“Probably.”
“How many cities have they?”
“We’ve found two. This one and another on the other side of the planet. But the other one’s a ruin.”
“A ruin? Why?”
“You tell us. Lots of mysteries here.”
“What’s the planet like?”
“Mostly jungle. There are polar oceans, lakes and rivers. One low mountain chain follows the equatorial belt about two thirds around the planet.”
“But only two cities. Are you sure?”
“Reasonably so. It’d be pretty hard to miss something the size of that thing we flew over. It must be fifty kilometers long and at least ten wide. Swarming with these creatures, too. We’ve got a zone-count estimate that places the city’s population at over thirty million.”
“Whee-ew! Those are tall buildings, too.”
