to be | While the ''Dream'' approaches Aneas, Benny finds the Doctor levitating while examining the Promethean Eye. After Benny breaks his levitatitve state, the Doctor discusses the true nature of the System with Benny. | ||
Soon, the ''Dream'' reaches Aneas. While the ship (along with Kiru and Six) stays in orbit to detect any Sloathe ships approaching, most of the crew begins crossing the mighty Anacon river on longboats. While doing this, they encounter an Anean "pygmy" fleeing from something and bring him on board the ship. The Doctor (alongside Yani, who vaguely understands the Anean's speech) performs surgery on the Anean to heal his wounds. When the pygmy (whose name is Kai) awakens, Yani tells him to be careful as the "Magic Man" (or, presumably, the Doctor) lurks nearby. Yani reveals that the nearby area is controlled by tribes of dwarves under the control of an "eating thing". Soon, these tribes begin firing on the longboats with primitive (yet still somewhat lethal) weaponry. Nathan is driven to a nigh-blinding battle rage by this and jumps out of the longboat he's in. While the pirate captain is able to kill most of the attacking Aneans, he is soon found by the extremely hideous eating thing and trips before he can attack it. | |||
