Chapter 114: Climbers

• The next morning Lisa said her goodbyes to the Smithy's and thanked them for their hospitality. They really were a delightful couple, even if Mr. Smithy was always grumpy. Lisa was especially thankful to have an actual meal, even if small, then eating wild game all the time.
• Leaving from there Lisa went back to the ERM headquarters where she had been told that her new volunteers were to meet up. When she arrived Gillian, Nathan and the five volunteers were waiting along with a short, skinny man she hadn't yet met. They didn't seem to have been waiting long and were just now leaving the building.
• "Ah, there she is." Gillian called out seeing Lisa crossing the mostly open parking lot. "Let me introduce to you Mr. Yates. He is the one in charge of the Mech’s maintenance and operation."
