"You really ought to take a break," Roland said in concern. "You're going to get carpal tunnel."

Her hands were pretty uncomfortable. She stopped, squinted out at the sky, and grunted. "Been how long since sunset you think?"

"An hour, maybe," Jackson said. "Perhaps two?"

"I'll rest a bit then see how much I can get done before getting some rest. Not gotten much the past week with trying to recover my stuff."

"No problem." She did sound like she meant that. Her hands were killing her. She scooted over to look at the map again.

Roland rested against the rock, closing his eyes.
Jackson watched her. "Seeing anything useful?"

"Trying to memorize where the spirits are hiding out. Wouldn't want to cross paths with them." There was a bit more to it then that, but nothing they needed to know.

Jackson nodded. "That's very smart. They're really nasty. We fought one of their lackeys and it almost disassembled us."

"The spirit's lackeys? Or the spirit itself?"

"And were they human? Bot? Spirit? Some other cursed thing I'm not thinking of?"

"Human, but....also not human."
"Monsters!" Bug exclaimed. "Horrible creatures, artificially designed."
