Chapter 4 - Components And Worry

As the sky changed to a cool orange, the crew spots the Radio Tower. With sputter and a kick, the Ferret stops besides the tower.

There was a home built into the base of the tower which stretched about ten metres up its base. A man, his wife and children came running out of the doors of the tower.

"You must be the crew of the Ferret. Thank you so much for delivering the components. It wasn't too much trouble, was it?" He said

"Nahhh. There was only a group of bandits with weird hand emblems on them. But we took them out pretty quick." Boasted Ehma.

The man's face quickly changed to a more concerned look. He looked back at his wife who was holding the children closer to her. Fear painted into her eyes.

"Apologies for my rudeness but, please unload the cargo and quickly be on your way. I would love to have you folks stay for the night but…" The man paused. "Just please be quick."

The crew looked at each other in confusion. Despite the strange request, they still quickly unloaded the radio tower components into the first room of the man's home. The man handed them large crates of metal in exchange and desperately urged them to be on their way,

"I know it's dark but please, if you are going to set up camp for the night, please do so a few kilometres away from here."
