Halos hindi na maitikom ni Drake ang sariling bibig sa sobrang pagkamangha sa laki at ganda ng loob ng sasakyan ng kambal. Pagpasok pa lang nila ay bumati na agad ang isang computer programmed voice sakanila.
“Good day visitors, Welcome to Gemini! Enjoy exploring the whole place. Have a great time everyone.”
Inilibot din ni Earl ang paningin sa buong paligid at napabuntonghininga na lamang siya ng makita ang nakabukang bibig ni Drake. Dahan dahan nya iyong isinarado atsaka bumulong dito.
“Drake, are you okay? Act normal…”
“I’m… normal pare…” anito habang hindi kumukurap ang mga mata.
Earl sighs before closing the eyes of Drake. “An open mouth and not blinking eyes aren’t normal.”
“Did you guys like it?” nakangiting ani Gerard sa dalawa.
“Are you kidding me? We love it! The Gemini is one of a kind!” nakangiting ani Drake kay Gerard at may pag-akbay pa dito.
“Hahahaha… I knew you guys will like it! This vehicle has been passed from generation to generation. Could you believe that? We just… well modified it a little bit and adjust it to the modern technology.” Ani Gerard at nagtype ito sa keyboard na hindi nila namalayan na nandoon pala kung hindi ito umilaw sa bawat tipa ni Gerard. Nabuhay ang lahat ng control sa unahan at bumungad sa kanila ang sobrang laking screen kung saan kitang kita nila ang labas.
“So, we’re going to the north right?” ani Gerard.
Sumibangot si Librio pero hindi na ito kumontra.
“Passengers… seat back and enjoy the view.” Nakangiti namang wika ni Grinnelle na nasa passenger’s seat habang unti unting umaangat ang mga upuan na kumpleto sa safety equipment’s. Umupo na ang lahat. At ng makaupo na sila ay saka nagsalita si Gerard.
“Activate a shortcut map to the North.”
“Please wait a while sir…” anang computer operated voice na iyon. “Downloading complete. Please choose a command. Do you prefer a 3 dimensional map, a holographic map, a picture map or a hardcopy of the map.”
“Whoah! She’s prepared!” manghang ani Lian.
“Gemini has own satellite up on the galaxy, so it’s easy for her to download and know things all over the world.” Pagmamalaking ani Grinnelle.
“A 3 dimensional map please.” ani Gerard.
“Initiating a 3 dimensional map.”
Pagkasabi noon ay naghiwahiwalay ang upuan nila and on an instant ay nasa gitna na nila ang isang glass table na kung saan nakalahad doon ang 3 dimensional map na hiningi ni Gerard.
Napailing na lang si Drake sa sobrang high tech ng nasaksihan. They can even see birds flying on the map.
“So… what exactly is this vehicle? Is this by land, by sea or by air?” naguguluhang wika ni Lian.
“Hmmmm….”nagisip muna si Gerard bago sumagot. “Do I really have to choose? Because I think… it’s all of the above.”
Bumulong sa kanya si Violet. “I told you, this is the most flexible vehicle on our country.”
“Look at this shortcut… is this means that we will pass on the Silver Keep? Isn’t it dangerous to go there? I mean… that’s a Crepuscular fairies territory… right?” mahinang ani Capri habang nakatingin sa 3 dimensional map na nakalahad sa gitna nilang walo.
Nakangiting nagsalita si Grinnelle. “Ohhh don’t you worry little sister, we will just resurface on their port. We won’t actually go there. We need to resurface to buy foods and stuff. This is going to be along travel. Because look…” tinuro ni Grinnelle ang mahabang asul na dagat. “The Faycassio Sea is a long wide body of water if we don’t resurface on the Silver Keep we will starve to death on the middle of that big sea. It’s a Sea shared by the capital city of the Crepuscular which is the Fay haven and the capital city of the Western Star fairies… the Cassiopeia.” Mahabang ani Grinnelle at bahagya pang sumeryoso ang mukha ng sabihin ang mga huling salita.
