Chapter 179: Second Departure
Somehow, we had done it. Every single Reltleon was loaded onto the transports—all two thousand three-hundred and twelve of them. I didn’t even care how far off Glunderlin’s census data had actually been, because we had done it. We had even gone above and beyond that. The City had been entirely stripped. More still, we had even managed to take every crop, garden, and tree with us. All that was left were the empty buildings. They would remain as a gift to the Cactomen, the last living reminder of Smithtown.
“How long until Cecile is ready with the livestock?” Pryte asked, pulling me from my thoughts.
“I’ll check,” I said as I pulled up a chat window.
| Dave: Maud, where is Cecile at over there? Pryte is getting antsy. Maud: He says he’s about ready. He also says that as soon as he does this, we will have about 8 hours at most to get back to Earth. Dave: What happens if we don’t make it in that time? Maud: Uh, he says, he will start losing the animals, and he isn’t entirely sure what that means. Dave: Got it. Okay, I’ll check with Pryte if we are ready to go and get the bus over to you guys as soon as we are. Maud: Thanks :)
