Eland And Jeanne (Tales of the Shareem)
“They slept during the heat of the day and used nighttime to explore.
Rees was tireless. He and Eland walked through miles of tunnels, swarming up and down stairs, exploring every level, Rees flashing his light around.
“What do you keep looking for?” Eland asked him after they’d lived like this a couple of days. “There’s nothing down here.”
“Sure there is. These look like old maintenance tunnels, from when everything was wired. Bet the grid is still tied into it, though.”
“Good for the grid. How... about figuring out how we’re going to get off-planet and not be caught?”
Rees turned around. The light limned his face in stark lines, showing a handsome man, but not one face-sculpted into perfection. Rees was rough around the edges, as Eland was. Level threes often were hard-faced, the better for playing Dom. They looked the part.
Eland, though, wasn’t sure what level Rees was. Eland’s friends at DNAmo had been easily classified. Aiden was a level one, obsessed with everything sensual, like oils, scents, the feel of different textures.MoreLess
