Minecraft: a Novel

Chapter 19

"C'mon, tell me!" I said.

Lora looked at Jane, who was sitting nearby. Jane nodded.

"Ok. Our sources tell us that a convoy is heading our way. We believe that it is HSP. They might be coming for us."

"But why? They already have the Dark Blaze Rod," I asked.

"We think it might be your father. He must've reported you to Herobrine. That's the only logical explanation. I mean, he knows where you most likely are," Lora replied.

Ben, who was sitting nearby, joined in. "I'm thinking that we should intercept them. We don't want them to cause trouble in the town. If they want a fight, they can get one. Just out were no civilians will be harmed."

"What if it's not a HSP convoy?" I asked.

"We are pretty sure it is. See, they use a technology for their vehicles that no other organization uses. This tech can be very powerful, but it emits gamma rays. The metals they use are extremely radioactive. Gamma rays are actually extremely easy to track. That's why we think it's them," Lora informed me.

Grace spoke up. "That's one of the reasons that we oppose Herobrine. Gamma rays can be extremely damaging to the environment, as well as people. Herobrine's men are immune to the rays, of coarse..."

"How far are they?"

Ben said, "Our gamma ray scanner picked up readings about ten miles out. If we are going to react, we need to do it fast. Their current location is in the Grand Basin, where it probably is the most strategic area to attack, because it's a desert."

"Who thinks we should intercept the convoy?" Jane asked.

Everyone, including me, raised our hands.

"What are we waiting for then? Let's head to the armory!" Ben exclaimed.
