the star man shifts restlessly in his seat as he searches the ghostly landscape for something familiar. he activates the satel compass. the red and green dots are touching.
both hands on the wheel, jenny is burning down the center line. the star man bends two thin wires trailing out from the grip of the drill. jenny winces as he buries them into the flesh on either side of his left wrist. the car skates around the corner of a low hill. they can see that the cobra is still sitting next to the road.
the star man draws the satel compass out between his palms. the green dot now covers the right half of the red dot. he presses his palms together and looks past jenny at the rugged foothills.
the star man slumps down into the back seat breathing hard. jenny looks over her shoulder at him and is shocked at the strain that shows on his face.
