The Elleshere (Elsewhere) Place

The Fusas insist that Jo travels on the biggest Cut-Tager that they can find, despite the fact that many Fusas have far worse injuries than Jo.  When they get back to the Fusas home on the hill, the party takes Jo's mind off the fact that she still needs to get home.

The Ailer scouts return with the good news that everything is on track, but will Jo's fears be proved right or will Barse's confidence pay off?

With a new day comes a new plan, but this one seems no more sensible than the previous one.

Jo blames herself for not keeping a watch on the coast, but Barse assures her that there was nothing more that she could do.  As if that is not bad enough, Jo dreads the return through the tunnel, she is convinced that the Grobs are waiting to abush them down there.  The Fusas, don't appear in the least worried though.

The journey back to the coast does not seem so far this time, but having all the Fusas and their banter going on around, helps.  The Fusas plan does not sit well with Jo though, she thinks it is far too risky and fraught with danger.
