Chap. 229 Innovation Breakfast over, he walked to his office. The concept of having a workspace all to himself was still something he was learning to accept. The red sky told him that wet weather was coming. Harve had said they were expecting a storm. I want to return those ropes, he thought. Serengeti will…

Chap. 228 The Burglar “It looks pretty stable, K’ndar. You might want to drop that crate downwind of the composting station,” G’aryk said. He, his wife Leana and K’ndar had launched with their loads. Raventh hovered, getting the feel of the heavy crate beneath his belly. “Good idea!” K’ndar called. Below them, Harve waved at…

Chap. 227 Dolphin recovery K’ndar looked with dismay at the size of the giant crate. “My harness isn’t going to be able to handle that big a load,” he said. “We’re just about to warp it over the side,” Harve said. K’ndar saw two crewmen finish harnessing the slatted crate. Inside was a large lump…

Chap. 226 Unusual Cargo This was a great idea! he said to Raventh. The dragon merely laughed as he swam. Cove Hold was beautiful. The beach was soft, white sand, the cove itself a perfect half circle. It was situated just so, the surf a gentle lapping rather than the pounding one that sometimes hit…

Chap. 225 Flight Non Ops “K’ndar, I believe you’ve a good grasp on what this job entails, ” Lefsa said, “and I’m confident that you won’t have many problems. The best thing about it is you may set your own schedule. Meaning, if you want to sleep in all morning and come to work in…

Chap. 224 Grafton “Good morning, Francie!! And who is your friend?” This is Grafton? K’ndar thought. The tiny, wizened man in the chair in a small office was NOT what he was expecting. For some reason, he’d expected a male Hariko, but with Oscoral’s build. It was hard to see him in the darkened room.…

Chap. 223 Navigating I needed that flight Raventh said. I did, too K’ndar said. He unharnessed Raventh. Just a little ways away, Francie was unharnessing her green, Motanith. Lefsa was chirping as excitedly as a fire lizard. “That was INCREDIBLE! And you do that every day?” Francie, grinning, nodded her head. Her three fire lizards…

Chap. 222 The Messy Desk “This looks like…I mean, it seems..I’m overwhelmed with all the things expected of me,” K’ndar said. “I’m beginning to wonder if I’ve made a mistake? Because this looks like nothing what I expected the job to be like. It looks like I’ll be stuck inside every day, doing data?” He…

Chap. 221 Frustration “K’ndar of Landing. K’ndar of Landing.” He clutched the quilt in sudden terror, his heart racing. “Who’s there?” he said. Where was he? Then he realized, it was his datalink. Of course, he’d left it on the table in the kitchen. He could see it flashing. He jumped out of bed, stumbling…

Chap. 220 New Home If he hadn’t had a guide, K’ndar would have instantly been lost in the orderly maze that was Landing. He’d been there before, of course, but only in a few buildings. Landing was laid out in rows, with roads composed of exposed volcanic rock, smoothed and flattened by some long forgotten…
