CHAPTER 367

LYCAVORE

ANVIL BASE CAMP

The area was as remote as they could find and still remain on the same continent as the Lycavorian settlement. They were some hundred and thirty-seven kilometers north of the settlement, but they did not skimp on their security. Working quickly and efficiently, Danny, Atropos and the dozen Durcunusaan that had deployed with them had chopped down huge branches from the surrounding trees and draped them over the top of ANVIL where Endith had set them down. They were near a smallish lake, and after several quick passes over the top of the STRIKER DT, Jeth had finally announced it hidden from view. Tina had quickly established communications with HOPE'S QUEST which had taken up residence in the intensely gaseous atmosphere of Lycavore's closest moon. The freighter was unshielded, but the gases of the moon made it invisible to anything in the system unless they were within a thousand meters of the ship.
