My Journal: The Cicuta Trip
Chapter 9: Choosing —What Next?
|
| [TELHO GORA] After I left the Telkalkoin, I enjoyed a
quick lunch at Yerma's (He will give you a special discount if you mention
Gilli's Galactic Guide.)
The view from his place was wonderful--I could
see the Na-os glinting in the distance on the highest tree and a flock
of MyDys leisurely nibbling on the blossoms below. S'Cruisers above, a
steady stream of pods ascending and descending, plus the usual LeaperCabs
scurrying all over. And a long procession of Cicutans in their traditional
floaters heading toward the Na-os for their holiest End-of-High-Season
ceremonies.
Back here in our Gora, I have a little time before
meeting Nesh and Weller so I think I'll check with the Cicutan Tourist
Board to see if we can get passes for anything.

LATER: Well, MIN, the CTB display shows lots of possibilities
(see below), but they have only a couple of stand-by passes. May be able
to work out a Galana trip. I'll have to talk to Weller and Nesh,. Guess
I'll sit here till they come. Hope it's soon.
Oh. A call from Nesh—he and Weller are with
an ex-plan from Earth who can tell us fascinating tales about Cicuta.
He'll show us his special MoonMoth viewing place this evening. And he's
sent a cab to fetch me.
The only cab I see is that big, odd-looking one
that just came over the edge. Let me get closer. The driver—I don't
recognize the species—is holding up a sign saying "Gilli."
He's opening the door, I'd better hop in.
Nice cab. Wonder where we're supposed to meet.
Probably a short ride...Hey!
What's going on??
|
|
We're swerving upward—really fast.
Past that S'Cruiser!
The space-harness sign just lit up.
This cab has a space-harness sign?
That's Galana over there—against a black sky!
What's happening??
Where are we going??
