"We're stuck now, aren't we?" Cain asked. Forrest looked at the small pile of equipment they had salvaged, and responded with a resigned tone, "Yes." Even as Forrest spoke, a crack appeared in the ice a few feet to their left. Another crack appeared, and then another, until they formed a circle. The circle of ice was shoved off, and a small, odd looking creature pulled itself out of the hole. "A trifle cold, ya. Must be the ice. Greetings two-people." The creature was a light olive creature about two feet high, with tiny ears and a huge nose. "Um, greetings. I'm Han, and this is Solo," said Forrest, gesturing to Cain. "Hello Han and Solo. I am Yooba, ya." The creature reached into the hole and pulled up an ice pick and a large shovel covered in fur. "I have come from the other side of the strip, ya. There it is much-hot, but here it is cold." "Where is this place? Is there a space port anywhere around here?" asked Forrest, "And can we go down that hole you made? There doesn't seem to be anything nearby, and we'll die if we can't get to shelter." "This is Moebius. There is nothing anywhere, ya. But a space port, ya, you can space-port-find on the other side of the strip. But you cannot cross the strip without one of these," it said, holding up the shovel, "And why should I give you the shovel if you are nothing-having, ya? What will you me-give?" I play fur lined shovel. -- -Henry Towsner Thank heavens, the sun has gone in, and I don't have to go out and enjoy it. -Logan Pearsall Smith ------------------------------ End of acka-games Digest V4 #18 *******************************
