Omar opened the letter and read it. “Myles?” he said softly as he read. He laughed, “Of course you are alive, you dirty old cheat. You would cheat even death his wages wouldn’t you?” Omar shook his head as he read on, and picked up the small device. Then Omar’s mind went into overdrive. This was what he needed, a project that he could pour himself into. He rushed to an emergency solar powered intercom that he had built over the years. He pressed the button, “Peeloff, get up here and bring your technical gear.”
