"What do you mean: Alxx has gone to Forbidden Mountain?"
"I'm sorry Ma'am. I just blurted it out when you said you couldn't understand why my best friend wsn't here for my award presentation. I didn't mean to tell. I promised Alxx I could keep a secret, and now I know I can't!"
"Take care, Mykk. You are a good friend to my son, and I know it hurts you to tell of his misadventure, but the Assembly has strictly banned going to Forbidden Mountain. We have done this for many safety reasons. Not only for us, but for the species that live on that mountain. We cannot allow our people to walk into dangerous,unknown teritory, without first having an expedition there. Many who have tried, have just disappeared."
"I know, Ma'am. But Alxx said he would be back before Sun Call and I am worried about him. Can we send Regulators to look for him?"
"No. I will go myself. I will take my investigative team and we'll try to retrace his steps. Meet me at my transporter in one hour."
