Six Survive

Orion Shall Rise, CHAPTER FOURTEEN.

All six characters survive the plane crash. Consequently, two Northwesterners, two Maurai and two Uropans must cooperate to survive in the wilderness. This in turn means that the other five must accept the leadership of wilderness expert, Ronica.

The Maurai know that the Northwesterners have been gathering fissionables. The Northwesterners deny that this is for nuclear weapons. Iern knows that it is for something called "Orion." The Northwesterners have found a perfect way to discuss a secret without divulging the secret but will Warao's hyper-sensitivity fathom the truth?

Kaor, Paul!

I recalled what the Northwesterners were scheming to do with those fissionables, but I won't spill the beans!

Currently rereading Anderson's "A Bicycle Built For Brew," I felt in the mood for something humorous.

Ad astra! Sean
