Uncanny
I remember Mex telling me about Mati, but seeing her now was a bit surreal pressed up on the glass. She was Kieta’s friend, so it might be nice to get her to come to join us, but getting to her was a problem.
“That is quite the sight,” Fireden said thoughtfully, but I sucked all four back inside of me at once.
“Hello? Can you hear me?” Mati called from the other side of the glass, but I could barely hear her.
“Yes! Give me a minute, and I will come out there!” I shouted, and Mati gave me a webbed thumbs up.
I turned, jogged out of the room, and headed straight for the front of the house to get to the control room. The moment I entered the small room, the door opened, but Keri wasn't in the booth.
“I anticipated that you would be coming to see me. We really need to get an intercom set up. I was going to come to talk to you about her, but I assumed you would come to find me first,” Mex said as I walked up to the map area I had been in before.
