A Monkey's Charm

[Tomtomrawr]

Pandemonium was immediately set loose in the meeting chamber. Rampant conversation, shouting, even occasional screams of 'Oooo ooo ooo, ah ah ah! These served only to remind Maktu how different the Primusians were from the humans.

Eventually he grew tired of the lack of focus, and lifted his drinking cup. He then slammed it on the table, what remained of the water splashing out onto the table.

'SILENCE!' His voice was deafening in the cavern. All eyes turned to him once more. 'We leave tonight. Kombuchinus's transport for his visit to the Virulian Enclave on Gran Canaria is relatively unguarded. We can take it, and fly it away from Primus. Then we can start gathering information as to the location of the Coalition, to meet up with them and join their struggle.'

One stood up, the rest remained silent. She pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose, and began to speak. She was one of the scholars of the group, in her mid-forties and spending most of her time in the cave studying texts.

'How long have you had this plan, Maktu?' She was the most likely to put her voice forward. She was confident, enthusiastic but also very pessimistic and determined to know every little detail.

'Rosha...' Maktu began.

'How long?' She obviously wanted a straight answer.

'Two weeks.' He had to tell her the truth, because he knew one way or another she would discover any lie eventually.

'And you decided to keep us all in the dark about this until now?'

'Yes,' Maktu was speedy in his response. 'I had to keep details secret until everybody was present and nobody would be leaving to return home. If any who heard the plan were captured, it would spell the end of our only shot of reaching the Coalition and joining the fight.'

'Are we giving up that easily?' Another voice inquired.
