章 43: Glory

A day later at 1500, Nix ported back into the Lifestyle Village. Darsi, Dalton and five others were waiting next to the platform.

Nix held out a hand. "Everyone please join hands." He waited patiently until everyone complied, then he activated Deep Blue and chose Jenzi.

Darsi stepped off the platform, she had been to Jenzi many times, so she wasn't standing there gawking like the rest of her group. Her eyes were watching Nix. "This entire time, you have an artifact that can do what I spent the last few months trying to accomplish."

"I suppose so, it's not like I could just tell you that." He glanced at the rest of the group, "tomorrow morning I'll pick you up here at 0700 and bring you back to the hub."

"Can I copy the artifact that you use for travel?"

"I'll consider it, but first you need to show that you can make the daily commute work."
