Chapter 42

Not all of the Dialorians had left for the base. Countless creatures still swarmed the control center. Relda and Raylay squatted low. The others crouched behind them.

"Group 2, prepare to enter the base," a recording of a female commanded.

"Go," Raylay instructed. "Stay with the crowd."

Group 2 chattered. Their conversations blended together, and their smells. Some were pleasant aromas derived from blooming planets. Others were breathtaking musty smells. Relda held her breath in her cheeks and with her hand she fanned her nose.

With one final step, they became one with Group 2. Dual control center doors unsealed, and the march advanced.

This battalion kept Relda's agility in check. Their stride and physiques suggested adolescents, or in the younger adult age group. She choked while her daughters moved in stride with the Dialorians.

"Stay with me," Maurian whispered. "It's eyescan activated."
