"Now that's a huge accusation." Kira said sitting up. "and the people will have your head on a spike if they hear that."
"I know. Vudga is the people's favorite. But when will you learn dear child that I don't make claims if I am not sure?" Clare said. She heaved and sat back, resting her body on the chair and smoking her pipe. It was as if she had forgotten about Ham and Kira in that passing moment.
"Wait," Ham rested his blue eyes on Clare, hoping to get a clear picture of what the women were saying, "You mean this machine…"
"Nebula," Clare added.
"Nebula," Ham continued, "You mean it can allow people to transport things to the other side?"
"Exactly. And that is illegal. Our people live on rare metals. That's basically our food. But Vudga had been exporting it to the other side of the world."
"That's absurd. What your tongue Clare and keep your voice down. Someone might just hear you," Kira whispered.
