Blending In
“Looks like a great day for sightseeing,” Brynlin says. “We’re gonna stand out in these clothes. We need to look like tourists.”
“Cypress,” Alyx’s voice instructs, “open the extra pack. The code is 347.”
Cypress opens the pack and takes out four shirts, each with a picture of Eadbhard on the front. She hands one to each of us along with four cardboard camera-looking things.
“Are these disposable cameras?” I drop the strap around my neck. “I’ve heard about these.”
“It’s called a phitonsee here.”
I turn the box over and look through the oval hole. “Fit-en-see? Cool.”
“It stores the image on a chip, which you can use over and over,” Brynlin says.
Cypress reaches in the backpack again and extracts four caps with the Eadbhard logo stitched above the brim.
I take mine, examine it, and pop it on my head. Hey, if I’m gonna die saving the universe, at least I’ll leave behind some cool paraphernalia.

Skyjo’s Style
Excerpt from ‘Daniel Everhart and the Skylands of Caterra: Guarinot’
Skyjo speaking—
“Ladies, ladies . . .” Skyjo struts beside us and pulls back his jacket to reveal two laser guns. He flips one in the air, spins it twice, and returns it to its holster. “Don’t worry about a thing. I’m here to protect you.”
“That’s what I’m afraid of,” Brynlin replies. “I don’t think those pea shooters will be necessary. If there’re any confrontations, Cypress and I will handle it.”
“No worries Bry. I’ll be your backup.” Skyjo flips the other pistol in the air and shoots a dozen bursts into the trunk of a large tree, forming a perfect circular pattern.
I duck, cover my head with my arms, and flinch at every shot. “Whoa! Nice shooting.” I’m impressed. And surprised. At least this kid can hit his mark.

The Bar
Cadmus dives to the floor, grabs Brynlin, and pulls her up in front of him. “Drop it, scums, or this pretty thing will be no more.”
I hear metal strike the floor behind me. Must be Skyjo and Bram. Maybe Joost and Elaina. I can’t be sure. Whoever it is, now they’re unarmed.
Cadmus lets out a beastly laugh and tosses Brynlin to the side. “Don’t you know the first rule of mortal combat? Never, ever relinquish your weapons.” He raises his laser and aims. “Any last requests?”

Binturong
The rock surface splits open to expose a dozen ancient steps that disappear into a smoldering haze. The ground shakes, and a growl rumbles like distant thunder from the hole.
I look up to see Bram, Cypress and Skyjo across the ruins, their lasers ready. The ruins tremble. The growl intensifies.
“Binturong!” I hear Skyjo in my earpiece.
“That’s just a bedtime story,” Cypress says, her voice taut.
“What’s a Binturong?” Bram asks.
“Moloch’s ride,” Skyjo says. “It has the head of a mulkin and the body of a beraung. When Moloch was vanquished to his moon, the Binturong was stranded on Caterra.”
“It’s just a fable,” Cypress says. “No one’s actually seen it.”
Through the steam, I see a shadow pass.

Thought Reader
Harrison hands Elaina and me each a baseball cap with the Bowman Ridge logo on the front. “These are equipped with a sixteen-megapixel video camera, microphone, headlight, earpiece, and tracking beam. Hopefully, I’ve worked out the details with Alyx. When you split I’ll be able to see both videos from Earth and Caterra simultaneously.
“This sensor”—Harrison points to a small white circle on my cap— “will read your brain waves as you process the signal between your two halves. That way, I can see what you see almost immediately. Any deciphering that needs to be done, for example, I can help from here.”
“Wait . . . you’ll, like, be able to read my mind?”
“Not exactly. I’ll be able to see what you see through the camera, and your brain waves will indicate points of stress. In other words, things you’re having trouble understanding.”
I’m not sure I’m good with that. I mean, this is Elaina’s dad. Having him inside my head, figuring out what I’m thinking about his daughter is just wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong.

Hammer Head
Excerpt from ‘Daniel Everhart and the Skylands of Caterra: Guarinot’
Daniel speaking—
Filtered shadows pass overhead as another school of big eye trevally swim in waves, like ribbons in the breeze. The school scatters and a hammerhead cuts through the middle—right above my head. It spins and heads toward us.
My body jerks. I reach for my laser just as the shark’s tail brushes against Joost’s shoulder.
Joost falls sideways and bumps into me, and I lose my grip on the pistol. I swim after it, but the current sweeps it over the pyramid’s edge out of sight.
A shadow passes overhead again. I look up in time to see the shark make a circle and dive right at me.
I pull my arms up to block the shark’s mouth.

Complications at Ur
“You were noticed yesterday,” Harrison says during the evening meeting.
Mom and Joost are handing out bowls of peach cobbler and ice cream, and I’m scooping my fourth shovel full from the bowl when Harrison kills my sugar high.
“There’s an old military base close to the Ziggurat. Since your departure, patrols have come and gone every hour. They stationed guards on the top terrace—one for each corner.”
I scoot over and make a place for Joost on the couch. “That patrol base isn’t far. Twice, we came within spitting distance of some of the older structures.”
“We placed the sensors where you told us to,” Cypress says. “What more can we do?”
“We can’t do the job with a bunch of guards around. We’re gonna have to deal with them,” Bram grunts between bites of cobbler.
“These are grown men, and they’re heavily armed,” Harrison tells us. He has at least a dozen more wrinkles than he did a week ago. And the ones he did have are etched deeper into his skin. “The last thing we need is a confrontation.”
