Section 8

Part 1

Chapter 1

Omen, ghost-mech scientist, was in a science laboratory. He was in Web, Rit; his home city.

Dozens of scientists were in the spacious lab.

One of them spoke loudly to the room, “Look at this. Look at this message.”

Others crowded around.

The message was from another Rit scientist.

It read: ‘Nature scanners near Gavin are showing signs of the nature curses returning around there in several days. These readings have come suddenly. Warnings have been sent to all of Corterrum’s leaders. All leaders have been now advised to urgently stop all use of oil, fossil fuels. They've also been advised to return their fossil fuels and oil back into Corterrum. Whether this will stop the nature curses from returning widespread is unclear.’

Chapter 2

The scientists in the lab had stopped work on their research. They were considering the shocking news.

Gavin was another city in Rit.

The scientists spoke in almost hushed voices as they discussed what the nature scanners had found.
