CHAPTER ONE

IT’S BEEN three days since we last saw the aliens in the boats, whispered Florian. She flicked her long black hair away from her face and looked directly at Josh. She flashed him a blank stare realizing she didn’t need to whisper.

Josh stepped out of the Piper’s open hatch. He wandered over and stood next to Florian, watching Clay put the final touches to the large second wooden pen.

I thought we were going to be invited for dinner and we would be the desert, continued Florian.

Yes, we should have been. The alien from the rock pool did warn us they were cannibals, said Josh.

I’m glad the aliens haven’t returned. The Piper is an amazing ship. The way it protected us by dematerializing into being completely transparent is beyond words, stated Florian.

Clay, downed his tools. He walked over to Florian and Josh, his chest and shoulders, dark from the sun.

How’s the pen? asked Josh.

Clay flashed him a boastful grin. It’s just about completed. Digging the holes for the main poles took the longest. If I didn’t use the hand laser on the wooden posts, I might have been at it for months. I loved the way the laser easily slices a tree lengthways.

Are the pens large enough? questioned Florian.

I estimate both pens are large enough for at least three horses. Provided we can catch them. They have been wild for at least twenty years. The smallest pen is for the lambs we stowed onboard after saving them from the lions.

What about electrifying this entire area? quizzed Florian.

Both boys looked at her serious face. They answered simultaneously. It can be done. It will take a long time to complete.

Getting back on the subject of the horses, any idea on how we’re going to capture them. They are a smidgeon faster than us, stated Florian.

Not yet, but I recommend we capture the ones no older than two or three years of age. The younger they are, the easier they’ll be to ride, said Josh.

Any ideas on how to make a saddle? asked Florian, looking directly at Josh. She too appeared slightly darker on the face and the shoulders from being in the sun.

Josh casually leaned against the Piper’s hull. Not yet. I’ve been racking my brain trying to hack into the Piper’s computer system.

Have you made any progress? asked Clay.

Josh pushed the hair from his face. The computer is locked down so tight I can’t find a gap to get into.

How close did you get? asked Florian.

The fifth level then Henry’s hologram materialized. He’s certainly impressed by my stubbornness to get to the crux of the computer. I’ve never known a computer I can’t hack into.

Did Henry confess anymore about this so-called test the three of us are involved in? asked Clay.

No nothing. For the past hour, I’ve been going over everything since we boarded the USS Lock. I’ve remembered every word anyone spoke right up to the time I stepped from the Piper five minutes ago.

You’re joking? snarled Clay.

You can remember everything? questioned Florian.

And everything I see, said Josh.

How’s it possible, you’re twelve-years-old? stated Clay.

I haven’t told you guys the reason behind my family being selected for the first group to colonize planet X188.

Don’t keep us in suspense, tell the tale, Florian insisted.

I have an eidetic memory.

Care to elaborate? asked Clay.

I not only remember every word I hear I can remember exactly what I’ve seen to the exact detail.

For how long? Florian felt a little skeptical of the idea, but they had been selected for this test of Henry’s for a reason. Maybe the secret Josh failed to say is the first part of the puzzle. She sided on the idea if they unraveled the mystery, they might have a better than even
