 Why are Ri and Mia the guides?
Right up ahead of us. "We'll pitch camp right here, then," Extrone said. He crossed to Mia, who, along with him, had been pressed into Extrone's party as guides. Once more, Ri addressed the bearers, "Be quick, now!" "At least, then, I wouldn't be one of his guides. "You two scout ahead," Extrone said. "Yes, sir," Ri said, and instantly the two of them readjusted their shoulder straps and started off. Shortly they were inside of the scrub forest, safe from sight. And I don't think there's another cargo rocket on this planet outside of the one we leased from the Club. "Everybody and his brother had heard the rumor that farn beasts were somewhere around here. "After Extrone said he'd hunt farn beasts, even if it meant going to the alien system? I didn't tell Extrone, if that's what you're thinking," Mia said. It was a military craft, from the outpost on the near moon, and forward, near the nose, there was the blazoned emblem of the Ninth Fleet. The rocket roared directly over Extrone's tent, turned slowly, spouting fuel expensively, and settled into the scrub forest, turning the vegetation beneath it sere by its blasts. Shortly, from the direction of the rocket, a group of four high-ranking officers came out of the forest, heading toward him.
