I. The Desert Island
"Where's Astira?" asked the Dragon.
Ozymandias stood up, flickering in hot thoughts. For a long moment he scanned the shore, raising his right arm & opening the palm & fingers of his electronic hand. Then he retracted his arm & turned to the Dragon.
"Her infrared trail is cold & her low power i6 tracker beacon must be off, unless she wandered out of range."
The Dragon stared at Ozymandias. Jamu stopped tending the fire & spoke.
"Astira said she was bored & wanted to explore the island for some fun. She said she wouldn't be gone more than 24 hours- a galactic day. A lot can happen in a day. I don't like it. It's now the second day. If she found something interesting, why didn't she just come back and tell us about it?"
The Dragon sighed & looked along the shore. Infrared waves undulated along the strip of sand stretching to the dark horizon.
The sunset rainbow faded. Night fell. Astira looked high above, way beyond the falling waters. She reached for her infrared glasses & then she noticed. Incredible! Through a narrow crack in the rock, miles above, through the telescopic optics, she could see the desert stars!
