The energy field's lights were strong and moved in fast bolts across the dome. They can withstand lightning strikes on Earth with no problem."Īt his words, everyone looked up at the night sky. These things are supposed to be tougher than that. I've never actually seen anything like this." "So, about the tent?"Īllen looked up from the now opened energy module, multi-tool in hand. Nerif thought back to the details that Rril had given her about Zoe's past missions and opened her mouth to say something, but then closed it again. Your kind wasn't built for those temperatures. "Nerif, how are you feeling?" Zoe asked, crouching down next to her. Zoe looked up and saw Nerif watching her and headed over. The only concession Zoe had made to the experience was a damp towel that she'd evidently used to strip some water from her hair and face. Nate and Allen were conferring with Zoe over the damaged energy node. Querif and Terif moved out of the way, and Nerif could see Zoe who seemed fine. "Is Zoe okay?" She pushed Querif out of the way, so she could see what was happening to Zoe. "What about Zoe?" Nerif asked, when she could talk again.

Allen wrapped her in a blanket and ordered Terif to make a hot drink, while Querif helped her to sit down on the ground. But the cold seemed to be seeping into her very bones.

"Come on," Zoe said and grabbed Nerif's arm and pulled her back into the tent. "I'm guarding you," Nerif yelled back through the storm. "Nerif, what the hell are you doing out here?" Zoe demanded. She turned it over in her hands before standing up and noticing Nerif. Zoe didn't seem to notice, only pulling her hair out of her face to pick up the damaged energy node. The wind seemed to pass right through her, not taking the time to go around her body, and Nerif shivered.
#BENEATH A STEEL SKY STUCK FEEDING ORIFICE SKIN#
Outside the tent the sound of the storm was horrific and the rain and wind that beat against her skin was painful. Nerif grabbed a weapon and followed her out and then reconsidered her rash action. Zoe swore and passed through the barrier of the remaining tent.
