- It may be possible. Of course, it would have required using something to triangulate the signal and find our location... And it would have required to be relatively close to us to be able to detect the signal.

- But you just said that the communication system was off.
-- Off, yes, but not disconnected. I wouldn't be surprised if it is always active to be usable as a distress beacon.

-- We have been unlucky if this is really the case.
- I'm not going to take any chances, I will remove it. We won't need a communicator anyway.

- Do you have any idea where we are?
-- We rode a lot last night. We crossed the village of Istawish, which means that we must have done approximately one-sixth of the distance between Periu and the East Coast.

- The East Coast? You plan to reach the East Coast?!
-- Yes, unless you have a problem with that.
