Kharon Chapter 10
A short time later the ship is beached along a small shoreline with a high cliff. There is wreckage washed up all over the beach. The Kharon herself is dinged and scorched but still functional and in pretty good shape all things considered.
“Shocked we actually made it through that in one piece”, says Jacob.
"Well I was the finest of the Quarsian sailors."
“Won’t they know we are coming now?”, asks Emma.
“I used an old Quarsian trick to make it look like we sank. But they are familiar with that trick so they are still going to be on guard till they confirm.”
“Great! Just fucking great”, says Luke.
“This nook on the island is hard to get to and I put up the cloaking field on the Kharon so their instruments won’t pick it up.”
“Can’t they still fucking see it beached on their island”, says Luke.
“It is night time”, says Emma.
“Plus Metrons trust their instruments over their eyes”, says Simone.
“Correct. But we still need to be quick about this”, says Kiarah.
“For once no argument there”, says Luke.
“We need to hitch a ride on the monorail and then split up for speed sake.” Kiarah points to Jacob and Luke. “You two will get off at the energy sphere and sabotage it enough to create an explosion that will provide a sufficient diversion.”
“No fucking way I am partnering with this shit bag!”, cries Luke.
“Hey! I ain’t thrilled about it either dick hole but let’s just do what she needs and get the hell out of here. These people didn’t reach superpower status by accident."
Kiarah turns to Emma and Simone. “You two will get off at the main armory and I need you to destroy it.”
“How are we supposed to do that?”, Emma asks.
“I don’t care how just as long as it is gone. The Kharon is fast but I want to have a little bit more of an edge.”
“I gotcha” says Simone.
Kiarah turns and starts climbing the rocky wall. “Ok, let’s move.”
“You gotta be joking”, says Jacob staring at the rocky tower in front of him.
“I never joke”, says Kiarah.
“Yea, I can tell."
“A shame I never knew about this spot. Surprised they didn’t get rid of this beach and put their technology here. Just like the rest of the island”, remarks Simone.
“It would have compromised the geographic and aesthetic integrity”, says Kiarah.“So instead they just pretend it doesn’t exist.”
“Guess even their technology has limits”, says Simone.
