章 163: 161: A new destination

"So, when do I move to the next node?" Maria asked Lady Elma who had a closed-off expression. The closed-off expression did not make things easier for Maria to interpret, nor did the words she heard.

"Ideally, I'll ask you to leave right now but we do have a little problem. There are only two circuits that are currently open. Our natural circuit leads to Jamaica but it's too dull to operate. I'm afraid that something happened there. Your only other options are Gerna and Albest" Lady Elma's words sounded practiced.

Maria could tell that she had a lot of practice in being able to deliver these kinds of news to the people. And what terrible news it was.

Ideally, Albest would be the next destination to aim for but Maria was not sure if it would be wise of her to go there. There were too many things that were connected to Albest for her not to worry.
