they found he likes Earth?тАЭ Others joined his light chuckle. AтАЩcom did not.

Distracting. Fascinating.

тАЬHm. The search? Any new clues?тАЭ

тАЬNothing,тАЭ search chief Car YтАЩlor said. тАЬOrbital and hover canтАЩt penetrate the
foliage and our search mechs canтАЩt handle the terrain. WeтАЩve sent teams on foot, but
weтАЩve found no more than the base security staff did before we came down.тАЭ

MтАЩlay had left two days ago with breather and shielded exosuit on another
walkabout, his on-going and fruitless search for humans. Tracks led along a narrow
trail to a point five hundred meters into the jungle where his proximity monitor and
med implants shut down.

тАЬNo readings?тАЭ

AтАЩcom wondered what the jungle felt like, what it smelled like.

тАЬNone.тАЭ

As well as keeping animals and insects out, smartwire twenty meters out kept
the intense foliage from engulfing the base. Still, seeds drifted through the invisible
energy wall somehow, and AтАЩcom saw green stalks near the compound.

тАЬSpeculation?тАЭ

тАЬWild animal ate him, Sula.тАЭ

тАЬHm. Continue.тАЭ

тАЬImplants are hard to remove. Painful, even fatal. If heтАЩd taken it out
somehow, it would still signal. WeтАЩd have found it. Even if it had been pulverized,
say in a fall, weтАЩd have still found it. You canтАЩt fragment the device so it canтАЩt
signal.тАЭ He shrugged. тАЬBut we keep finding new life formsтАФтАЭ

тАЬBe careful your search people donтАЩt get eaten, Car.тАЭ

More chuckles. TheyтАЩre all in their colors today.

тАЬWhat about outlaws? Ryal?тАЭ

Agent Ryal OтАЩlai cleared her throat pouch. тАЬIn the two generations weтАЩve
been on Earth, thereтАЩve been a hundred and five reports of escaped or disappeared
convicts. In South America. I didnтАЩt check other reserves.тАЭ

тАЬOfficial?тАЭ

тАЬWhat other kind is there?тАЭ
