just cause the tremors, I can feel them.I can tell how many, what sort of vehicles and how fast.Ialso know all the roads around here.They are now nineminutes out. Then, finish up and we will get ready to entertain.Bright s shoulders straightened and his eyes gleamed.Hewanted the welcoming committee to know that they werenot dealing with locals.The glowing eyes were a pretty goodclue.35 Viola GraceChapter Sixhiver stood next to her partner with the glowing CitadelSstill sprouting behind them.Military police were next to the chancellor himself.Hewalked toward them, and to Shiver s shock, he extended hishand.She had pulled on the gloves that completed her clothing,and it was when she lifted her hand to his that he saw thatshe was completely covered.The flicker of expression madeher suspicious, and as she shook his hand and introducedherself, she felt something crunch against her palm.The light waft of krisk sap made her chuckle. Chancellor,I am so happy to meet you at long last.She gripped his hand in both of hers and gave a sharptwist.The chancellor winced. Shiver; what an interesting name.She rattled his body with her talent and smiled tightly. Not as interesting as chancellor, but it helps me find mylocker.He pulled back and she smelled blood.She had piercedhis skin, and the shaking would move the sap through hissystem faster than he counted on. This is my partner, Bright.We are the Citadel advanceteam.The chancellor blinked. Right.About that.The outpostproperty reverted to the Miikor government four years ago.36 Shiver and Bright I am afraid that it didn t.Reversion was not in theoriginal contract.This piece of rocky territory was handedover as unusable and unstrategic.There are warships twosystems over that can enforce our claim if need be.The chancellor s pupils dilated.Shiver smiled politely. Now, why don t you want ushere? You are a threat to my position.She didn t grin.The krisk sap worked as a truth agent.Itsimply convinced the infected person that they had noreason to lie.Everything they said was golden.The guards looked at each other but didn t speak. Why am I a threat to your position? The locals are fools.The government has managed tokeep them pacified, but charismatic individuals make themlook elsewhere for leadership.Shiver nodded wisely. We will help you.We will taketwo of yours in an effort to ease your burden.They will jointhe Citadel and offer assistance to members of thepopulation with talents.Your support will make you lookwise and benevolent. Miikor are not born with talents. He scoffed but hiseyes were unsure. Of course they are.My research has shown me ninedifferent talents in this very province.If they wish training,we want to offer it to them.Imagine being able to control theweather, put out forest fires, have disaster personnel whocan dig through rock.They can and will be a boon toMiikor. How do you know this?She smiled tightly. I have done my research.He swayed slightly. Who do you want?37 Viola Grace I want Vice Chancellor Altair Newshot to resign hisposition and come here as an assistant coordinator to liaisewith the locals.I also want a local cook for the Citadel.He blinked. You want him out of the government? He is a solid personality who can be moved here with nopower to sway your people. Why him? Because he has been in the news, and you don t needhim.You can simply declare this an ambassadorial post andmove him from one position to another [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
