Og stepped forward, nearly trampling Reifek where he knelt, his voice booming over the comm. “Who dares trespass on a Colossus world?”
Og’s comm immediately scrambled as he switched channels. I slumped back behind the control box and pulled Duane down with me.
I spoke, “I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore Duane.”
Duane replied, “Kansas Sir?”
I sighed and continued, “Never mind. It’s an old reference from the Grid archives. I need to stop using those as they aren’t quite as popular as I remember.”
A rumbling could be heard as a second team with military style uniforms pulled up in a vehicle behind the soldiers. The same thin breather packs as the workers wore, were evident on their chests. From the blue stripe on their uniform shoulders I took a guess that they were the equivalent of our SCore agents.
I slumped back down as the agents began to crawl onto the harvester. “Duane.”
Duane replied, “Yes Sir?”
I continued as I looked down the tracks into the blackness of the tunnel beyond our position. “Looks like we may be here for a while.”
