The sand car churned and bounced down the track. "They are going to the mountains," Ulv said some time later, as the tracks still pointed straight ahead. "There are caves there and many magter have been seen near them; that is what I have heard." The guess was correct.
Brion's shots crashed into the control board, shorting and destroying it, removing the menace to Nyjord for all time. Medvirk, Ulv had said. A life form that cooperates and aids other life forms. It may kill in self-defense, but it is essentially not a killer or destroyer. Ulv had a lifetime of knowledge about the interdependency of life.
"But it is not that easy. I'll need some help. It is your life that needs saving yours and your families'. If you would help me " "What is the truth?" Ulv broke in savagely. "All I hear is difference, and there is no longer any way to tell truth. For as long as always we have done as the magter say. We bring them food and they give us the metal and sometimes water when we need it.
Carefully and delicately she removed the cap of bone from the magter's head, exposing his brain to the shaft of light from the window. "You were right all the time, Brion," she said. "There is your alien." Ulv joined them as they looked down at the exposed brain of the magter. The thing was so clearly evident that even Ulv noticed it.
"My name is ... Ulv," he said. Then he was gone. Brion did what he could to make Lea comfortable, but it was very little. If she didn't get medical attention soon she would be dead. Dehydration and shock were uniting to destroy her. Just before sunset he heard clanking, and the throbbing whine of a sand car's engine coming from the west. With each second the noise grew louder, coming their way.
"If we try to run they'll just shoot us down. Let's find a spot we can defend and settle into it." "Back here" Ulv gave a tug in the right direction "there is a cave with only one entrance, and that is very narrow." "Let's go!" Running as silently as they could in the darkness, they reached the deadend cavern without being seen.
What will happen to you at midnight?" "I'll be dead but in spite of that I can't run away. Not now. I must do everything possible right up until the last instant. Ulv and I will go to the magter tower, try to find out if the bombs are there. He will fight on our side now. He may even know more about the bombs, things that he didn't want to tell me before. We can get help from his people.
You were still knocked out by a sleeping drug, so Ulv helped bring you here. It's afternoon now " "Of the last day?" She sounded horrified. "While I'm playing Sleeping Beauty the world is coming to an end! Was anyone hurt in the attack? Or killed?" "There were a number of casualties and plenty of trouble," Brion said. He had to get her off the subject.
The shot boomed loudly as the magter fell a shot that would surely have been heard by the others. Before anyone else came into the cave, Brion ran over and grabbed the still functioning light. Propping it on the rocks so it shone on the entrance, he hurried back to shelter beside Ulv. They waited for the attack. It was not long in coming. Two magter rushed in, and died.
The magter called together all of us they could to help them carry explosive. I went along. I could not stop them, and there was no time to warn anyone in the building." "Then they are all dead?" "Yes," Ulv nodded. "All except one. I knew I could perhaps save one; I was not sure who. So I took the woman you were with in the desert she is here now.
