 How does Lin feel about Extrone?
Of course using live bait is the best way to lure dangerous alien animals ... unless it turns out that you are the bait! Extrone asked, "Is there a pass?" Delicately, Extrone raised a hand to his beard. 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. 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. 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. Extrone sat on an upholstered stool before his tent and spat disgustedly and combed his beard with his blunt fingers. Shortly, from the direction of the rocket, a group of four high-ranking officers came out of the forest, heading toward him. Extrone demanded, ominously not raising his voice. Extrone's face looked much too innocent. Extrone stared at them for a space. "But, sir...." Extrone toyed with his beard. "You'll destroy this one, too," Extrone said. Extrone said, "To begin with, they probably don't even know I'm here. "That's why we'd like you to return to an inner planet, sir." Extrone plucked at his right ear lobe, half closing his eyes. "Get off," Extrone said quietly to the four officers. The takeoff blast of the rocket illuminated the area, casting weird shadows on the gently swaying grasses; there was a hot breath of dry air and the rocket dwindled toward the stars. Extrone stood up lazily, stretching. Extrone said, turning, startled. Extrone held back the flap of the tent. Extrone flipped it on.
