With a curt nod, Abana looked up, finally, from the map. With a curt nod, Abana looked up, finally, from the map. "My people have night glasses, and the androids and I have dark vision." The night glasses were the updated version of the night goggles from times past; however, they were recent. Abana had mentioned to see the design and, after acquiring her tribe, build and export them from salvaged materials. They were more compact and clearer than the old night vision goggles, and had more peripheral vision.
"The agile requirement is only for those passing on the mountain, rather than through the two of them. I see no reason not to bring everyone we've assembled here." After looking at the crowd to do a head count, the android started with calculations. 1650, with three wide through the mountain pass and two wide on it, meant 330 rows. 660 on the mountain and 990 between them. 1650, with three wide through the mountain pass and two wide on it, meant 330 rows. 660 on the mountain and 990 between them. Presumably, either Larka or Abana would take the mountain pass, and the other would also walk atop it.
Taking another look at the map, Abana could see that Larka was right. Even with the added efficiency of the other route, it would still take most of the day to make it to the crater, and the night to surround the target. There would be some hours of rest, but the troops' endurance was about to be tested. There would be some hours of rest, but the troops' endurance was about to be tested. Clearly, though, both Abana and Larka had brought their best; there was no reason to be concerned once the fighting began. No, the primary worry would be getting there.
