Lacuna: the Sands of Karathi
“Near the wreckage of the GiralanSurface of Karathi “It’s too fucking hot,” Summer Rowe whined, kicking a clump of sand into the air, sweat pouring down her freckled face. “What the fuck am I doing here? I’m an engineer, not some fucking… fucking… sand walking-type person who… walks in sand! Fuck!”
Although Summer’s complaining was grating Liao’s nerves, it was good to see her acting more like her old self. Liao grit her teeth. “The signal’s probably right next to us. Within a square kilometer, at least. Have a drink of water and see if you can find anything.”
The Broadsword gunship had deposited the landing party on the surface of the planet. Initially, it was Cheung and her Marines, Saara, Summer, and Kamal, but at the last minute Liao had insisted on taking Kamal’s spot, even though that was gravely against protocol. Liao justified it by reasoning that she was, aside from Saara, the best Toralii speaker they had. Being the captain, she was also in the best position to bargain with... whomever they found at the signal’s origin point.MoreLess
