Yet the sensometers scattered around
signal a presence,
:52:04
like somebody
walking over the field.
:52:06
It can't be small animals
because the sensometers
:52:09
are set to react
only to a certain weight.
:52:11
They're calibrated
for over a 100 pounds,
:52:13
and no living creature exists small
enough to escape our TV cameras,
:52:17
with a specific mass that dense.

Come on, hurry.
Let's take the highway.
:53:10

:53:17
Spina. See what your book says.
:53:30
The necropolis of Spina.
That's what that name reminded me of!
:53:36
Go on, read more.
:53:38
It was founded around 530 B.C.
:53:42
It was heavily hellenized and
had its own treasury at Delphi.
:53:45
- What's that mean? - That they were

:53:50
The oracle of the dead?
:53:52
