Gowru Chandit looked. "There's a trench."
"Angle the tank so we'll pass directly over it." He paused. "Can you project this image?"
"Keep it in existence and control where it goes though we're no longer inside? Yes, I can do that."
"Fine. And can you make a hole in the bottom as the tank shape passes over the trench?"
"I can."
"That's what I thought. My idea is that we drop into the trench and the tank continues on. It goes into the forest beyond the camp and as soon as all the troops have followed, you destroy the image."
"Instantly?"
"If you can."
Gowru breathed gustily. "I can create it instantly, but the reverse is not true. It has to fade away, and that takes time."
Rains didn't want that, since it would reveal the nature of the tank. "Is there any other way to dispose of it?"
